Fantastic news Nick. Cant wait to see the car. Just a thought,is it possible you are the ONLY one in the nation that still owns the 69 425HP car that they bought brand new?

You know TRQ, that is probably a fact. A few years ago from Virginia, a guy posted on here that He bought a 1969 white sport coupe, with red interior, from a woman in Maine. The car is an L72 4 speed SS427 bought in Pa. from Reedman in Langhorne. It was stored after the Guy went to prison. He was thinking about selling the engine to a Corvette or Camaro or Chevelle owner. I lost touch with Him and hope He did not. I looked at the car on October 1968 in the showroom there before I received Mine. That is when the car was assembled. I not only ordered Mine, but saw it come off of the carrier on December 1968 at the Chevrolet dealership. I checked it in. NICK L72

It would be fun if anyone on this site has owned,or knows someone who still owns their 69 427 car and are the original owner's since new. Think about it Nick,,,you MAY in fact be the elusive "ONE OF ONE" on this website. OOOPS,,,sorry Irwin.

Re: Impala paint

My car is painted by J.D. Auto Restoration by His Son in His New paint booth. The shop is East of Philadelphia in Huntingdon Valley, PA. It is near 95. Original Le-Mans Blue with clear coat. Straighter and better than new. I still wish it was Laquer. The engine is together also. I will try to load the pictures. It looks awesome. Now all the assembly. The windshield from Hubbard Impala is on My Guest Bedrooms bed. NICK L72

Hey Nick ..."I still wish it was Lacquer" interesting you say that... Lots of the purist guys going back to using Lacquer over here now looking for that original old school factory paint job ... I'm a big fan of a Lacquer finish on these cars, having said that, Base-Coat-Clear-Coat looks great and is more practical and your car certainly looks to be getting a very professional job, looks great ... Cheers Glenn

I defiantly agree,,just cant duplicate that satin shine you get with lacquer,,total different look,,total different feel. True shiny texture,,not plastic dipped look. just finished my Biscayne,,base clear,looks good but, "It aint no lacquer job"
