#Chevelle #Chevy #SS
69 Chevrolet 396 SS sold today at Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach for $87,000.
Oh I know it ;) I got this for a good deal!
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds One of the best videos you ever made Randy. But please decrease the length of these specific car videos. Make 2 parts of it. It will definitely increase the watch time and will increase the views. Btw Keep it up bro.
@@Rao_Sahab_7878 I’ve tried that and it kills the views for both videos.
This man got his Chevelle on happy hour
I bought a #’s matching disk blue 69 chevelle ss 396 4spd with 3:31 geared 12bolt from original owners daughter in 1978 that’s I still have to this day.
The $87k 69 chevelle ss396 on NJ auction was a more rare low prod # L78 396/375hp version.
Lastly,a 69 Chevelle gas tank is roughly 18-20gals & not the 15gal like was stated here.
Absolutely the nicest car you’ve ever purchased. A true American classic muscle car. I wouldn’t change a single thing! Put some nice radials on her but please do NOT put some ugly, oversized, “modern” wheels on it. Those original SS Rally wheels are awesome and make that car look classic. Chances are the shift linkage bushings are worn or simply out of adjustment. Very simple fix. Congrats on the excellent purchase! I had an original ‘70 SS 396 in high school and I loved that car!
I'm with you I'm starting to hate resto mods
I agree too. Nothing ruins a nice car quicker than those stupid looking oversized rims. I been saying for a while that I can't wait until the awful trend of giant rims goes away.
Needs a hurst shifter, my dad had one when it was 2 yrs old(except was 375HP) and the muncie shifter was the only problem. Hurst cured sloppiness and this behavior.
My first car was a 68 SS396 4 speed Muncie. Still have the registration from 1974. I carried a small hammer to quickly get under the car & tap the trans linkage to unlock it when it would get stuck in gear.
What’s so special about the puny under sized and ugly stock wheels? I never could understand the fascination of any OE wheels?
This is not only the 1969 Chevelle this is the true muscle car and chick magnet for that year
My dream car is a 69 Malibu COPO. Same color as this, but with no stripes, a black vinyl top, a L72 427 bbc, and an M22. Which was rated at 425 hp (in reality closer to 450 hp). You found an amazing deal Bud. Gorgeous car!
Seeing the Chevelle stomp the Porsches ass by itself was worth watching the video for
I have to say this : in 1969 , I was heavy into Muscle cars ! That Chevelle (in it’s day , & the roof is on the option list ) was likely bought new by a 35 yr. old settled down hot rodder ! Vinyl roofs were old guys cars, no young active gear head would have one ! The colour & stripe comes from the “Wenco” rare option ! That was the day when muscle cars were everywhere , and then us young guys had no idea the cars we drove & raced would cost 60-80K today ! 1969 Hemi Road Runner was &5,200.00 , 340 Dart Swinger @ $2,900.00 ! Etc.
Would strongly recommend switching from the stock Muncie shifter to a hurst shifter. Would be one of the best things for that car I can promise you that
Radial tires, they are not a joke. Nice video and best of luck with your new Chevelle SS 396. This engine is prone to breaking rocker arms (or they were back in the mid 70's, part material may have improved) and the trailing arm rear suspension will pull apart after repeated hole shots. I switched to Mopars years ago not because there was anything wrong with Chevrolet other than EVERYBODY has one.
You don't know what your talking about. had mine 30 years nothing wrong
My first car was a '66 Malibu 327 4-speed so I have a soft spot for that year. But truthfully any Chevelle up until 1972 is OK with me. This '69 is a gem, Randy. I hope you enjoy it brother.
Cool, My first car too 66 Malibu 283 3 speed
@@terrymott8581 - That's awesome, bud! I still see my old Chevelle around. In fact, I worked with someone who bought it from the guy I sold it to. He changed the Cragar SSTs for Chevy SS Rally wheels, dropped in an LS-6, and raced it. I'd love to be able to buy it back someday...
I had to laugh when you mentioned the "tires problem". I purchased a 1977 Trans Am out in Tucson AZ back in 1984, it came with cheap bias-ply power cat tires and when I drove it, it did the same thing was like trying to steer a train off the tracks, I put new BF Goodrich Radial TA's on it, and it drove like a new car. Still have the car, it is like new and the wife drives it every summer, great Chevelle content, gotta love it.
