[Chevelle-list] 69 SS

[Trooper]

Mike,
  If the guy he bought the car from is a friend of the original owner. I would contact the original owner and see if he's sitting on any old paperwork.

  Tom, I haven't seen the data plate but the VIN has the letter G in it. 
  You guys have pretty much confirmed what I had told the owner. He says the man he bought it from was the second owner and that man was a friend of the original owner. Too bad nobody kept up with any paper work. He does have the original block (396).  It is unusable but the numbers are legible. He is only asking low twenties for the car and it is in good shape. I think he should just make anyone interested aware of what he does know and leave it at that.
  Thanks for your replies.

      Guys, I think I already know the answer but I'm asking for a friend. A buddy has a 69 SS, 396 four speed car. He wants to sell it but doesn't know how to verify that's it is a true SS.
      No build sheet, window sticker, original BOS etc. Is there anyway from the VIN or Data plate to verify it is an SS? Also the engine was changed at some point so numbers don't match. Anyway, I said I'd ask.

    No way to authenticate it without paperwork.  There are some tell tale signs, but it's nothing that can't be changed.  The rag joint coupler on the steering shaft is specific to big block cars.  It should have a 3/8" fuel line.  Also, what plant was the car built at?  This is out of my own curiosity.

    Tom
