Monaco Orange was a special color only available on the 69' SS396
models, and for an additional cost which was widely unheard of at
the time unless you were custom ordering a Cadillac. Due to that
up-charge very few were produced, especially in convertibles. Exact
production numbers are not available but a basic calculation of the
information that is available allows one to speculate that
somewhere around 100 Orange convertibles were built.
This 1969 Chevelle SS 396 Convertible represents the perfect blend
of performance, style, and open-air freedom. Whether youre looking
to add to your collection or simply want to enjoy top-down cruising
in one of the most desirable Chevelles ever built, this example
checks all the boxes.
