Sedans don’t always get the spotlight in the Chevelle world, but this 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle Concours arrives with a long list of recent work that deserves a look. Thanks to Tony Primo for the tip. The seller is asking $9,500 for the car alone, or $11,000 with all of the spares, and the craigslist ad places it in Jacksonville, Florida. The listing shows a clean title and describes the car as being in good condition.
The seller describes it as a Concours no-post sport sedan with the ZL6 Concours package, factory air conditioning, a rear defroster, front shoulder belts, and hidden wipers. The interior is dark green, which the seller calls rare, with fleur-de-lis embossed on the seat tops. The odometer reads 32,000 miles, and the seller says the original dash showed roughly 32k when they installed the modern digital gauges it’s currently equipped with, although the listing provides no documentation to verify the claim. Under the hood is a 350 with a 4-barrel carburetor that the seller reports is numbers-matching and rated at 300 horsepower, paired with a TH350 automatic.
According to the seller, the car is mostly original except for the wheels, the front suspension, and several updates completed within the last 12 months. The engine was reportedly removed, cleaned, and repainted, with new seals, a double-roller timing chain, an oil pump, and long-tube headers with new dual exhaust. The seller also lists a new radiator with electric fans, an HEI conversion, a new fuel tank and lines, front disc brakes, quick-ratio steering, drop spindles, LED headlights, and a digital gauge insert. The seller adds that the original gauges, alternator, and starter are still on hand.
The seller is open about the rust. Front fenders show typical rust at the lower front and rear, the trunk pan center and rear deck are listed as rust locations, and the floor pan has some pinholes. The seller says replacement panels are on hand for the trunk pan and rear deck. The seller also reports no signs of crash damage or prior bodywork, a replaced radiator support and inner fenders, and a dented trim piece at the right-front wheel arch. The seller also has boxes of removed original parts and new spares, which are part of the $11,000 package, along with a vintage air evaporator system and polished Sanden compressor available at an additional price.
The seller says the car runs, drives, and stops very well and has been taken to car shows. With the mechanical work done, the remaining question is how much metalwork it needs. What would you do first?
Mostly original…except for the long list modifications done to it.
