I Bought the Cheapest 69 Chevy Chevelle SS in the USA! 1500 Mile Drive California to OKC! 

69 Chevrolet 396 SS sold today at Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach for $87,000.

Absolutely the nicest car you’ve ever purchased. A true American classic muscle car. I wouldn’t change a single thing! Put some nice radials on her but please do NOT put some ugly, oversized, “modern” wheels on it. Those original SS Rally wheels are awesome and make that car look classic. Chances are the shift linkage bushings are worn or simply out of adjustment. Very simple fix. Congrats on the excellent purchase! I had an original ‘70 SS 396 in high school and I loved that car!

This is not only the 1969 Chevelle this is the true muscle car and chick magnet for that year

Careful with your new ride looks great u and Mike make a good road team, great video also👍👍

Would strongly recommend switching from the stock Muncie shifter to a hurst shifter. Would be one of the best things for that car I can promise you that

Randy, ignore the haters. You have more positive people on your channel than to waste your time otherwise.

Great Video Randy, That ‘69 396 Chevelle Is A Beauty, Good Seeing You and Mike Made It Back Safely..

I have to say this : in 1969 , I was heavy into Muscle cars ! That Chevelle (in it’s day , & the roof is on the option list ) was likely bought new by a 35 yr. old settled down hot rodder ! Vinyl roofs were old guys cars, no young active gear head would have one ! The colour & stripe comes from the “Wenco” rare option ! That was the day when muscle cars were everywhere , and then us young guys had no idea the cars we drove & raced would cost 60-80K today ! 1969 Hemi Road Runner was &5,200.00 , 340 Dart Swinger @ $2,900.00 ! Etc.

My first car was a '66 Malibu 327 4-speed so I have a soft spot for that year. But truthfully any Chevelle up until 1972 is OK with me. This '69 is a gem, Randy. I hope you enjoy it brother.

Was waiting for this video, well worth the wait. Awesome car randy

My favourite videos!! Absolutely love watching these road trips! Use to do em myself from Scottsdale AZ to Toronto Canada more than a dozen times

Awesome video as always can't wait to see where you and Mike go next and pick up still wished you got that charger but that ss is sweet

My dream car is a 69 Malibu COPO. Same color as this, but with no stripes, a black vinyl top, a L72 427 bbc, and an M22. Which was rated at 425 hp (in reality closer to 450 hp). You found an amazing deal Bud. Gorgeous car!

Randy is one step closer to his dream....MWM is over the moon driving the Panamera back to Oklahoma with you....you guys will reach a new heights with the half a decade and modern automobiles.. an enriching experience by far....regards from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia....

Awesome video randy been waiting for this one

Been watching on you tube for some time, love what you do.I did pretty much the same thing about 40 years ago a lot of fun and work. Thank you.

Just subscribed to both of your Chanelle's. Can't wait to see the chevelle come back from detail. I would have bought that chevelle. I have bought a few cars on Ebay and have had great luck. You got a hell of a deal on the chevelle.

Seeing the Chevelle stomp the Porsches ass by itself was worth watching the video for

Great purchase! I have a '69 SS just like that and a '72 SS 454. Both cars have the Muncie shifter and they both scrape the plastic insert in the console. You are not alone.

I love these videos with you and Mike.

I had to laugh when you mentioned the "tires problem". I purchased a 1977 Trans Am out in Tucson AZ back in 1984, it came with cheap bias-ply power cat tires and when I drove it, it did the same thing was like trying to steer a train off the tracks, I put new BF Goodrich Radial TA's on it, and it drove like a new car. Still have the car, it is like new and the wife drives it every summer, great Chevelle content, gotta love it.

Nice cars! Being an old fart and having to deal with 4 speeds in my cars. Your problem with 1st and 2nd may be linkage adjustment. But don’t keep driving it an letting it pop out of gear. You will just ware off the teeth and have to replace the gears or transmission. At any rate the SS is a great car. Nothing wrong with old school.

Great video, man!!! Happy Birthday, MWM!!!

That car is a beasttt 🤘🏽🔥 congratulations Randy 😀

awesome! now keep this car you can rebuild that 4 spd yourself easily for under 600. glad you finally bought a good car

I been waiting on this video.i enjoyed every minute of it. Keep em comin.😎

You and Monkey wrench make a good team Randy 🙈🙈👍👍 safe travels. That Chevy is awesome. Excellent purchase 👍👍

Proud of you bro.. enjoyed this one.. the Porsche is my next dream car.. !!!

Thank You for the Video 💯 Can't Wait for the Next One!!

