1969 Chevelle SS396 375HP L78--NO RESERVE

 I am re-listing the car at NO RESERVE--So please only bid if you have the funds available--As I really need to sell the car and don't have time for re-listing because you cant come up with the funds.   Now to the car--I have been told that this is a true L78 Car--I have the #'s Matching block that will be included in the sale-It has the correct Vin stamped along with the correct Suffix Code JD and has the Hi-perf stamp on it-See the photo--I do not have a build sheet or protecto plate--what I have is the block--The car currently has a rebuilt 396-325HP motor from a 66 Chevelle in it--The original block is good and is ready to be built and has no cracks. It is a true Lemans blue car with paint code of 71B-Obviously it was a vinyl top car-The guy I got it from did not like the vinyl top--I personally love them and had planned on putting the correct vinyl top back on it--It is a 4speed car. It was a frame off resto before I purchased the car-The previous owner did the resto-I believe it to be a nut and bolt resto-It was done sometime in the last couple years-I think he said he had close to 50k into the resto-So all the chrome trim and body panels are excellent-There is one tiny chip on the car-its about the size of a pen head maybe a little bigger-I think one of my kids did it in the garage--The interior is excellent-Everything works as it should but does need the factory radio as that's the only thing missing-The cars undercarriage is very nice-Its a little dusty and could stand some simple green and a rag. The car has been just sitting in my garage under a cover-It runs fantastic-It drives down the road straight and true . It is very quiet-It has the stock manifolds and is very quiet mufflers--Close to stock I would say-It has the correct 14" SS wheels and I was told they are the original wheels that have been restored and have the correct date codes-I had it appraised and it will come with the car--It appraised at 35k without the original block-I had it done before I was able to obtain the original block for the car-The guy I purchased the car from had the original block and I thought it was included when I bought the car-long story long-he decided he had to get extra money for the block-and basically held it for ransom and I had no choice but to pay the ransom for the block-and it wasn't cheap--But I had to have the block-Its what makes the car-It proves it to be a true L78 car- SO needless to say I gave him the money for the block and it is now INCLUDED IN THE SALE!!!!-With all that being said I am still in contact with the previous owner of the car--and he's actually a very nice guy-and loves muscle cars as much as me-He says he has lots of photos of the car during the resto and before-I have never seen them-But I will put the new owner in contact with him if you would like -he also knows more of the history of the car-I do have a standing offer on the car of 25K But I really never intended on selling the car-So I figured I would try on e-bay as I believe the car is worth more-We are now selling it as my wife and I have decided to install an inground pool at my house to the tune of over 50K so I need to come up with some cash-The car will be sold with NY registration in my name and is being sold as-is where is-I love the car but my kids happiness is way more important to me than my car--I have quite a few cars-mostly Corvettes-This is the nicest car out of all of them-and for me its just too nice and Im afraid to even drive it-My goal when I bought it was to rebuild that L78 motor and wrap it in plastic-its too valuable to risk blowing it up-and then someday sell it to help pay for the kids college-But like I said I know what kind of happiness that a pool will give my kids and to me that's priceless-So if your interested in purchasing a piece of Chevy history here is your chance. -And its being priced at what a 325Hp car would sell for-As it really needs to be sold to help pay for the pool!Feel free to come and inspect the car-or ask any question you may have-I will try and answer them the best I can-I had to relist this car so this is the new listing--I had a lot of e-mails on the car from some really nice and knowledable people and I have had a few haters e-mail me on the car -So if you don't have anything nice to say then don't e-mail me-This is what I know and what I was told--I am no Chevelle expert but I am listing it with the facts I have in front of me and what I was told--You be the judge--If you don't like it --then don't bid on it and don't buy it---It's that simple-I love the car and think its a great car-and I think it speaks for itself--I encourage you to come and view the car and judge it for yourself--Car is obviously sold as is where is--it is 45 years old!--Like I said its a nice car-and will make someone very happy-If you have any questions feel free to ask-I will try to answer them the best I can-Car is for sale locally-and if there are no bids then I reserve the right to cancel the auction

Lots of emails again on the car but no bids--I may end the auction and keep the car if it doesn't receive any bids before the end of the auction -If it gets any bids then I will let it run and sell it--If not I wont relist it- I will just keep the car--its too nice to give it away-I will sell one of my other cars
