Just confirmed. Car is sold. I received other photos from the owner. It appears to me that the car needs a frame. Rotted really bad in the cross member area. The trunk floor has some rot also. Nice car with great color and Docs., but like other members has said you would be into it much more than it’s worth. If I was a little younger and more energetic I’d probably still buy it and restore it.

I believe frame rot was seen on many 69 Impala, Belaire, Biscayne models. I owned a 69 Belaire many years back and the frame broke and rusted out bad under the rocker frame area of the car. My frame rotted out on the rear part of the frame where the tail pipe exited the car and also the frame rails behind the rockers. I had a welding machine business weld some straight T channel to hold it together until it let go in the back of the car. Heard others say it was a problem of course in the winter States where snow and salt was common.

Back in 76 when I first bought my Z24 Convertable I was the 5th owner in 7 years. I knew all the previous owners names. A women two streets over bought it new. The fenders and quarters had rot repair. The trunk and floor boards patched with old body panel sheet metal and rivets. Non the less I was only 16 years old and had so much fun in that car. Unfortunately I didn’t realize at the time how rare it was.. I pulled the motor and tranny and sold it for $200. I only paid $500 for it. I installed the motor in a 71 ChevelleSS 454 car. Had it in that car for 12 years then pulled it and put it in a 74 Super Cheyenne 454 pickup for another 12 years. I still have the motor after 45 years waiting to go into something else.

So, if I were to come get the engine and pay you $300, you would break even on that purchase ?...
