Sold 1970 Chevelle SS 396 Survivor w/6,200 Original Miles

**69L78** · #1 10-10-2023, 11:21 AM

I am helping a local older gentleman, who was just diagnosed with ALS, sell this incredible True Survivor 1970 Chevelle SS 396-350 HP, silver w/black stripes & bucket seat interior with 100% original born with engine, paint, interior and all 5 original General 700 BIA/BELT tires, the spare tire is NOS & has never been take out, the trunk area is incredible as well as the black bucket seat interior. All the original dealer paperwork is included, the car was ordered new from Campbell Chevrolet in Dornsife, PA on 9/22/1969 and delivered on 12/6/1969. The original wanted to street race the car with his friends, so before he took delivery, he had the dealer remove the 3.31 gears and install a set of 4.10's, the original 3.31 gears come with the car, all of this is hand written on one of the invoices. The original assembly line General tires have approximately 50 miles on them, he removed them and installed the oversized tires and aluminum slot wheels, unfortunately, the aftermarket wheels & tires are not available.
I have known this car & original owner for many years and have seen this car in person many times and it was always kept covered with 3 car covers. Approximately 5 years ago, the original owner did sell the car to the current 2nd owner who is 74 years old, he does not have the car covered in its current environment, so it is dusty & needs a careful cleaning.
For more information, you need to PM me or call me privately anytime from 6 AM to 11 PM EST. I only have a few photo's to share here that I did take from my iPhone on Sunday Oct. 8, so I want to apologize upfront for the pics probably showing upside down or sideways.
Jeff 717-three, four, eight, twenty four, twenty four.
The car is being advertised here only at $119,000

I am sorry to hear of his diagnosis; GLWS.

This is the holy grail of Chevelles to me. Very tempting.

Sorry to hear of the owner's ALS diagnosis. Several years ago I bought a 63 Corvette 340 coupe from a gentleman who was diagnosed with ALS. He was in the process of unraveling his affairs while he was still able. I bought the car cheap just because he liked me. We forged a relationship and remained connected he following 6 months until he passed away. Having experienced that, I cannot imagine a worse way to go. Prayers to the Chevelle owner and his family.

Certainly worth the asking price and what a beautiful original car. Sorry to hear of the circumstances surrounding the sale and your friend. That is a unique way to hold the TCS relay onto the gutter, I have never seen that before. Love those tires!

Sad to hear of another person with ALS. I had a friend pass from this many years ago too.
Seems he left the hood open while sitting too. Very dusty now and even inside the air cleaner.
Someone needs to buy this at this price, who will keep and drive it before a flipper gets their hands on it for profit.

Say....what's this?!

With a 3.31 swap to 4.10, the miles on the car would be artificially higher than they actually would be. The odometer was spinning faster than it would be with the 3.31. It may actually be a 5,000 mile car unless the dealer changed out the gear in the transmission.

I'm fighting the desire to move on this. I am glad it's advertised only here and will go to a real enthusiast.

Whoever buys this, please get in touch. I know the person that can sympathetically detail it to the highest possible level.

Beautiful car. Whoever buys it needs to get Steve to squeeze it into Vintage at MCACN this year.

What a wonderful reference piece. Especially love the correct original BLACK master cylinder. And the duller, more silvery finish on the brake booster.
