I would be careful. It is difficult to tell if the frame is in good condition in the left rear. I just got done doing a frame off on a 69. you could easily spend 10s of thousands in repairs. It looks a little molested in the interior.

Ken, please give a follow-up when you can. Very interesting car. I hope it turns out OK for you.

A.I.R. system is missing.

Re: 1969 Black/red 435

I was all excited when I saw this car on it's first ebay round a month or two back(this is it's third round) until it was bid WAY out of my price range. My gut feeling is that it is a basically original car with a quick repaint a few years ago but needs restoration regardless.

This to me would put it in the 35K price range so I was out. The only reason I can think of for the higher price and still not selling is that it has docs(which may or may not be real) and the color combo. That is a stunning combo!!! .....but not worth paying THAT much more for......

Are the exception letters the same on 69 as the 67? At least I could check that much. Outside of having Al Grenning look at it I guess I am on my own.
To the other guy that thought the car was worth 35,000. From what I have seen you can't buy any 69/435 CONV. with any color combination & in descent condition for that money. Gust my opinion & pocketbook.

These are the two letters after the option # as in N14AA or BA. AA would be 2" pipe small block,BA would be 2.5" 427. on the build sheet.

Re: 1969 Black/red 435

All 69s had 2" exhaust pipes regardless of engine type. Not sure what the AA stands for.

GM installed 2" on the L88 also,

Every big block I have had have 2.5 exhaust. My two 70 LT-1"S have 2.5 also.

Re: 1969 Black/red 435

Sorry Ken but as far as I know 69 was the only year for that era where ALL engines(yes even the L88) had the 2" exhaust. 68 was 2-1/2" and 70 to??? was also 2-1/2" but 69 was only 2". I know it sounds funny but that's the way it was.

My 69 L36 had 2-1/2 " on it too but it wasn't original so it now has 2" to make it correct.