Randy is one step closer to his dream....MWM is over the moon driving the Panamera back to Oklahoma with you....you guys will reach a new heights with the half a decade and modern automobiles.. an enriching experience by far....regards from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia....
Price is high but awesome car especially when fixed up. And it's nice to see it saved. Can't wait to see it cleaned up.
I agree with Brian. Its nice to see the old girl go with someone who appreciates it.. In High School I always saw 3 chevelles in my neighborhood RED 68 WITH A 396, A White 69 old folks car and a blue 70. The 68 was sold and lasted about 2 days.. The White 69 was sold and lasted a week going from being driven carefully to being really abused. I moved from the Neighborhood so don't know what happened to the 70. I do know the owner was friendly and drove it nicely
No it's not. You clearly don't know anything
awesome! now keep this car you can rebuild that 4 spd yourself easily for under 600. glad you finally bought a good car
Randy, ignore the haters. You have more positive people on your channel than to waste your time otherwise.
If that’s the original numbers matching trans you would be better served to get it rebuilt. You could add a Gear Vendors overdrive unit and the car becomes instantly more drivable. It effectively becomes an 8 speed because it adds a gear between each gear. That would be great content as well.
Nice cars! Being an old fart and having to deal with 4 speeds in my cars. Your problem with 1st and 2nd may be linkage adjustment. But don’t keep driving it an letting it pop out of gear. You will just ware off the teeth and have to replace the gears or transmission. At any rate the SS is a great car. Nothing wrong with old school.
I think your problem is the 1st gear synchro
With the transmission getting stuck in 2nd gear, then popping out of 1st, I would take a look at the linkage under the car. It may just need adjustment. By the looks of the car & the information you have shared, it seems like the car was restored, sold at Mecham & then just sat for the most part. So it probably just needs driven and have the kinks worked out of it. Beautiful Car, '69 is By Far my Favorite year of Chevelle!!!
This is the thing with every car auction now. People buy a barn find, restomod it , sell it, then someone else buys it, leaves it sit for years, the engine locks up, they sell it again, then the next buyer does the same thing. It's a idiotic cycle of morons that buy cars for clout and never drive it.
Great purchase! I have a '69 SS just like that and a '72 SS 454. Both cars have the Muncie shifter and they both scrape the plastic insert in the console. You are not alone.
Great Video Randy, That ‘69 396 Chevelle Is A Beauty, Good Seeing You and Mike Made It Back Safely..
The orange paint with the off white interior is awesome on this 69. The car is a beauty and I would buy it in a second. I have a 69 Malibu from Tennessee that I have owned for 37 years. My family has also owned 3 other 69 Chevelles. One 396, one 350 and another 307. The 69 is my favorite year of Chevelle. I can’t wait for you to have it detailed back in Oklahoma. The only thing I see is wrong in the interior buttons. They should be round, but other than that she looks great. Enjoy it Randy.
Those tires are probably exact replicas made by Coker Tire in Chattanooga, TN.
Great job! Cool airplane video and music!
Thanks man! I appreciate you!
Careful with your new ride looks great u and Mike make a good road team, great video also👍👍
Happy Birthday Mike, My birthday is on April 9th, yeahhhh 🤘🏽🔥
Nice find👍I was very blessed on my 18th birthday/graduation gift..My father gave me numbers matching 1970 Chevelle SS all original with a 454 (LS6) I've had it for 33 yrs now he bought it new in 1970 (year I was born) from the dealership.. Have all the paperwork even original invoice..The car has a few miles over 97,000 miles.. Been garaged kept every year..Had offers of over $70,000..But I would never sell it..My son turns 18 next year & I have been debating on giving it to him like his grandfather had given me..
If that muncie is popping out of gear and needs rebuilt but you also want some more top end speed then it sounds like a tko 5 speed with o/d might be a fun upgrade 🤔
Id love to have the junk muncie
Remflex header gaskets. Get them. Never have a blow out again. Linkage needs to be adjusted on that trans. Ac is probably empty. Find the leak and get r-12. It can be found. The condenser was designed for 12 and not 134a.
Sounds like the syncros for first and second are nearly gone in your transmission.. You will have to check for a trans leak or a rear end leak or rear main seal leak. You need to pull it and have it rebuilt. Bias ply tires will do what you have going on.. Switch to some Radials and radial shocks and it will be nice and smooth driving.
Start with the 20 minutes to get out a tool and adjust it proper. The bushings are probably shot also.
