1,600 miles on frame off restoration!

Description for Chevrolet Chevelle 1969

Only 1,600 miles on a body off frame restoration. I drove this car home and it is right. My brother drove it for a weekend, also was very impressed. Functions as good as it looks. At 65 mph, let go of the wheel and it goes straight.
EXTERIOR: Stunning color combination. The Hugger Orange with the SS stripes down each side is really an attention getter. The body is completely straight and smooth, even along the bottoms. There's no bubbles, spot-welds on the rockers are still clean. It was taken apart to be painted. The paint has been polished out very glossy. It looks like all the chrome has been replaced including the bumpers, tail lights, door handles, mirror, emblems, marker lights. The front bumper has a few minor imperfections. The grill and trim has been replaced. The door jambs are painted real nicely, has new weatherstrips, window seals and sill plates. Bottom door lip is clean. White convertible top is in excellent condition. It goes up easily, fits nicely to the windows.
