Re: [Chevelle-list] Buying 69 Chevelle
Steve, After closer inspection of your new Chevelle, I noticed the radio antenna is located on the rear fender where as the antenna on my 69 is located on the passenger side front fender. My Chevelle is all orginial and I was wondering if anybody knows if the rear mounted antenna was owner installed or if the rear mounting was a dealer option. Do you remember where yours was mounted way back then?

Re: [Chevelle-list] Buying 69 Chevelle
Rich, I noticed the same thing... Mine is all original and mounted on the pass fender as well. It seems like I have seen the rear mounted for different options.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Buying 69 Chevelle
Different animals, but I know that on some Oldsmobiles of that era, if you got a power antenna, it was mounted in the back. I've never seen it on a Chevelle before, but it looks nice.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Buying 69 Chevelle
The rear mount antenna was a factory option in 69 Chevelles. You could order it that way. It was not a dealer installed option. It was installed at the factory just like the front mount. It should be mounted on the pass rear quarter. You could get it with AM antenna or AM/FM antenna. My L78 purchased by my uncle new and by me in 1975 has a rear mount AM antenna.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Buying 69 Chevelle
That's a pretty reasonable assumption. Its hard to sit down when the antenna is in the middle :) -Original Message- Most of them came with either front or back...
Re: [Chevelle-list] Buying 69 Chevelle
I have owned one of my 69's since it was new.
Antenna was on front fender from factory. Since that time I have acquire 2
other 69's and both had front mounted antennas. Guess you could order rear
antenna as you could order almost anything in those days.

Chevelle Steve, After
closer inspection of your "new" Chevelle, I noticed the radio
antenna is located on the rear fender where as the antenna on my 69 is
located on the passenger side front fender. My Chevelle is all
orginial and I was wondering if anybody knows if the rear
mounted antenna was owner installed or if the rear mounting was
a dealer option. Do you remember where yours was
mounted way back then? Rich

Well guys, I bought the car
yesterday. Not perfect, but
for now as close to the car I wanted as any I have
seen and for a price that I think will insulate me
from paying dearly for a
mistake. Want to thank
eveyone for your help. Mike Trainer thanks for calling
me, sorry I could not get

busy. I will get the car
week after next and then I will no doubt have a

Steve, One thing I noticed on that E-bay car is
that the A/c if an
aftermarket setup. They are using the factory
compressor but they way the hoses
go into the firewall indicates an aftermarket
setup. Aftermarket A/c
isn't necessarily a bad thing but the seller
should have mentioned
it.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Buying 69 Chevelle
Steve: Welcome to the List. Obviously you've got a few miles on you a few dollars to spend. I had a 65SS in 65. After the Army, a few marriages 3 kids, at the age of 52 I went looking for my dream. You can call it a mid-life thing if you want. Like yourself I'm not super mechanical. I can do more with my head than I can with my hands. But I also love driving my 65SS, havingsome knowledge being around the shows people. Occassionally you'll hear a remark about those who can do those who buy. Don't let it bother you. If you look at what's going on in today's muscle car sales auctions you'll see our generation doesn't have 10 years to build a car. There are muscle car wizardsout there that love to build sell. Those of us that can't build, love to drive maintain, and share the passion. Maintenance alone on one of these cars canbe a full time spring to summer job! Especially if you want to show it. Once you buy, you'll want to add your own touches. The guys on this List are incredible. The amount of expertise knowledge is mind boggling. No one holds back. The name of the game is HELP SHARING with RESPECT for all. Indicate what areayou live in the guys will find you. There are also Chevelle Clubs throughout the US, my own is the Maryland CC, check out our website, National organizations such as ACES.The List as well as all these other areas can be valuable when looking for the right car. I found mine on the List had it shipped from the west coast almost 5 years ago. The process took about 3 months to complete from search to delivery. Once again Good Luck Welcome to the List. Be careful when talking to strangers utilize listen to these guys on the List. They won't steer you wrong!

