Owners: Tim and Pam Wellborn • Wellborn Musclecar Museum
At the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals in Rosemont, IL, on November 17, 2023, a stunning gem was showcased: a restored beauty owned by Jim Nossel. He first purchased it in December 1972 as a high school senior, and has cherished it since. The car boasts original matching numbers L78 396 engine with 375 horsepower, and it underwent a complete frame-off rotisserie restoration that took six years. This restoration preserved many original components, including the carburetor, distributor, transmission, water pump, and glass.
The car’s exterior is a striking Azure turquoise, complemented by a rarely seen original factory-painted hard top in Dover white. The interior features a Parchment color with black carpets, creating a stylish and timeless aesthetic. The famous Hurst shifter and original eight-track player highlight the car’s vintage charm, while the original markings on the firewall and Goodyear Polyglas tires complete its authentic look. Auto World is excited to offer this 1969 Chevy Chevelle SS 396 for you to enjoy.