I think you mentioned you might be able to get some documents for the car. PUSH for that as having documents for the car proving authenticity Is HUGE for resale. Also if you choose to take anything off or out of the car (like tires/wheels) be sure to keep it all!!
iuuhi iu
ihihhhh ihhi u h hhii
hi hi h
hihhiihhi i
ih hihhiih ih huh i huh hhhhh
If those tires are bias ply, they're famous for finding grooves and ruts and following them .
I'm a Mopar guy but that is one nice Chevelle! I love that color, good buy!
M22 is O.E.M (special order)... with 3:73 or 4:10 gears in that 12 bolt rear end... she go!... burn rubber on me!
There's an old song, I believe it was " Little Nash Rambler.. "with the lyric "Hey buddy How do I get this car out of second gear?"
Why would someone bid the Chevelle to $ 39,750.00 but refuse to go another $ 250.00 and just buy it? Seems odd to me anyway great purchase Randy will be fun seeing you and the team make her perfect.
In this day and age? Probably so they could say that they did.
@@DanEBoyd "oh man, I almost had a 69 Chevelle SS but the dude wouldn't accept my offer."
The beauty of the Chevelle is how much fun it is to drive. It is simply more fun than other cars.
Awesome cars and vid! You’ve taken it to the next level for 2022 Randy. The 69 Chevelle is my favorite car you’ve ever had.
Sometimes your shifter will just need a good adjustment to keep it from popping out of gear. Mine had shifter arms reversed
All the symptoms of input shaft bearing being bad in a Muncie 🌘🌒 Thanks for sharing Randy
First thing I'd recommend- do an oil change, see about the AC, header gaskets sound blown, and (especially) put radial tires- those are re-pop bias ply tires. They took some liberties with it as you noted- Edelbrock intake, "Slayer" carb, Mallory ignition, headers, audio system -the factory radio is gutted w/the internals changed out to cosmetically look right, but better sound & options. Older unit, probably from late'90's early '00's with a CD player, and the alternator looks to be a internally regulated 1-wire with a Delco sticker on it. All those stickers & paper tags/sleeves are re-pops, along with the inspection chalk/paint marks being replications.
Those are not knocks. Get all the issues (none major except the gearbox/shifter ) and that's a good cruiser that is much more livable than most vintage cars.
If I remember correctly, Coker Tire (that makes the reproduction vintage tires) does make a radial version of the Firestone Wide Oval tires that are on the car now.
@@digitalrailroader by Randy's description of it "Tram-lining" horribly, and the quick glimpses of the tread pattern, I'd be surprised if they were radials.
@@olikat8 I’d have to agree, those probably are reproduction bias ply tires.
My 69 Camero Z-28 was the same color with black stripes. Love the Chevelle.
Awesome video randy been waiting for this one
My father imported his mustang 66 from California by a company to France in 1996 still original paint
That car is a beasttt 🤘🏽🔥 congratulations Randy 😀
Congrats Randy on saving the 69 Chevy and making the 1500 miles home. Very Cool Chevy.. lv the video.
Absolutely beautiful I love all of the stickers and tags that are on the car that Muncie might need adjusted but it's probably gonna need rebuilt, that 396 probably is done at 5k rpm it's a big block.
I used to turn my 70 SS 396 7200 rpm with cam, high rise, and headers. pull 60 mph in 1st gear with 355 rear gear.
Beautiful SS 69 chevelle! My favorite color on the 69s and that code 72 monoco orange is only on SS so even without docs u know u have an official ss chevelle! Beautiful color combo!
Im picking my 71 chevelle up from my buddies shop today i cant wait to film sum content as well.
The sixty-nine Chevelle is the car that I always wanted. My cousin had one and I fell in love with raw power. yours is beautiful and I would love to get a ride in it. I am in Georgia in a nursing home and miss being able to have a car to run around in.
Bias ply are notorious for catching a grove in the road & tracking it..
Unlike a radial tire, the side walls are basically squared off..
For sure! Forgot all about those old tires!!
As an owner of a fury on bias ply white walls from Coker, I can attest to this
hi from uk randy and MRM 👋👍41:50 and 41:55 my heart melted at the door sound💓 love a old door shut noise its it says a lot lol I said it in MRM live feed and in the recent bmw upload on interior he goin to do some door shuts for me soon 👍👌 lol cant wait to see whats next coming randy👍 thanks for your time be safe and see you soon 👍👋
Randy , I’ve watched 4-5 of your videos , just subscribed, the Chevelle did it. Buy & drive takes nerve ! Some $ to spend , but a keeper . From a car guy that has a motto , never fall in love with anything with an ownership ! Owned over 200 cars in my life, and at least 30 keepers ! Don’t own them anymore ! Have fun while you can !
