Description for Chevrolet Chevelle 1969

1969 Chevy Concours 6 passenger wagon, this has the hidden trunk in the back. Concours is the deluxe trim for 69 and had the SS style grill and other upgraded trim. Original Turbo fire 4 barrel 350 v8 car with factory air, tinted glass, hidden wipers, dual tailgate with power rear window, HD cooling, automatic, 12 bolt 2.73 rear end.
It is a great driver and ready and able for a comfortable long distance trip. I trust the car to drive any distance without trouble.A new windshield was installed less than 5000 miles ago so it is very clear.The car runs strong and handles well.Everything works and AC blows cold air. AC compressor has been re-wired with a toggle switch to allow the defrost to be used without running the compressor.It has been on many trips and has never stranded us. We drove this in its current state from Southern California to Yosemite and on to Hetch Hetchy and back with all our camping gear in November of 2017 and had a great trip with the car not missing a beat.This has been well maintained and given many upgradesover the years.It gets mileage of about 14 in town or traffic and around 20 on the open highway at 70+. I have driven this in everything from the desert at 118 degrees to mountain snow conditions as cold as 4 degrees without any trouble.Car still looks good but with the paint being 21 years old now I consider it a "20 footer". There is some minor body work on the rear drivers side & some minor rust in the usual locations on the lower fenders andfrom doors.
The car has been in the family since 1971 when my father bought it fromthe original owner. I have had it since the early 90s.

Car was partially restored in 1996 with body & paint, Suspension & Interior work.
In 2002 the front bench seat was replaced with power leather buckets from a Chrysler 300m and the rear seat re-done in matching vinyl. Front buckets have some wear. Carpet was done at the same time but has some fading. Headliner is good. Stereo is Alpine with cd player.

This is a good car to keep and drive as is or for someone who would want to re-do the exterior & interior and not have to worry about the drivetrain. Please ask any and all questions. I've done all the work myself so know the car inside and out. I have tried to be complete and accurate in the description but like any private party sale of a 50 year old car this is sold As - Is.
No reserve with a realistic starting bid. Thank you for looking and bidding.