Price is high but awesome car especially when fixed up. And it's nice to see it saved. Can't wait to see it cleaned up.

Super cool car. Looking forward to more videos with it.

Radial tires, they are not a joke. Nice video and best of luck with your new Chevelle SS 396. This engine is prone to breaking rocker arms (or they were back in the mid 70's, part material may have improved) and the trailing arm rear suspension will pull apart after repeated hole shots. I switched to Mopars years ago not because there was anything wrong with Chevrolet other than EVERYBODY has one.

Beautiful SS 69 chevelle! My favorite color on the 69s and that code 72 monoco orange is only on SS so even without docs u know u have an official ss chevelle! Beautiful color combo! Im picking my 71 chevelle up from my buddies shop today i cant wait to film sum content as well.

Congrats Randy on saving the 69 Chevy and making the 1500 miles home. Very Cool Chevy.. lv the video.

When I went through my first transmission I found a super T 10 That was such an awesome transformation I never had a bit of problem with it and I raced it every week awesome transformation

Happy (belated) Birthday Mike!!!🎂

Great job! Cool airplane video and music!

Love your videos

Good Video Randy and Mike Love The Car Nice Ride Major upgrade for a Car Show

Yes! The video I’ve been waiting for it finally up!

Having fun watching this on June, 2, 2022. You both are great!

Absolutely beautiful I love all of the stickers and tags that are on the car that Muncie might need adjusted but it's probably gonna need rebuilt, that 396 probably is done at 5k rpm it's a big block.

The orange paint with the off white interior is awesome on this 69. The car is a beauty and I would buy it in a second. I have a 69 Malibu from Tennessee that I have owned for 37 years. My family has also owned 3 other 69 Chevelles. One 396, one 350 and another 307. The 69 is my favorite year of Chevelle. I can’t wait for you to have it detailed back in Oklahoma. The only thing I see is wrong in the interior buttons. They should be round, but other than that she looks great. Enjoy it Randy.

Happy Birthday Mike!!!

Absolutely Amazing!

Randy and Mike great video! Two great vehicles for the channel can’t wait to see more content!! Happy Birthday Monkey Wrench Mike! Stay blessed!!

Those tires are probably exact replicas made by Coker Tire in Chattanooga, TN.

Loving every minute of it! Thanks for the content Randy

Awesome cars and vid! You’ve taken it to the next level for 2022 Randy. The 69 Chevelle is my favorite car you’ve ever had.

If that’s the original numbers matching trans you would be better served to get it rebuilt. You could add a Gear Vendors overdrive unit and the car becomes instantly more drivable. It effectively becomes an 8 speed because it adds a gear between each gear. That would be great content as well.

Happy Birthday. I'm a chevelle lover, I'm on my 3rd one. 70ss elcamino 64ss Malibu and 66 Malibu 4dr. Love them all.

Great aerial video footage, thank you.

Randy , I’ve watched 4-5 of your videos , just subscribed, the Chevelle did it. Buy & drive takes nerve ! Some $ to spend , but a keeper . From a car guy that has a motto , never fall in love with anything with an ownership ! Owned over 200 cars in my life, and at least 30 keepers ! Don’t own them anymore ! Have fun while you can !

There's an old song, I believe it was " Little Nash Rambler.. "with the lyric "Hey buddy How do I get this car out of second gear?"

Loved the intro to the video Randy ✈ 👍

Wow, great video, and congrats on your recent purchase. Back in 1976, I owned a '68 SS396 Chevelle, triple black (black paint, vinyl roof, and interior). I had the same dash layout (except my tach was in the center, and was a vertical ribbon-style). I had the same steering wheel, and console. The most annoying thing was how hot the chrome shift knob and steering wheel would get after leaving the car out in the sun. I soon learned to drape towels over them! Good thing that you removed the plastic "slider" that covered the shift well. It was prone to vibrate at any speed over 50 mph in my car, and it made a hell of a racket. The thing that got me was the poor mileage that you were getting initially. With 3.31 gears, I used to get 13 mpg during my daily commute (70% highway), and I once saw almost 14 on a long trip. Granted, I had the stock QJ on mine, and I drove it like a grandmother.

Been looking so forward to this

Why would someone bid the Chevelle to $ 39,750.00 but refuse to go another $ 250.00 and just buy it? Seems odd to me anyway great purchase Randy will be fun seeing you and the team make her perfect.

Nice pick up, seen this when I was picking up one of my cars.