My perfect car is the one I had in high school (1970-1974) a 69 Chevelle SS-396 (not sure hp I had) Lemans Blue hard top with white vinyl roof and two racing stripes down hood and trunk with white pin stripes on the side. While my car had bench seats, black interior and column shift automatic I would like to have what I always wanted the car to have, bucket seats and 4 speed transmission. Would like to find one with factory air as I don't imagine I will be as concerned about racing it now as I was then but rather be more concerned with my wife being happy with air conditioner. I believe the car would really have looked better with a white interior for seats and that's what I would like now as I am probably better equipped to take care of them. Danny, finding this car is probably like looking for a needle in a hay stack however that is the perfect car for me. I just want to try to find one as close to this configuration as possible. As far as price I am fairly flexible based on the quality of the car in relation to what it is worth. I am open to a fully restored car done by a quality restoration facility or a really clean car that would be fun to own and drive. In dollar terms say from 15,000 to 50,000. Due to business commitments I don't have a lot of spare time and am not really mechanically inclined but do enjoy driving the cars and being around people and events that share the same passion. Does this help for starters?

Re: [Chevelle-list] Buying 69 Chevelle
Steve, You might try to make the ACES Regional events where you will see many 69s and might be able to buy one. You will be able to tap the huge wealth of knowledge that is always walking around as well. I suggest you learn how to read a trim tag so you can tell what you are looking at.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Buying 69 Chevelle
You should try to find a local person who is known to have some expertise to look at it first, but if I were going to spend that much money on a car, I would go there and see it myself as well. A few hundred bucks for a plane ticket is worthwhile if you are going to spend $20K. They all look nice in pictures. BTW, power steering, power brakes, and A/C are not rarely found on these cars. The one I bought last week has all of those options (and the front brakes are disc). No pictures of the trunk (not the nice new carpet, but the metal) or the floorboards (you can shoot into a mirror for those). No mention of whether the engine is original or if it's an original SS car (so it's probably not). -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Steve Haines Sent: Friday, March 17, 2006 6:24 AM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Buying 69 Chevelle If anyone has time I would appreciate some comment or questions regarding the link to the car below.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Buying 69 Chevelle
Title: Message Its very important because if you can prove that it's an all original numbers-matching SS car it is perceived to be worth more money.

Many of the cars have engines and some trannys that have been updated or changed and might be the only significant item that does not match the original car. Steve

Re: [Chevelle-list] Buying 69 Chevelle
John; Thanks for the information and advice. Talked to the car dealer this morning. According to him car is an orginal SS with matching numbers except for engine. He said he has documentation that the engine was switched under warranty shortly after car was purchased new. I have not heard from any list members in the area of Ball Louisiana so I asked for dealer to give me a reference on credible person to look at car for me. He made a recomendation and I called the guy who seems very knowledeable and is a rep for cars on line inspections. Claims to have been in car business for 30 years and doing this for over 10. He is going there at lunch to inspect the car and then call me. Dealer claims car is a strong 2. Car came from Texas. Thats the latest.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Buying 69 Chevelle
Be double leery of dealers. They'll tell you anything and accept absolutely no responsibility for it being correct. Unless he has documented proof of the car, like build sheet or POP that matches VIN and shows original engine to be a 396, anything else like 'dealer replaced engine' is worthless IMO.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Buying 69 Chevelle
Thanks for the plugs, guys! Dale, you're right about me not advertising my stuff on the 'net. I prefer to have ACES Members get first shot at anything I try to sell. However, both the '69 SS convert and the black SS with the 427/six-speed are both gone. The only '69 I have left is the Frost green Malibu hardtop (350/PG/PS/PB/factory A/C) w/green bench interior. Nice, solid KY car that's a good cruiser with newer paint, redone interior, and five-spoke Vintage (Torq Thrust look-alikes) 16x8 wheels. Oh, and we've moved into our new home/office, so the ACES Hotline has also changed to: (615) 643-ACES (2237). I can send pix of the Malibu (and any other car I have listed in Chevelle World classifieds) to anyone who's interested. OK, now I gotta get back to work, as I almost have the next issue of CW ready to go to press, and it's the one with the CB'06 registration form in it!