I had one it was silver..i gave 1,000 in 76..396 .. 350 hp turbo 400..i repainted it built the motor with 427 aluminum heads a really good transmission builder rebuilt the trans..i would eat camaros mustang's porsche vette's trans am's oldsmobile 442..it embarrassed a few guy's who thought they were fast..no one ever out run it..the gas gauge floats and the wipers come out of the blade housing .. i haven't seen refills in a long tome but you might..synchronizers may be worn out in the trans..you don't need a new one unless you wan't one..i enjoyed the video and i hope you enjoy the chevelle i know i did and remember it's lighter than it looks...it got about 11 mi. Per gallon and I'm in Georgia..lol.....Cheers 🍺🍺🍺🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Nice Chevelle! The paint may be a COPO color? Not a standard Hugger Orange color.Bumper guards are a rarity. I just bought a near mint shell for my 1971 Pontiac LeMans GT-37 today! Getting this thang back on the road!
Hope to get it back on the road this yr or so!
You and Monkey wrench make a good team Randy 🙈🙈👍👍 safe travels. That Chevy is awesome. Excellent purchase 👍👍
Was waiting for this video, well worth the wait. Awesome car randy
The valve cover says GM Tonawanda. That's the Tonawanda, NY GM engine plant, they did all the big blocks there at one point over the years. Tonawanda is a suburb of Buffalo. I hauled many of those motors over to the assembly plants in Michigan, did it for years.
Randy, love love love this beast! For the gears popping out, I'd check the gear linkages first, try to lube them up or adjust them. Do an oil change on her, put an A/C belt, maybe upgrade to a modern fuel injection or install an Edelbrock carb on her, check the spark plugs and she'll be ready for the road! Also please polish her up and put new stripes on 'er, she needs 'em.
Happy Birthday. I'm a chevelle lover, I'm on my 3rd one. 70ss elcamino 64ss Malibu and 66 Malibu 4dr. Love them all.
RANDY, You should do a Collaboration Video with @Patrick Glenn Nichols. He's a Chevelle Expert & he could look over this Chevelle Top to bottom front to back and give you a complete history on the car and tell you what parts are factory and correct and what was replaced, what is incorrect, what was put on aftermarket etc, and he could probably do the appraisal your looking for. Great Car, Looking forward to more videos on it!!
You need a transmission rebuild, following the lines in the road is lower ball joint slack. Mileage is due to rear end performance gears. I had a ‘64 impala SS, it cruised @22 mpg, w / 336 rear gear, 350hp….try AAMMCO transmission for lifetime guarantee…..
Proud of you bro.. enjoyed this one.. the Porsche is my next dream car.. !!!
Great video, man!!! Happy Birthday, MWM!!!
My first car was a 69 Chevelle. Same shifter crappy Muncie. You have to hold it in first gear. It's worn out. Paid $875 for it and gas was 43 cents a gallon. If I babied it I could get 12 mpg. I loved that car!
Having fun watching this on June, 2, 2022. You both are great!
i turned down a 68 ss with a 396 in it rust free all complete but engine was apart ready to go back together good clean body for 3500 but i just picked up a 64 chevy 11 with the matching # 327 stripped to bare metal full set of chrome trim for 1200
Definitely a dream car
Since it pops out of 1st, with that cam, a set of Mickey Thompson Super Scavenger headers (from that era/ non existing) and a M22 rock crusher tranny, you'll be heard coming from a mile away!
Loving every minute of it! Thanks for the content Randy
The shifter and transmission in those year models were all noisy
When I went through my first transmission I found a super T 10 That was such an awesome transformation I never had a bit of problem with it and I raced it every week awesome transformation
Randy what a nice car you just bought!! Im a Chevy guy we own a Suburban 2017, a Traverse 2017, a Chevy Blazer 1998 one owner ( my wife) and a little Honda HRV 2022 to save some gas but that Chevy Chevelle is a gem I’m one of your subscribers greetings from Chicago Illinois .
When do we get to see the car all buffed up and detailed? I really want to see how it turned out.
