.... as I usually build race cars

This build is a replica of a '69 Chevelle SS396 I owned years ago .......... It was ordered by an individual and delivered to Plains Chevrolet in Amarillo, Texas .......... but something fell through and the car wound up on the showroom floor despite its odd configuration

It was powered by a 350 horse 396 with a TurboHydro 400 transmission ........... no A/C, but it did have power steering and brakes .......... Teal inside and out .......... bench seat and a column mounted shifter .......... a strange combination, but I really loved that little car

[Haubenschild]

Nice build, i love the colour combination!

Sharp Chevelle John! I really like the color combo on it! Someday, I hope Round2 will reissue this kit with an Olds chassis and better tail lights.

[Mister Twister]

Always nice to see your builds John...They're always super clean. Nice work!

[crazyjim]

Looks terrific and SHINY

Nice looking Chevelle.
I just saw a 69 SS 396 fixer-upper sitting at a farm where I went to get pumpkins.

Nice!!! My dad had a 69...burgundy with black vinyl roof...I was around 5 yrs old!!

[Dr. Cranky]

Absolutely amazing! Love the color. A wonderful model.

John just getting this kit to look good is a chore...but this one is a 10+ and the fact that it's a build of your old ride makes it even better!.. I happen to think that's a good looking color combo

[surfjunke]

Great color combo. Really nice clean build.

John is apparently a practitioner of styrene alchemy - capable of turning a mediocre kit into a worthwhile build. Nice job!

John, what paint did you use on the body?

John, what paint did you use on the body?

I used Leon Tefft's Cobracolors Emerald Turquoise Metallic ......... it's an almost perfect match for the '69 Chevelle Teal