Hay Randy, this Chevelle SS is so nice, this has to be one of the best road trips so far. I am really looking forward to more videos with this car soon. Hope you both had an amazing trip, it looked amazing

Happy Birthday Mike 🎂 🥳

🥳🥳always excited for the videos

Sounds like the syncros for first and second are nearly gone in your transmission.. You will have to check for a trans leak or a rear end leak or rear main seal leak. You need to pull it and have it rebuilt. Bias ply tires will do what you have going on.. Switch to some Radials and radial shocks and it will be nice and smooth driving.

hi from uk randy and MRM 👋👍41:50 and 41:55 my heart melted at the door sound💓 love a old door shut noise its it says a lot lol I said it in MRM live feed and in the recent bmw upload on interior he goin to do some door shuts for me soon 👍👌 lol cant wait to see whats next coming randy👍 thanks for your time be safe and see you soon 👍👋

Nice find👍I was very blessed on my 18th birthday/graduation gift..My father gave me numbers matching 1970 Chevelle SS all original with a 454 (LS6) I've had it for 33 yrs now he bought it new in 1970 (year I was born) from the dealership.. Have all the paperwork even original invoice..The car has a few miles over 97,000 miles.. Been garaged kept every year..Had offers of over $70,000..But I would never sell it..My son turns 18 next year & I have been debating on giving it to him like his grandfather had given me..

The sixty-nine Chevelle is the car that I always wanted. My cousin had one and I fell in love with raw power. yours is beautiful and I would love to get a ride in it. I am in Georgia in a nursing home and miss being able to have a car to run around in.

Randy hello from Eddy in Myrtle Beach Sc! Love your brothers videos and will continue to support U ! I have watched every single one u have posted even in the Uber days ! Take care and keep ‘em coming ! Take care brother !

With the transmission getting stuck in 2nd gear, then popping out of 1st, I would take a look at the linkage under the car. It may just need adjustment. By the looks of the car & the information you have shared, it seems like the car was restored, sold at Mecham & then just sat for the most part. So it probably just needs driven and have the kinks worked out of it. Beautiful Car, '69 is By Far my Favorite year of Chevelle!!!

Yessss I have been waiting all week for this yay

THAT,S A NICE CHEVELLE RANDY LOVE IT GREAT VIDEO THANK YOU AND MIKE

I'm a Mopar guy but that is one nice Chevelle! I love that color, good buy!

Simply awesome, nice job!

DUDE........Nice Whip!!! Keep post coming. REALLY enjoy watching your content!!! AJ...Little Rock AR

All the symptoms of input shaft bearing being bad in a Muncie 🌘🌒 Thanks for sharing Randy

Happy Birthday Mike, My birthday is on April 9th, yeahhhh 🤘🏽🔥

Hi Randy love the car. I want to see that Chevelle at some local Car shows OKC!!! hands down one of the best cars you purchased!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE

69 Chevelle one of my favorite. Great pic 4 speed is a plus. nice job

If that muncie is popping out of gear and needs rebuilt but you also want some more top end speed then it sounds like a tko 5 speed with o/d might be a fun upgrade 🤔

I had the exact same problem with my 69 SS. I finally put in a Muncie 220 Rockcrusher and the problem was solved !

I love your content

The beauty of the Chevelle is how much fun it is to drive. It is simply more fun than other cars.

Love the car awesome ride

Happy birthday Monkey Wrench Mike 🎂🎂

This is the right content I love this monster

Sound and video quality is 👍

Way to step it bro love this car.

Remflex header gaskets. Get them. Never have a blow out again. Linkage needs to be adjusted on that trans. Ac is probably empty. Find the leak and get r-12. It can be found. The condenser was designed for 12 and not 134a.

My 69 Camero Z-28 was the same color with black stripes. Love the Chevelle.

My father imported his mustang 66 from California by a company to France in 1996 still original paint

Nice Chevelle , and great video bud .

Nice car… I dream of doing long road trips like this in fun cars by my self or with a friend and it seems like you are doing it every other month lol. Keep it up!

Thanks for taking us along for the ride. After spending that kind of money, I’m surprised you wouldn’t have a shop change all the fluids and put some decent tires on it before taking it cross-country.

Excellent video kép them coming... Sooners!!!!!

Nice car! Good buy!

I think you mentioned you might be able to get some documents for the car. PUSH for that as having documents for the car proving authenticity Is HUGE for resale. Also if you choose to take anything off or out of the car (like tires/wheels) be sure to keep it all!!

Beautiful car my friend

Looks awesome randy 👌

Thanks for posting this video. You always have great content. And your friend Mike is always a great addition to your channel. Love what you do. Keep up the good work. From Ontario Canada.

Happy birthday Mike! Tranny issue sounds like it might be either a shifter rod needing adjustment or could be a bad slider.
