Old Coyote Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 .... 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 Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 Nice build, i love the colour combination!
Mister Twister Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 Always nice to see your builds John...They're always super clean. Nice work!
Erik Smith Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 Nice looking Chevelle. I just saw a 69 SS 396 fixer-upper sitting at a farm where I went to get pumpkins.
Z28 Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 JOHN- Have you tried to find your old "Love" ? Marty

My dad had a 69...burgundy with black vinyl roof...I was around 5 yrs old!!
Dr. Cranky Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 Absolutely amazing! Love the color. A wonderful model.
bsoder Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 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 B)
surfjunke Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 Great color combo. Really nice clean build.
Monty Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 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?
Old Coyote Posted October 31, 2011 Author Posted October 31, 2011 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 :D
