1969 SS396 Chevelle

 

My second Chevelle.  This one was an original SS396.  It needed lot's of love.  My decision to buy this was based on the fact that I had been married for a few years and didn't have a toy car.  My wife absolutely hated the car.

 

First shot is what it looked like when I first bought it.  The car had three different size wheels.  It promptly got new suspension, wheels and tires.  Now the car was safe to drive.  I ended up replacing the whole interior, it looked like it just came off the showroom floor (inside at least).  Then it was time to get the body work done.  At this point the family started to grow and the car expenditures ceased.
