Get it bought and then share more pics.  I think it's neat!  I'm not real knowledgeable on them but I've never seen a 4-door L72.

Thanks for all the input and info about this car, i could share more about it but one of the members here went out of his way to locate it in an attempt to purchase even though i had interest in it. I learned from this that i should  not  be so revealing with the info about future finds. In the event that i wind up with it i plan to do a simple restoring just because i think it would be cool to have.
Not surprising. There are a lot of snakes in this hobby who would throw your mother under bus while you watched so they could acquire a car or part. They are not in this as hobby, it's just a business to them.
Go get the car.

That's disappointing and, sadly, like Sauron says, not surprising. I hope whoever it was didn't screw up the deal for you.
I also hope you can still grab it and share more.

The 400 turbo should be a CX. That could be a deal maker if it is. They are rare and kick A##.

There were two high-performance versions of the TH400 for 1969: CX for Camaro, Chevelle & Nova CY for Corvette and B body.

Must be short-shaft/long-shaft as the case assemblies have different part numbers.
Learning more and more about less and less...

I really don't care who it was. It wasn't me.

But if this car does sell, I would like to know more about it. I would really have wanted to try for it, but the timing is wrong for any more projects at this time and I don't have room.  But Burnished Brown is a REALLY good color.

I just hope the engine and the CY coded transmission stay with the car!

I concur with X77 on this one....  but it would likely very much embarrass the offender... although I personally doubt any of our 'regulars' would do this...

Neat car, I had a 425hp Biscayne a while back. If you decide to pass please let us know, deserves restoring!

"Loose lips sink ships"......"and a closed trap won't let out the catch" (that second one is my own line by the way). Go get it and let us know the outcome!
