what a beautiful car. Back in the 90's, my high school girlfriend's dad had a 68 396 Chevelle car in the pasture and he loved to tell me the old street racing stories, and I loved to hear them. I drove a 74 nova and he appreciated that but looked down on the bumper. Those were good times. I still prefer the thin tail lamps of the 68. Both the 74 and the girl were my first. Luckily, i still have the car. Memories!

I remember kids still drag racing on back roads, organized with a party going on the sidelines. Kids just a bit older than me in 1980. The road was called "Hawley road" in Mason county Michigan. I check it out once, (I just got my license and a hand me down, and handed down again car. Older brother first). Just like going to a sporting event, but free. :) I thought the Nova was tough. People sure made them run. I got into dirt bikes instead, (big growth there, like early muscle cars), and picked up a 2007 Mustang with a V-6 in it. I never had a 300-350hp muscle car, so a couple years after obama got elected, I put a roots blower on it, (plus a lot more stuff to get it up to that stuff), modded it more and just had it restored. I like the original old man muscle car better, but it will do. Cervini side pipes, (much more loud than I thought they would be) insure I don't drive it often. :) Looks a bit like like Elinor from the remake.

Being a teenager in the 70’s, I remember seeing these cars a lot. The fastest street racer in our town drove one, our H/S quarterback had one, (as though he needed more help scoring chicks), and my friends mom had one with a six-banger. They were seemingly everywhere. Not so much anymore. This was the exact combination I always wanted. What a beauty!

Fun fact: In 1970, the SS 396 Chevelle actually had a 402 in it. The 402 was a bored out 396. It was marketed as a 396 in some cars, and the Turbo-Jet 400 in other cars, even though it was actually the same engine.

My cousin bought a brand new 1967 Chevelle SS, with a 396 cubic inch, 375 horse, that you had a hard time taking off at a red light without spinning those little six inch wide, blue line tires. When it rained, you really had a difficult time just MOVING from a stop! I believe that by 1969, that 375 horse motor had so many warranty returns that they began to sell them installed with the 325 horse. This car (although a little 'newer'), brought back some memories.

That's TOTAL baloney....the L78 was a rare but available motor thru the 1970 model year, though after '69 it no longer was a '396', even though Chevy retained '396' on Chevelle SS fenders. In '70 thru '72 the former 396 was bored .030" over to produce 402 cubic inches, & subsequently called the "400 Turbo-Jet".
@RonRay

@@M21L35 No baloney! I'm not saying that the 396 was discontinued, only that Chevy produced the lesser horsepower from the 375 as "stock". I don't know if you could get the 375 or not, but the "production model" were no longer 375 horse. I had a good friend who bought the later model (1969), and his was like this one (in the video), because he couldn't get the "375 horse". He took it to all the drag races around our area (I went down the track a couple of times in it.) I remember the Chevrolet people would have their "agents" at all the major drag races (and even some of the smaller ones), and if you brought one of their big boys to the track, the warrant was VOID!

Unlike most other cars, '69 Chevelle steering boxes were 4 turns lock to lock; Most cars are 3. It makes for the smooth steering they're talking about. The downside is trying to correct/countersteer the car when the rear end breaks loose. Sometimes, you literally couldn't spin the wheel back & forth fast enough to keep you out of the ditch. That's what I've heard, anyway..... :) Sparks in Daytona

Absolute beauty! As nice and fast as some of the new muscle cars are, they don’t quite catch my eye like the old school ones do.

To me, the '69 Chevelle is the most beautiful of all Chevelles. I'm sort of surprised this example has a bench front seat, and not buckets with a console.

Gabe, Jay, I can attest how awesome those Chevelle SS 396's are. I had one myself back in 1969 in LeMan Blue. Had the big engine, the 375hp one and it was a bearcat for speed. Congratulations, Gabe.

Haven’t heard of Fluffy before but had to click immediately when I saw the car. Greeting from a fellow Chevelle SS 396 owner from 🇩🇪 Mine is not quite as original, but it’s burgundy (even rarer than garnet red in 1969) and has bucket seats and a console. Chevelles are much less common than e.g. Mustangs over here which is a nice extra bonus. Keep up the good work, Jay!

In my opinion, the styling of the '69 is much nicer than the same generation '70 and later cars. My brother-in-law had a 350 '69 in Chicago and Clevland and the poor thing rusted unbelievably in just 2 or 3 years, but it ran great. I recall clandestinely taking it out for a ride when I was 16 (and it was about 5) and thinking it was very quick.

I think back on my childhood - Long Island, NY circa 1978. If a first time teen driver drove down the street with that, you were instantly in the cool crowd. You'd see Cragar SS's on them - deep-dish in the back, with the rear slightly raised up. That throaty sound at start-up brings back many memories. The '69-'72 Chevelle or Camaro was the car of choice and they weren't cheap by the standards of a used car at that time. Maybe they were $1,000, but that was double the price of the typical first car.

I loved the 67, Kid next door had one that ran in the 11s My Camaro SS 396 was only running in the 14s. I had to swap out the stock shifter for a short throw Hurst shifter because second gear was not straight back. There was a little hitch to one side. Loved that Hurst shifter , never missed second again. Bet the throws on this car are long shift.

Awesome car. Had one in 1981 while in high school. Mine was Blue, but had with the turbo 400 auto steering column shift. Had the A/C option that didn’t work. Pretty much stock except for US mags and air shocks in the rear. Sold it for $1300 bucks in late 1982 when I went off to college. One of the biggest mistake in my life. Ugh!!😎 Great vid
