The 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle is an icon. So to have a Super Sport tribute with proper 396 big block power is always desirable. And the color combo on this one is attractively distinct and coordinated inside and out.

The bold orange paint is a later upgrade, and so the finish has a nice gloss that lets this one radiate in the sunshine. You also notice the added distinction from upgraded details like the LED halo headlights, polished 15-inch American Racing Torq Thrust wheels, and a terrific stance from a wider rear set of tires. But even with these upgrades, this one always loves to show off its vintage flair with great SS-style pieces, like the dual power dome hood, correct badging, and wide dual exhaust tips. And since black looks terrific against the orange, the full-length SS396 side stripes are painted on top. This goes well with the SS blackout grille and rear panel coordinate in black. Straight body panels, good body gaps, and bright chrome bumpers mean this has good fundamentals, too.

When you open the door, you're greeted with a well-done black interior. The upholstery, carpeting, door panels, and dash have a deep dark color of a recent investment. The vintage details look good here from the button-top seats to the working dome light. And the best pieces here are all about the driver. Front bucket seats, a center console in-between, a horseshoe shifter, and auxiliary gauges under the dash make for a nice driver.

Under the hood is a 396 cubic-inch big block V8 for a true SS kind of power. And we love the way this one looks with its Chevy orange radiating a powerful message from within the dark engine bay. It goes further than even Chevy did for power with performance upgrades like Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, a Weiand intake, and long tube headers add even more muscle while also contributing to the rumble of the dual exhaust. The TH400 three-speed automatic transmission is a stout and smooth unit. It sends power to the upgraded rear end. The 12-bolt setup and tubular control arms make for a strong package. Plus, power steering, power brakes, front discs, and wide BF Goodrich T/As give this a solid feeling on the road.

This has the iconic Chevelle style, Super Sport upgrades, true big block power, and a very distinct color combo. So if you want a stand-out muscle car made for driving, call today!
