Overview

This stunning 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle 300 Deluxe SS396 represents an exceedingly rare and desirable factory L-code car—one of only 948 built with the legendary 375 horsepower 396 big block and M21 close-ratio 4-speed transmission. A true post coupe with its distinctive 300 Deluxe trim, this car was born for performance and built without compromise.

A lifelong Florida vehicle, it has just 500 miles since undergoing a no-expense-spared, frame-off nut-and-bolt rotisserie restoration, finished to concours standards using a plethora of NOS components. This is not a clone or tribute — this is a factory SS post car with correct mechanical codes and authentic build features, including the radio and carpet delete, further emphasizing its drag-strip intent.

Exterior

Professionally refinished in the correct Lemans Blue, this Chevelle is 100% laser straight with rust-free original sheet metal and show-quality dual-stage paint. Panel gaps are crisp and consistent, with concours-level chrome and stainless trim throughout. Factory-correct SS396 badging adorns the body, and the chassis has been powder-coated to preserve its immaculate presentation.

The car rides on correct steel wheels with period white-letter bias-ply tires, giving it a no-nonsense stance reminiscent of its street-racing roots.

Interior

Inside, you’ll find a correct NOS Deluxe black vinyl and cloth interior with matching door panels, presented as-new. This example is exceptionally rare for its radio and carpet delete, retaining the correct black rubber floor mat in pristine condition — a factory option chosen by those wanting to shave weight and distractions.

Everything inside feels showroom fresh: from the immaculate dash and instruments to the trim and headliner. The cabin is a perfect balance of sparse utility and muscle car charm.

Engine & Driveline

Under the hood lies a date-coded, correct 1969 JD-code 396/375HP V8, mated to a date-coded M21 close-ratio 4-speed manual transmission. The original build was specified with a single fuel line — a known hallmark of the 375HP configuration, as the lower 325HP versions required a return line to the tank.

• Correct date-coded two-piece disc brakes (front)

• Rear drum brakes with power assist

• Factory 4.10:1 Posi rear axle

• Power brakes

• NOS hoses, clamps, and detailing throughout

This Chevelle not only looks the part — it performs like it just left the showroom floor in 1969, dialed-in and mechanically flawless.

Underside

The frame-off restoration extends fully underneath, where the powder-coated chassis and suspension components appear as fresh as the topside. All mechanical systems have been either rebuilt or replaced. From bushings to lines, brakes to fuel systems, this car is both visually pristine and functionally reliable.

Driving Experience

Fire up the 396 and you’re immediately reminded why this engine defined the muscle car era. The sound, the torque, and the seamless engagement of the close-ratio M21 transmission deliver an experience both visceral and refined. This SS396 is not just a trophy piece — it’s a streetable machine that invites the open road or the show circuit with equal appeal.

Summary

For collectors, enthusiasts, and investors alike, this 1969 Chevelle 300 Deluxe SS396 represents the pinnacle of rare big-block post-coupe Chevelles. Factory L-code, rotisserie restored, radio and carpet delete, and concours correct in every detail — this is a car that will anchor any serious muscle car collection.

With just 500 miles since restoration and 79,000 believed-original miles from new, this exceptional Chevelle is now ready for discerning ownership.
