Tom, My second 69 was near the same thing, except a white custom coupe,,green interior. Sat on the lot at the Chevy dealer I worked at for weeks on end,they couldn't give it away.40K original miles, drove and ran great, but a bear to drive with no PS or PB. I had a 70 SS454 with a rock crusher, needed a daily driver. I think I gave $650 bucks, backed the caster way down, and it drove good. Stuck in a 4:10 gear, new posi clutches and an LT-1 cam and springs, tuned the distributor and changed the metering rods, set of Rally wheels and Goodyear White Letter Polyglas GT's, already had factory duals,and oh yeah, pulled the smog pump and this was a great street car. Would run with the 396 Chevelles and 383 Road Runners, out run many of them. Ran it up to 7500 all the time. Hands down, one of my favorite cars ever,, party days, young and dumb. Love to find another 300/350 car like yours today.
