Originality / 69 ss/rs rag top

« on: January 26, 2007, 04:30:44 AM »

Hey Gang: Went to the Barrett-Jackson this last weekend and ran accross a 69 ss/rs convertable on sale. This car claimed to be a correct and freshly restored, which broght up a few questions in my mind. 1, Shouldn't a cowl hood ss car have the cowl hood air cleaner and such?,  Shouldn't a true ss car have the dual fuel lines? Just wondering if sombody got screwed paying $93,000 for a "recreation". Just curious

thanks Jerry

Originality / 69 SS determination

« on: January 09, 2006, 02:45:41 AM »

Hey All:  At the risk of beating a dead horse, I'll ask all of those on this site that seem to know. I just brought home a 69 SS 350 project car for my wife. After having read most of the Q/A on the web, I see that there is no proof that this car is an actual SS ( in my ignorance i thought there would be a number indication in the vin or the cowl tag). Unfortunatley there is no build sheet, original motor, etc. It does have power disc brakes, 5 leaf rear springs, cowl hood with the 28 coil spring hinges, 3/8 and 1/4 fuel lines, frame hanger for the dual exhaust, what appears to be a brake pressure regulator in the rear brake line, and unfortunatly a 10 bolt/posi.  The question is, What are the chances that this is a real SS and are there any other determining facts that will prove the pedigree or lack of.

Thanks in advance for all of the reat info