DUDE........Nice Whip!!! Keep post coming. REALLY enjoy watching your content!!! AJ...Little Rock AR
Randy and Mike great video! Two great vehicles for the channel can’t wait to see more content!! Happy Birthday Monkey Wrench Mike! Stay blessed!!
Randy hello from Eddy in Myrtle Beach Sc! Love your brothers videos and will continue to support U ! I have watched every single one u have posted even in the Uber days ! Take care and keep ‘em coming ! Take care brother !
I appreciate you!
I had the exact same problem with my 69 SS. I finally put in a Muncie 220 Rockcrusher and the problem was solved !
Happy birthday Monkey Wrench Mike 🎂🎂
There was the 325, 350, 375 hp 396. Big damper - 375 horse, or vin code.
Mine is the 350 horse before upgrades. It’s a 396 bored 30 over with edelbrock 500 lift cam and forged pistons.
Thanks for posting this video. You always have great content. And your friend Mike is always a great addition to your channel. Love what you do. Keep up the good work. From Ontario Canada.
Thank you
Hi Randy love the car. I want to see that Chevelle at some local Car shows OKC!!! hands down one of the best cars you purchased!
Thanks man! It was at cars and coffee today in Pauls Valley!
At 15:42 it's not a show car.
I was in 3rd grade in 69 when that car was out and spent half a year bed ridden with appendix trying to kill me,those were the days.
This would have been a great time to add the combustion chamber cleaner (made by GM, order by the case, its cheaper), and add it to every fill-up on the way home. The carb & engine would have been singing like a female Robin in heat!
The older Chevy's have a floating gas tank. Its always been that way. I have owned quite a few and they always did that.
Agreed. Most of the 70's GM cars I've owned had a floaty fuel gauge. You get used to it though.
Growing up a guy up the block had a hoard of orange and white muscle era cars. In the early 90’s there were 5-10 orange Chevys this color on the block. One similar to this. Makes me wonder where they ended up.
Happy (belated) Birthday Mike!!!🎂
I found a one owner low mile camaro Z28 at Pick N Pull in Sacremento 24 years ago >> they would not sell the whole car to me 🙁 . Car was immaculate . So i pulled the transmission and engine out .
I live in Gallup. Working on my 79 Pontiac T/A. 130 thousand miles on the motor and trans. Runs great.
I like the aftermarket wheels. You bought better for the chavel than the ones that came on it. They look a lot better I think
Just subscribed to both of your Chanelle's. Can't wait to see the chevelle come back from detail. I would have bought that chevelle. I have bought a few cars on Ebay and have had great luck. You got a hell of a deal on the chevelle.
Thanks for taking us along for the ride. After spending that kind of money, I’m surprised you wouldn’t have a shop change all the fluids and put some decent tires on it before taking it cross-country.
I've never watched this guy before. Does he have any practical mechanical abilities or is he just a dealer who pays to have his wipers changed? I don't know I'm just asking!
those leaky header gaskets are very easy to change. you could do it right in the parking lot.
Better hope it’s a exhaust leak and not a flat cam.
Good Video Randy and Mike Love The Car Nice Ride Major upgrade for a Car Show
You need to adjust the shifter from under the car. Watch a you tube video on how to adjust. easy job. It all starts with an alignment hole on the shifter then adjust your linkage. If you watch the column you will notice it moves when you put it in reverse that is call reverse lock out.
I had a74 gran prix with 400. Go across town and use some gas. Mine used to dip down when stepping on pedal and then come back up and be registering lower fuel level. Lotsa fun though 😆🤟
The moment we’ve all been waiting for! And man that intro is killer!!!
Thanks bro! Can’t wait till Power Tour!
It doesn't have a map sensor so when the elevation changes and you don't manually adjust your carburetor then it changes the performance of the car and gas mileage. A little tech information for you lol!
This car is beautiful!
Nice car… I dream of doing long road trips like this in fun cars by my self or with a friend and it seems like you are doing it every other month lol. Keep it up!
Hay Randy, this Chevelle SS is so nice, this has to be one of the best road trips so far. I am really looking forward to more videos with this car soon. Hope you both had an amazing trip, it looked amazing
Back in the mid 70s my brother in-law had a 69 SS396 like that one that was green with a black top and interior 375HP 396.
It's in great condition, but you gotta like white seats & vinyl tops to want it. Of course a creamsicle would probably fit right in, in L.A.
