1969 Chevrolet Chevelle Description

This is a classic take on one of Americas greatest muscle cars. This one has had a quality restoration over the course of 3 years. I have pics at home documenting the entire process, but the short of it was full quarters, wheel houses, inner & outer rockers, floors, floorbraces, body-mounts, every frame part and bracket has either been powdercoated black or painted with POR 15. The suspension is completelynew from top to bottom. Paint and bodywork was done locally. Diamont RM urethanebase/clear with Diamont diamond clear. Drivetrain is a tried and true SBC 383 and TH400 combo. The motor is a runner, and makes noises through a set of full length headers into flowmaster super 44's and a set of turn downs tucked up nicely before the rear axle. The car runs cool, handles great, stops on a dime, hauls ass, and gets looks everywhere you go. I've listed below most of the details of the breakdown along with everything that is unfinished or could use some work. I've listed starting bid with no-reserve and am currently accepting reasonableoffers in person. Please direct all questions to me by email and I will send you a phone number. I can provide additional pics or a video of it running upon request.

Unfinished or still needs work

sail panels still need to be covered with the headliner material. (still have the material)
The door panels that are on the car have some minor staining, but there are new replacements in the trunk
The weatherstripping should be replaced
The winshield wipers have been removed
The heater core has been removed along with the heater controls. There has been a patch made to cover where the old heater box used to go
There is no radio
The fuel gauge doesnt currently work
The hood and front valance still have the EDP coating on them. I still have nearly a quart left of the Diamont basecoat that was used on the car.
The driver side window in the door could use some alignment adjustment within the regulator
The windshield has a tiny rock chip in it, that is not spreading and I don't believe will spread.
Front valance is missing the trim that follows the front headlights.
