Gorgeous Belvedere. I like that A12 RR look. Looks really badass. Nice job.

No, this was not made in St. Louis, MO, it was made in Maywood, CA. With the VIN, we win: R for Belvedere, L for low price class, 21 for two door sedan, B for 225 CID Slant Six, aka "Leaning Tower of Power", 9 for 1969 model year, E for Maywood (Los Angeles) CA assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The Maywood plant operated from 1932 to 1971 and was located at 5800 Eastern Avenue and Slauson Blvd. The Ford Maywood plant was across the street. The Chrysler Maywood plant is now an office building that was built/renovated in 1974. Fenton (St. Louis), MO assembled vehicles would have a "G" instead of an "E" in that VIN digit. It appears that they were going for code "Y2" Sunfire Yellow exterior paint which was a Plymouth paint code for 1969.

Life in Cali … the good life…. with intact vintage car bodies , rust free hardware, frames and often superior paint+- passed down and exchanging hands over multiple decades Must be nice

[@Scott_From_Maine]

Often I'm not that fond of "resto-mods" but this is very tastefully done.

[@LITTLE1994]

Looks like a Road Runner to me.

[@markbattista6857]

Your right, this one is really cool , definitely one of the nicest cars you have featured to date . would you like someone to give it a road test ? Thanks again

[@charlesdalton985]

All the fun for half the price - nice car!

[@SuperOperator4]

SCOOP! There it is..........

[@RudeMoparDude]

Nice build! 🤘🏼🔧💯

[@jeffreycarleton1535]

I wanna get a plain Jane 69 and find a wrecked Hellcat and use it’s drivetrain in the old 69! Call it a Devil Bird!

[@Scalihoo]

Nice hood..agreed

[@spoly0113]

Beautiful!!

[@drippinglass]

7th digit “E” is for Los Angels” build.

[@larrymagee8758]

This guy did what I've wanted to do for years. No one can afford a "real" RR, so make yourself one. Find a base model Belvedere, 6 cyl, or a 318, w/ auto. Yank that, and replace w/ 383, the most common BB, a 4 spd, and a Dana 60 rear end. And Voila, a homemade super car clone.

[@jeffreycarleton1535]

Winner Winner coyotes for dinner!

[@jeffreycarleton1535]

I would buy it! I’m Forrest, Forrest Gump! It is a nice car!

[@zxtenn]

You should give more engine info and dyno readout, not many people going to build and engine like that and not see actual output, some 440's are stroked to over 500 but thats a nice piece depending on price

[@gteefxr3094]

$67,000🤯

[@KirkSH52]

“Steve, why are you so reluctant to disclose the prices of the cars?”

[@zairomolino4074]

Because he is not there to do that

[@terryschnereger8531]

He's not there to market the cars but to showcase them only.

[@pistoncount]

Didn't see this one I was there just a few days ago

[@johnashep109]

Can you insure it as a six cylinder

[@bkeith269]

I have a shorter shifter in my kenworth.

[@Sonoma_Coast]

Beautiful car. What I don't understand are why having a red line on the tires special?

[@timothyrobinson1612]

Because the original 69 1/2 roadrunner and super bee's had steel wheels and red line tires

[@stripervince1]

Awesome except for bench seat and piss yellow color. This guy really knows his shit. Very impressive

[@sledzep01]

why do we want a Post VS a Hard top?

[@sledzep01]

Is it like a trunk VS hatchback? Stronger, less flex? or is it just rarer and more valuable?

[@charlesdalton985]

Stronger and less weight.

[@jeffreycarleton1535]

Less flex less weight!

[@EnfieldJoe]

You can buy a nice RR for that price! Wow, it is nice, but not that nice. Prices are out of control IMO.

[@johnvanlindingham9490]

Thaught it was a roadrunner

[@FaithfulServant316]

Dana 44 or Dana 60??

[@timothyrobinson1612]

Dana 60

[@tulagi1]

The ad is wrong, it's a 60.

[@Novaman66]

Anyone else wonder where the “ Backup” lights were?

[@robertyoder3790]

Right beside the tag in the bumper

[@Novaman66]

@@robertyoder3790 Ahh! I see them now,thanks.

[@jeffreycarleton1535]

Back up schmack up! Who needs back up lights? Unless you wanna hook them up so you can see who you past at night!

[@anthonymartinka7712]

Did they forget the fan shroud?

[@genogeno6643]

Good eye. I remember my Dads 69 Satellite 2 door. He was checking something under the hood while it was running and "BING!" he nicked his finger pretty good on the blade. Didn't loose it, but blood all over. Good ol' days!

[@jeffreycarleton1535]

@@genogeno6643Yeahhhhhhh, when men were men and engine fans were nervous! 😂 glad he didn’t lose it! I bet there were some expletives involved!

[@genogeno6643]

@@jeffreycarleton1535 He was Scottish, so it was something like "Ah Fer Christ Sake Yah Bastard!' Lol

[@josephdipalma5989]

Finally, someone built a really nice BELVEDERE instead of a fake Road Runner. Although the asking price of $67,000 is too high for a BELVEDERE

[@Scalihoo]

if only he invested a few bucks on Road Runner decals & emblems he would get the 65k 🤪🤪🤪
