all the right stuff but, most importantly, has KAN - L- Code on the
trim tag, assembled in the Kansas plant as a true Chevelle Super

color change to very desirable black by a previous owner and looks
amazing. We wet sanded and polished the paint to a mirror finish
and it looks great. Very nice factory bucket interior with center

steering wheel for that black on black muscle car combination. This

Chevelle is a mid-size automobile which was produced by Chevrolet
in three generations for the 1964 through 1977 model years. Part of
the General Motors (GM) A-Body platform, the Chevelle was one of
Chevrolet's most successful nameplates. Body styles include coupes,
sedans, convertibles and station wagons. Super Sport versions were
produced through the 1973 model year, and Lagunas from 1973 through
1976. After a four-year absence, the El Camino was reintroduced as
part of the new Chevelle lineup in 1964. The Chevelle also provided
the platform for the Monte Carlo introduced in 1970. The Malibu,
the top of the line model through 1972, completely replaced the
Chevelle nameplate for the redesigned, downsized 1978 model
year.""1969 Chevelles were billed as "America's most popular
mid-size car." They showed only minor changes for 1969, led by
revised front-end styling. A single chrome bar connected quad
headlights (which became a familiar Chevrolet trademark with its
concurrent light duty pickup trucks) with a revised front grille,
now cast in ABS plastic, and a slotted bumper held the parking
lights. Taillight lenses were larger and more vertical, flowing
into the quarter panels. Smaller side marker lighting bezels were
phased in (shared with the Camaro and using the lens assembly as
the previous year). Front vent windows (hardtop and convertibles
only) began to fade away now that Astro Ventilation (first
introduced on the 1966 Buick Riviera which was used a year earlier
on the Camaro and Caprice) was sending outside air into several
Chevelle models. The Chevelle lineup slimmed down to Nomad, 300
Deluxe/Greenbrier, Malibu/Concours, and Concours Estate series, and
the base 300 series was history. No longer a series of its own, the
SS 396 turned into a $347.60 option package for any two-door model.
That meant not just a convertible, sport coupe, or pickup, but even
the pillared coupe and sport coupe in the lower-rent 300 Deluxe
series (except the base 300 Deluxe El Camino pickup). Fewer
SS396-optioned 300 Deluxe coupes and sport coupes were built than
their Malibu counterparts and they are solid gold for collectors.
The Super Sport option included a 325-horsepower 396-cubic-inch V8
beneath a double-domed hood, along with a black-out grille
displaying an SS emblem and a black rear panel. More potent
editions of the 396 engine also made the options list, developing
350 or 375 horsepower (280
kW). All SS396s produced from this point on shared the same VIN
prefix with the Malibu sport coupe (136) where the original
buildsheet and/or Protect-O-Plate (which is an aluminum tag
included with the original sales invoice from Chevrolet dealers)
can ID a genuine SS (especially for a numbers matching original
which is unaltered). Around an estimated 323 Chevelle 2-door
hardtops were fitted with an L72 427 cu in (7.0 L) rated at 425
bhp (431
PS; 317
kW) at 5,800 rpm and 460
lb #8901;ft (624
N #8901;m) at 4,000 rpm of torque, where some Chevrolet dealers
used the Central Office Production Order (this also included some
Camaros and Novas of the same model year) - some COPOs were sold
through select Chevrolet dealerships and out of the 323 COPO
orders, a confirmed 99 were sold through the Yenko Chevrolet
dealership in Canonsburg, PA. During the 1969 model year a police
package (RPO B07) was available on the Chevelle 300 Deluxe 4-door
sedan where some were optioned with the RPO L35 (396) motor along
with a boxed frame (also shared with fleet orders e.g. taxicabs and
rental cars); at the time the police option was reintroduced since
the 1964/65 model years (at the time midsize squads came with
economy powertrain usually in the case of the Chevelle a third
generation Chevrolet inline six. The 300 Deluxe squads was not a
sales success since the market was dominated by rival manufacturer
Chrysler Corporation where its B platform (and its full sized
sedans) outsold its competitors. Chevelle station wagons came in
three levels: Concours, Nomad, and Greenbrierthe last a badge
formerly used on the Corvair van. A new dual-action tailgate
operated either in the traditional manner or as a panel-type door.
Wagons stretched 208 inches (5,300
mm) overall versus 197 inches (5,000
mm) for coupes. Also the Concours option package (ZK5, ZK6, and
ZK7) from the previous year was continued. New round instrument
pods replaced the former linear layout. Chevelle options included
headlight washers, power windows and locks, and a rear defroster.
Chevy's midsize production rose this year. About seven percent of
all Malibus had a six-cylinder engine, while about 86,000 came with
the SS 396 option. All 1969 Chevelles had a new locking steering
column. one year ahead of the Federal requirement, and headrests
required for all cars sold in the U.S. after January 1,
1969."American Dream Machines
