every red blooded American man or woman want a bright shiny red 1969 Chevelle Convertible? 1969 was the start of
the pinnacle in the Muscle Car era, and a True Red 1969 Chevelle droptop is one of the most highly sought after
muscle cars on the planet. They surely don't come around too often. In fact I would pretty much believe it's safe
to say that the majority of the people out there have not seen or will ever see a car like this again for the rest
of their lives. I purchased this sweet original factory red Chevelle from
a gentleman in East Long Island New York back in 2005. This was his high school car, and his mother needed her
garage cleared when I got the call. He was kind enough to let me have it. This car was originally ordered from the
factory as a triple red Chevelle convertible. Yes, I do know they never made a Yenko Convertible. I'm fairly
certain Yenko Chevelle's, Camaro's, and Nova's were all hardtops. The vision in this auction is simply a car I
envisioned when I first saw a red Yenko Chevelle hardtop. I tried to make this model look exactly like what one
would have looked like if Don Yenko had made one in a convertible. I tried to place all the factory Chevrolet
Chevelle decals that came on a Yenko in the correct positions, and there are new Yenko emblems throughout the car.
I will explain everything I know about the car, and everything that was done to it. This Chevy had a running and
driving 350, but was not numbers matching, so a Big Block 427 is an awesome upgrade. It was stored on a finished
concrete floor in a heated garage until I made the trip to New York to bring it back to Wisconsin. This Chevelle
was last given an inspection in New York that expired on August 16th, 1995 from what I witnessed on a windshield
decal that was on this car when I made the purchase. Therefore, it has not been licensed for the last 20 years. As
soon as I got the Chevelle back in town it went right to my mechanics shop. The owner is one of my closest buddies
and was born with a wrench in his hand. He has been doing transmissions for over 40 years, and owned the shop where
the turbo hydromatic was completely rebuilt. Then all of the front and rear brakes were completely replaced
including all four wheel cylinders. The search for the proper 427 started nearly a decade ago. I finally found one
that had been sitting on a shelf for the last 20 years in the midst of an elderly gentleman's parts who was
liquidating his muscle car empire in a small town in between Sheboyagan and Manitowoc, Wisconsin. This Big Block
427 engine was freshly rebuilt from top to bottom, and the carburetor was just rebuilt last month when the engine
was installed. The carburetor is a Holley 800 Double Pumper with all new fuel lines, and a new fuel pump. There is
a new air cleaner and new PCV valve. There are new intake manifold gaskets, new exhaust manifold gaskets, new valve
cover gaskets, and a new water pump with new gaskets. I've never seen a drop of anything under this car. There is a
new 4-core radiator for maximum cooling with new upper and lower radiator hoses. There is all new anti-freeze, and
the engine has a fresh oil change with a new oil filter. Needless to say, this engine will need to be broken in
like a brand new car, so the new owner will need to have a light foot for the first 500 miles. There is a new
temperature sending unit, and a new oil pressure switch. The engine was nicely detailed before it was put in place
with new Big Block motor mounts. There are brand new wipers with a new washer fluid container. This Big Block 427
has new spark plugs, and new Accel Hi-Temp Super Stock Spiral Core 8mm high performance wires for maximum spark.
This engine has electronic ignition for easy starting. It fires right up and sounds awesome with upgraded 2 1/2"
inch pipes with the H-pipe for maximum exhaust flow. It really does sound incredible with dual flowmasters, and the
correct 1969 chrome exhaust tips. The body was in really good condition considering the age of this Chevelle.
Although it did need a small patch on the
