Hey guys, welcome back to Vanguard Motor Sales.
I'm Greg, and this is a 1969 Chevelle.
There's a big block under the hood.
It's a 454.
She's hooked up to a turbo 400,
which is the three-speed automatic.
She is absolutely beautiful.
Bottom side of this car is all cleaned up,
painted, looking gorgeous.
And we're gonna show you all that in the video.
So stick with us till the end.
We're gonna get it out and drive it.
Under the hood is absolutely beautiful also.
Got power steering, power brakes, 454 power.
Now I know it's badged as a 396,
but she does have a 454 block in her.
Checked out the casting number myself.
We got beautiful chrome up here.
As you look down the side, she is just as slick as can be.
Tell you what, the guy that did the body work
did a beautiful job, man.
I look at a lot of cars every day.
Somebody spent a lot of time blocking this baby out.
All the body lines also line up nice.
The gaps look good.
Everything's lined up, looking beautiful.
That black stripe going on the side
really accents that orange paint.
Of course, the wheel and tire combo is killer for this car.
You can see the door jamb's just as clean
as the rest of the car.
Door panel looks like it's brand new.
I love the skinny steering wheel,
the horseshoe shifter, the bucket seats.
Now we've got three seat belts in the back,
which would have been great
because I had three little boys at one time
and they rode around in the back seat of my car
with no seat belt on.
Headliner looks good, dome lights working.
The dash itself is in beautiful shape.
Looks all stock in there.
Absolutely gorgeous.
Looks like that's an aftermarket radio in there also.
The carpeting looks like it's brand new.
Of course, there's seat belts up front also.
She is one beautiful machine, 1969.
My hot rod's a 1969, it's just not a Chevy.
Of course, I got nothing against Chevy,
especially one this pretty.
Man, look at the trunk.
Looks brand new in there.
We got the spare tire in there.
I always lift up the mat, see what's going on.
Look how nice that trunk floor looks.
Man, somebody spent a lot of time restoring this baby.
Then you can see the whole gutter system
around the trunk opening, also looking beautiful.
The rubber's been replaced.
The paintwork on the bottom side of the deck lid,
also looking beautiful.
Somebody spent a lot of time and a lot of money
restoring this baby.
You can see all the emblems look new.
The trims around the taillights look new.
Chrome on the back bumper, also looking new.
And as you look from the back,
you can really get a good look at the stance.
Like when I was in high school, this was the stance, baby.
Jacked up in the back, bigger tire on the back
than in the front.
Got those skinnies.
Now this passenger door fits just as nice
as the driver's door.
She's lined up with the quarter and the front fender,
and she's nice and straight.

and see what's going on out there.
Now we're right here in the Motor City,
so we've got great facilities for working on old cars.
You know, this is where they were all born.
Now we've got 25 lifts in here,
15 full-time mechanics checking stuff out.
And then about two miles from here is our main showroom
where there's over 150 cars there.
So we own all of our inventory here at Vanguard.
We don't do any consignment whatsoever.
And a lot of people ask us,
where do we find all these awesome cars?
Well, we're hopping on airplanes, getting in cars,
driving thousands of miles,
getting on our hands and knees with flashlights,
checking out the bottoms of cars.
We're checking them out top, bottom, inside and out.
We're really picky about every car that we buy.
The paint, the chrome, the underside, the suspension,
the motor, the interior.

the mechanics fully inspect every one of the cars

69 Chevelle time, baby.
