Danny;
 
Thanks for your response and comments. My perfect car is the one I had in high school (1970-1974) a 69 Chevelle SS-396 (not sure hp I had) Lemans Blue hard top with white vinyl roof and two racing stripes down hood and trunk with white pin stripes on the side. While my car had bench seats, black interior and column shift automatic I would like to have what I always wanted the car to have, bucket seats and 4 speed transmission. Would like to find one with factory air as I don't imagine I will be as concerned about racing it now as I was then but rather be more concerned with my wife being happy with air conditioner. I believe the car would really have looked better with a white interior for seats and that's what I would like now as I am probably better equipped to take care of them.
 
Danny, finding this car is probably like looking for a needle in a hay stack however that is the perfect car for me. I just want to try to find one as close to this configuration as possible. As far as price I am fairly flexible based on the quality of the car in relation to what it is worth. I am open to a fully restored car done by a quality restoration facility or a really clean car that would be fun to own and drive. In dollar terms say from 15,000 to 50,000. Due to business commitments I don't have a lot of spare time and am not really mechanically inclined but do enjoy driving the cars and being around people and events that share the same passion.
 
Does this help for starters?
 
Steve

Steve, you may have got more than you expected here. There are numerous 69 SS owners here and they are all way more helpful than you can imagine. It would also help if you would let us know what shape of car you are looking for. And a price range that you are willing ot spend and i bet these guys will hook you up!! My son just sold one about a month ago but it was a project car. Good luck on your search. And your question is totally appropraite.....

I will start by saying that I am new to the list and would like to ask in advance for your patience if I am posting a question that is inappropriate for this list. I would also appreciate someone letting me know if it is not an appropriate question.
 
I joined the list just a few days ago after finding the web site while doing some searches on Google. Once I joined I was amazed at the amount of talent and information that existed within this group. I am trying to find a 1969 Chevelle SS-396 to purchase and have been looking and searching for some time to try and locate the right car. I know what I want and have found a few cars that would come close however the fact that I am a novice ultimately undermines my confidence in pulling the trigger on purchasing a car.
 
Does anyone within the group know of someone that is familiar with 69's that would not mind consulting with me regarding my hopeful purchase. Additionaly, I would not expect this type of help without gladly agreeing to pay a pre arranged fee.
 
Again, please accept my appologies if this is an inappropriate question.
