This 1969 Chevelle SS 396 is in pretty rough shape, but it’s a numbers matching car. There’s a fair amount of body damage and it looks like the vinyl roof held moisture causing the roof to rust. The seller would like $7,500 for it and claims that it has a clear title. The car is located in Canaan, New Hampshire and there is no VIN listed. Thank you, AMXBrian, for the tip.

The original, numbers matching 396 cubic inch V8 is connected to a 3-speed manual transmission. It does have front disc brakes according to the listing and there is a 12 bolt rear end. As you can tell from the photos, the engine is missing elements that would make it come to life. It looks like it was parted out in some places, as you can see there is no radiator or wheel well. The car’s body is in really rough shape, as you can see below.

That carries on into the interior as well. While there are no photos of it, you can see from one of the pictures that there seem to be some parts piled high in it. The windshield is cracked and depending on where this car was stored and if the windows were down, the elements and critters have more than likely destroyed the interior. The more one looks at the car, the more it looks like it might have been in an accident as well.

If this truly is a numbers matching car, it could be worth saving, especially at the price. It would require a lot of bodywork with the front right and rear left quarter panels and then the rusted roof. The engine might be the easiest part of the restoration process that we can see because the interior is unknown. You will need lots of time and money to put this back on the road, or maybe it is more worthwhile for parts. That is up to you to decide.
