I get to be around and drive some of the greatest custom builds on the planet, most of which are completely over the top in design, execution and cost. This is a different beast. The owner wanted to build a car that looked stock and original but had some obvious performance mods to make it a more enjoyable drive.
Galpin Auto Sports took this Chevelle and made it an incredible driving car. Looking at it you would swear it's stock but when you drive it you know it's better. By a long shot. Hotchkiss suspension. 4 wheel disc brakes. 396 swapped to a 454. 3 speed auto changed to a 4 speed auto with overdrive. Bench seat swapped for OEM buckets.
Come take a ride with me and check out the details of this beautiful 1969 Chevelle restored and upgraded by the guys at Galpin Auto Sports.

Galpin did a great job with this car. The color combo alone makes it cool and then you drive it. Very cool simple build.

Bro I love your attitude towards the old cars. They are meant to be driven I think some people forget that a car doesn't have to be perfect. In my opinion half of the adventure and emotion is in the build. I'm a new subscriber and I just want to say man youre doing a great job keep up the good work

Nice...just how I like them, American Muscle but nicely refined and you don't have to re mortgage the house, only thing I'd change is the white wheels for silver or polished but keeping with the rally style, it's only a personal thing. Thanks for sharing Shaun another great video 👍😎

Nice ride. I work down the street from G.A.S. and we also happen to work on Galpin's bay doors/gate access systems. I'm always glancing at what's in the parking lot when I drive by. Hoping to see one of the new Ford GT's being delivered or serviced.

Hey Nik...I still think it should sell pretty quickly. The white on red is such a traditional color combo for this car. I love the idea of black on red too but I really think this looks incredible. And I love that he went with the "steely" 17" wheels.

My 66 impala handles great in stock suspension form it has a 454 out of who knows what. This big boat hauls ass and hugs the road great. Not sure why it rides so nice. But it does. Interior sucks though. But the driving mechanics go tight and right.

Shawn, sorry but a 69 Chevelle IS NOT A UNIBODY.! It has a full frame. I should know, I have a 69 Chevelle Malibu. Owned it for 38 years. I'm the 3rd owner. Had a 307, 2brl carb, 2spd power glide transmission, 4 wheel drum brakes, manual steering. Changed to front disc brakes, 350 4 bolt main mild built engine and 350 trans, 3.08 rear stock gear. Time to change to a 327 engine, higher reving more power build in near future, and upgrade the rear end. The 4 coil , all stock suspension isn't bouncy as you say, but the bench seat needs to be upgraded to a more comfortable buckets. Driving it 14 hrs from Michigan to the Smokey Mtns. On a vacation was brutal on the back.! Lol. Mine is a driver, it has 156,000 miles on the car itself, about 37,000 miles on the motor and trans. It has parking lot dents and the Bodywork I did 36 years ago is coming through. But, I still get a 👍 up whenever I drive it., I'd love to do a complete makeover on it , but don't have the $100,000 figures most of your owners have . I know a guy who has a 69 Charger, spent $65k on restoration and now is afraid to drive it.! For fear he might get a stone chip in his $25000 paint job.!" That's not me.!
