Chevelle parts (not a Stang, but really nice car!)
 
Guys,

I have no idea where to start. My dad recently passed his 1969 Chevelle SS 396 to me and I want to get started on restoring it. Where can I find catalogs (Like Mustangs Unlimited, Dugan, LRS) to help me with parts. I've seen them out there.

Dang dood....'69 SS 396 huh....you lucky sob....Why can't anything cool like that happen to ME!!!

Paddockparts.com.....Year 1.....I think National Parts Depot makes GM catalogs too....maybe I'm confusing that with a different company.....hmmm.....

Couple ideas for ya though man....GOOD LUCK!!!

Just noticed you live in El Paso....my aunt is in the Army there....I don't know if it's at Fort Bragg or not....she's just about ready to become an (this is going to suck bad...) anesteasiologist...I KNOW that is incorrect spelling....but I suppose it's alright....

I used to have a '69 Chevelle Super Sport (with Astro ventalation!). That was such a fun car!!! My National Parts Depot catalogs just arrived last week, and included a new Chevelle/El Camino catalog filled with everything you could possibly need for next to nothing. Their toll free, 24 hour number near you is 1-800-874-7595. Call them up and request a free catalog.

Take care,

man chevelles are the sweetest car ever made
the 1970 LS6 is my dream car
its gotta have the 4spd though
all the ones i see on ebay or elsewhere are al th400 trans
now if only i could get the money

The 1970 Chevelle SS 454 LS6 is one of the coolest muscle cars of all time. But that's just my opinion.

6T9PONY 12-04-2001 01:06 AM

I agree tireburner....I really like the '69 and '70 Olds 442s too...My dad was telling me that he had a friend in high school that had one, with a 4-spd, but couldn't drive it at all. So whenever someone challenged him he'd have my dad drive it. My dad said that thing had some nugs....

I'd like to have one of each of those cars....that would be pretty nice....I'd probably be a pretty cool guy then....