You will be able to tap the huge wealth of knowledge that is always walking around as well. I suggest you learn how to read a trim tag so you can tell what you are looking at. There is some software available on the TC website that can help you with all the codes. The list can probably help you make up a list of codes to look for on the trim tags.

Title: Message Danny; Thanks for your response and comments. My perfect car is the one I had in high school (1970-1974) a 69 Chevelle SS-396 (not sure hp I had) Lemans Blue hard top with white vinyl roof and two racing stripes down hood and trunk with white pin stripes on the side. While my car had bench seats, black interior and column shift automatic I would like to have what I always wanted the car to have, bucket seats and 4 speed transmission. Would like to find one with factory air as I don't imagine I will be as concerned about racing it now as I was then but rather be more concerned with my wife being happy with air conditioner. I believe the car would really have looked better with a white interior for seats and that's what I would like now as I am probably better equipped to take care of them. Danny, finding this car is probably like looking for a needle in a hay stack however that is the perfect car for me. I just want to try to find one as close to this configuration as possible. As far as price I am fairly flexible based on the quality of the car in relation to what it is worth. I am open to a fully restored car done by a quality restoration facility or a really clean car that would be fun to own and drive. In dollar terms say from 15,000 to 50,000.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Buying 69 Chevelle
Title: Message Steve, I bought a rust bucket Malibu and hope to be going to paint soon. I believe the one gentleman was right, that the stripes on the hood were not a factory option on the 69's although who knows with special orders. Also, with your long list of specific items, chances are slim of you finding that exact car. One thing to consider is that an SS clone is a very easy thing to fake for the model year 1969 since you can't tell by the VIN if it was an SS or Malibu, or"plain jane". However, there are some cases where the color of the car can prove it was an SS from the factory.You'll pay a premium for a true SS, and if it's that easy to fake by throwing in a bigger engine and a few emblems, is it really that big of a deal? Rust in the window corners, trunk pan, floor pans, floor support braces,and quarters needing to be replaced are very common on cars that haven't gone through a complete restoration. Here's my point. Find a really nice Malibu and take it to a trusted body shop for an evaluation before you buy it. Get a complete eval and what it would cost to make it exactly like what you want it to be with a nice new quality paint job. Also consider some upgrades like disc brakes and better suspension as well as all new weather stripping. Get the engine built like you want it, or better yet, get a new crate 454 or if you have the bucks, get a new LS7 aluminum 427 small block. Put a 5 speed overdrive Tremec tranny behind it, and a rebuilt posi 12 bolt rear with 3:73 gears and cruise til the cows come home. If you need to deviate from factory stock anyway to get what you want, wouldn't that be a better way to go? No worries about being "correct" and modify it any way you want! Now, if it's a factory correct, numbers matching, documented factory SS car that you just have to have, then buy one fully restored as it's cheaper than restoring one.if you can find what you wantand then don't modify it or else ...what's the point?

And a price range that you are willing ot spend and i bet these guys will hook you up!! My son just sold one about a month ago but it was a project car. Good luck on your search. And your question is totally appropraite. - Original Message - From: Steve Haines To: The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Thursday, March 16, 2006 12:24 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Buying 69 Chevelle I will start by saying that I am new to the list and would like to ask in advance for your patience if I am posting a question that is inappropriate for this list. I would also appreciate someone letting me know if it is not an appropriate question. I joined the list just a few days ago after finding the web site while doing some searches on Google. Once I joined I was amazed at the amount of talent and information that existed within this group. I am trying to find a 1969 Chevelle SS-396 to purchase and have been looking and searching for some time to try and locate the right car. I know what I want and have found a few cars that would come close however the fact that I am a novice ultimately undermines my confidence in pulling the trigger on purchasing a car. Does anyone within the group know of someone that is familiar with 69's that would not mind consulting with me regarding my hopeful purchase. Additionaly, I would not expect this type of help without gladly agreeing to pay a pre arranged fee. Again, please accept my appologies if this is an inappropriate question.
