Default Nice rear end for 69....


So here you go...I saw it right off,
for a 69 what is a wrong about the rear end?



Found it on fleabay and here it is for those who want more project than I do,
Even if I had interest Florida will NOT title a car with bill of sale only, to do that in FL the car must come from a no title state and be registered in the sellers name or FL sees it as parts.
Or save a pile of headaches and only buy a car with a title.

I didn't know a late batwing would just bolt in to the older years...

That is the oddball yet cool looking 80-82 rear carrier..."bat wing"



I wonder if people did mod the early frame for that rear OR is the entire frame 80-82?

You can add the batwing to the 69 frame.W/the condition of the car tho...it is probably a 69 tub w/wrong front clip sitting on a 80-82 frame.
I like the batwings look,but they don't hold up as well as the earlier setups.Horsepower was way down in those years,and not built as strong.If you add one of those to a strong SB,or so-so BB...it is only a matter of time until it fails.
