John;   Thanks for the reply. You may be correct about the car I had however I know the car was a one owner before I purchased it from local Ford dealer and I know the person who bought it new, (he is now superintendent of our local schools) and I have always been under the impression that it came from the factory as I have described it.   Steve ----- Original Message ----- From: John Nasta To: The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Thursday, March 16, 2006 2:40 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Buying 69 Chevelle I doubt that you will find one already done just like that for several reasons, only one of which is that the 1969 SS cars did not come with hood & trunk stripes, or pin striping for that matter. I am also surprised to hear that it had a white roof & stripes and a black interior. I thought they were usually more color coordinated than that. My guess is that the car was altered before you got it.   Are you sure that you want to give your phone numbers out on an email reflector that is trawled by spammers every day? Something to consider.     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Steve Haines Sent: Thursday, March 16, 2006 3:03 PM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Buying 69 Chevelle   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
