This 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle is an excellent representation of a true-blue American muscle car, presented as a highly desirable SS model. While we do not have the original build sheet to definitively confirm its factory SS status, the car carries all the hallmarks of a genuine Super Sport and full factory-style SS equipment. Originally leaving the Kansas City plant in Garnet Red (Paint 52 E), it now features a menacing black-on-black look powered by a 402 CI Big Block V8. For the enthusiast looking for an SS that is ready to hit the road today while offering room for light cosmetic improvement, this Chevelle is a standout.

Exterior
The car wears the full SS treatment with pride, featuring the iconic dual cowl hood and complete SS badging. The body is predominantly original metal, with the exception of the left rear quarter which was sectioned rather than replaced. The frame is nice and solid, and the pinch welds look good throughout. While there is some "normal" rust visible in the body—as expected with an honest, unrestored driver—it provides a very strong foundation. The car has a fantastic stance and presents as a tough, Big Block machine.

Interior
Inside, the cabin has been upgraded from its original parchment bench to Black Strato bucket seats. A TH350 transmission is controlled by a floor-mounted ratchet shifter, though the dash still retains the original column-shift selector window—a detail the previous owner noted often points to the original SS configuration. The interior is clean and functional, offering a "driver-grade" experience that is ready to be enjoyed immediately.

Underhood & Underbody
Under the hood sits a powerful 402 CI V8 (Casting 3999290) that makes great power and sounds exactly like a Big Block Chevy should. It is equipped with Power Steering and Power Disc Front Brakes, making it much more manageable on the road than many of its contemporaries. The power is sent to a 10-bolt Posi-traction rear end (Suffix ACC) with 3.08 gears, a perfect setup for both stoplight pulls and highway cruising. The solid frame is a major selling point here, providing a sturdy, reliable backbone for this muscle car.

Driving
This Chevelle runs, drives, and stops nicely. The 402 V8 is healthy and responsive, and the TH350 shifts through the gears without issue. It is a confident runner that makes plenty of power. As with most classic projects, it could use some minor "dialing-in"—specifically, the brakes feel a little soft and would likely benefit from a bleed or adjustment. However, it is a fully functional driver that you can take to the local cruise-in tonight.

Conclusion
This '69 Chevelle offers the look, the sound, and the power of a true Big Block SS. With its factory Garnet Red heritage, solid frame, and 402 V8, the heavy lifting has already been done. We've been transparent about the rust and the lack of a build sheet, but the car speaks for itself on the road. Please note: We only have what is seen in the photos and video; we encourage you to review them thoroughly to see the honest condition of this SS.
