this '69 2dr post bel air was built the 1st week of feb. '69 at the tarrytown ny chevrolet plant. as purchased,
it came with a '72 454, saginaw 4spd, 3.08 10 bolt rear. it originally left the factory with a 6cyl. and 3spd in the
tree trans. was shipped to and sold out of missouri.

ABOVE/BELOW....here's a few picts a couple days after purchase. originally a code 63, champagne paint with black vinyl
bench seat interior. only options it seems to have had are pwr steering and dual outer mirrors, it was also a radio delete
car. looks like a previous owner tried to make it resemble an impala, note the 3 lamp rear bumper and painted
outer door window frames.

ABOVE....a tired mess under here, came equipped with a 750 holley carb and intake, '65/'66 exhaust manifolds, the original
6cyl. 2 grv pulley alternator and a noisey gear drive. note the missing belts and crank pulley, which flew off on the way
home.
ABOVE another mess here also, more attempt at the impala look. have removed tach/gauges and steering wheel
and ebayed them. also found and installed a correct bel air dash cluster to replace the hacked out impala trimmed dash. carpet
also needs to be replaced, faded to brown.
