1967 SS396 Chevrolet Chevelle - Performance and Style

Exposition Repentigny Île Lebel QC

I've recently came across this style floor shifter and never realized it had been used in a 69 Chevelle but Yenko used it on a few of the automatic he did. I've seen a few threads on it on a few different forums but nothing more recent. I was wondering if anymore had installed this style before or had any better pictures than the few I've found. I am wanted in to change from a column shift to a floor shifter but don't really want to go the b&m style.

3 Speed Automatic

Installed an aftermarket Vintage Air evaporate kit. I'm hiding the heater hoses behind fender. Still nee to install condenser and fab lines.

As with the auctions held to break up the massive car collection of Bill Harrah at Reno and Las Vegas in the 1980s, the dissolution of the musclecar car collection of L.A. Times publisher Otis Chandler proved these personal collections are never successfully endowed to become long term museums open to the public… even the Petersen Museum is currently struggling.

Otis Chandler was old enough to have amassed his own number of supercars when they were new but when he was that age he was only interested in European cars… his hiring of a college professor to purchase and “curate” the collection was likely the first and only time academia took note of high performance automobiles.

These are photographs of Chandler’s collection taken around 1994, a period when he also had a Times photographer create a book about them. In that much of the collection involved Hemi-powered Chrysler products, many of you may recognize these cars and know where they reside now… at least temporarily.
