Check out the pedigree on this purdy '69.
I understand Elvis was once seen eating a bacon sandwich in the back seat.

Seems like a decent enough ole 69 and love that it was special ordered with the 455 instead of the standard tractor motor late 400. But there are certainly some alignment issues with the driver's front fender about something? Compare the trim rings for the headlights compared to the passenger side. Seems to be off about a 1/2" or more? Fixable though.
And I especially love this shot. Seems like they could have found a shop vac?
And here we have the crumpled tater chips and spilt beer stain on the floor mat where cousin Darrell, no the other Darrell, drunker un a skunker, took Tommy's car without askin, went un run it into a pole.

Great looking car. But 455 engines only came in the hurst/olds and the engines were painted red, not gold.
Ah, but this was a special order for the dealership. They just painted it gold to match the color scheme of the car. Supposedly have it documented. Need to leave this one for someone that can appreciate all that rich southern heritage anyway.
Besides, I think I have a '67 bought. Will leave it at that for now cuz I don't want to screw it up . . . should know by Monday!

Sorry, but I don't believe the dealer painted an engine. 
Olds painted engines different colors according to the displacement. Gold was a 350 if it's original. If you're looking at a 67, it will be 400 bronze.

"This 442 was bought brand new by Dale Earnhardt's brother, M L Earnhardt, on April 18,1969, in Concord, N.C"
Interesting, M L Earnhardt.....Dale's brothers were Danny and Randy according to the internet.
Things like this make it hard to believe anything these "dealers" say
Hoping you find the right car, without all the puffery!

You mean this color? Even has AC so I can get the wife in it. Has a damn Holley on it now but he still has the original. I don’t mind working on QJs. Too many people give up and just buy a Holley or Edelbrock.
Numbers matching 390925 I do believe.
But also waiting on some undercarriage and motor/transmission/rear end pics.
