Silver 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan L78
Just got back from picking up my next 69 Chevelle SS post sedan resto project.
There are a few pictures in the for sale section under the Ebay, Craigslist heading, but I will be able to post any progress on the car in this section. Just a couple pics for now to show as we loaded the car, and then driving by US131 Martin Dragway. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...8-dscf7897.jpg https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...9-dscf7898.jpg https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...0-dscf7896.jpg https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...1-dscf7894.jpg What does this say?

Easier on the eyes. I dropped Jim off at his place, then took the truck and trailer home, so didn't actually drive the car home. I lashed the back of the car down, so I didn't make Jim do it all. A big Thanks! out to Jim (Wheelhop) for all his help on getting her home. |

Another automotive adventure!!! Ryan |

Great job Rick.....
"She Devil"...... I like it. If you keep it up....you are going to have to change your username from "Rixls6" to "Postmaster" [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img] Kurt [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] |
Re: Silver 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan L78
Thanks all. Appreciate the input.
[img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] Postmaster, huh? Sounds pretty good. Couldn't wait to do a little digging, and pic taking. Interesting piece of paper in the back seat. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...7-dscf7930.jpg https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...8-dscf7931.jpg https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...9-dscf7932.jpg https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...0-dscf7933.jpg Old emblem holes that are 3 3/8" apart https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...1-dscf7904.jpg https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...2-dscf7908.jpg https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...3-dscf7910.jpg https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...4-dscf7911.jpg [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img] |
Re: Silver 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan L78
Very cool....M21. What does is say on that paper above the 752 Interior Trim?

Re: Silver 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan L78
I bet your heart was racing when you saw that paper under the seat?
Exciting [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] Dan |
Re: Silver 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan L78
I assume they ran out of the IBM Punch Cards....so a regular piece of paper did the trick.

Dan </div></div> I found a very similar paper like this one in the red post car also, hand written in purple crayon. Can't quite make out the numbers on the top line. |

Exciting [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] Dan </div></div> Yep, when I first pulled the seat out away from the back panel, I saw nothing, but then saw what I first thought was a piece of vinyl, but quickly realized it was paper. Couldn't wait to get the hog rings out to read it! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img] |
Re: Silver 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan L78
Very cool Rick [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
Looking forward to seeing her. Dan |
Re: Silver 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan L78
Congrats on your latest purchase Rick. Look forward to watching the progress as always.

Re: Silver 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan L78
Car looks good! It was fun coming along. I think this is the 3rd SS Post and and an LS6 that I've helped Rick pick up. I told Rick that if he keeps finding the L78 post cars it's going to dilute the market and make my "2-fuel line" SS postcar worth more.

With that said, I will strive to help your "2-fuel line" car worth lots more. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img] |
Re: Silver 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan L78
Looks pretty decent. Glad it went to a good home!

Re: Silver 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan L78
Jim,
You`ll be fine....as your '69 SS396 300 Deluxe Post Sedan Chevelle is no L78....but IS a Great Rare Color! Dan |

Re: Silver 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan L78
Rick, congratulations on a great find. Did you know this Post Chevelle was an L78 car before you went to look at it?

I knew it was a Real Deal 1969 SS396 300 Deluxe Post Sedan.....as I had the car in my registry. HOWEVER, the owner never did know that it was a real L78 until Rick came to look at it. I spoke with another Post Sedan enthusiast....that was very surprised on what Rick had discovered....as even with his discussions, the owner gave no indicator that if was an L78. Rick.....whatever you do, do not pull that horse shoe out of your a$$ [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] Dan |
Re: Silver 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan L78
Goes to show, leave no stone unturned as you never know what you may find! Great job. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: Silver 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan L78
Great stuff also congrats again Rick especially being an L78 car! So originally a '73 454 block and what casting? Looking forward to more including NCRS result! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img] ~ Pete |
Re: Silver 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan L78
Just for my knowledge what's the determining factor that it's a L78!

As those have said before me......"Those are trade secrets" you know who you are [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img] Mike.....I will text you. Dan |
Re: Silver 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan L78
Does this mean the black car's restoration is now complete, or did you buy this car because it was now available? This looks like a "better" car from s resto standpoint that "Cowboy's" old race car. Congrats on the purchase.

Re: Silver 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan L78
That's how it usually goes....for every abused rare muscle car that is found and restored.....usually a nice one comes along bigthumbup:

Still have a bit to go to complete the black car. The engine is being lonely [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img] sitting on a broken dyno, but should run any day now. The chassis awaits it. Whenever I see one of these 69 Chevelle SS post sedans, I will try to buy them provided the value is there. You know, typical collector mentality. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/crazy.gif[/img] |
Re: Silver 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan L78
Yup I was hoping the purchase of the red car didn't stall the restoration on the black car. I look everyday for updates on the black car however I know these restorations are not cheap and take time. Rick is there a build thread on your LS6 Chevelle.

Yep, time and money is it. There is a thread for the LS6 somewhere, but that car got stalled all from my fussiness over the replacement carpeting. Found the old thread, with most pictures gone from it. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbt...opics/493455/1 |
Re: Silver 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan L78
At least my pictures of your LS6 are up [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]

Dan </div></div> Yep, those are the only ones, but I did find the old thread over at Team Chevelle and revived it. http://www.chevelles.com/forums/show...97#post8127097 |
Re: Silver 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan L78
It`s easy to stop Rick and divert him?
Want to see [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img] Rick, I found another Post Sedan for sale.....yep, you guessed it....in MI. The rear emblem also starts with a B_ _ _ _ R ends with an R. Same owner since 1974. Fully Documented. Call me for the rest if the details. This is not a joke. Dan |
