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, and a slotted bumper held the parking lights. Taillight lenses were larger and more vertical, flowing into the quarter panels. Front vent windows began to fade away now that Astro Ventilation was sending outside air into several Chevelle models. The Chevelle lineup slimmed down to two series: 300 Deluxe and Malibu. 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 or hardtop Sport Coupe, but even the pillared coupe in the lower-rent 300 Deluxe series. The Super Sport included a 325-horsepower 396-cubic-inch V-8 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. This particular car is finished in its correct Monaco Orange (code 72) with black bucket seats. It comes with the factory 4 speed Muncie transmission connected to the famous 396, 350 horsepower V8 under the hood. This is the correct, factory numbers matching correct drive train which performs flawlessly. Other options include factory A/C, power steering, power disc brakes, power windows, 12 bolt rear end and SS wheels wrapped with BF Goodrich T/A radial tires. The paint on the car is in excellent condition and is finished in its original color of Monaco Orange. Nicely accented with a black stripe, the car looks great and grabs everyone's attention. The front and rear chrome bumpers are both perfect with no imperfections. Both doors shut tight and with little effort as well as the trunk. All of the glass looks great with on chips or cracks that we have seen. Inside, the interior is finished in its correct color of black. Both bucket seats are in great condition with no wear to be found to either of them. The same goes for the rear bench seat. The dash is in great condition as well as the carpet, headliner and door panels. All appear to be new. There has been a rosewood steering wheel installed that is a very nice touch. This is a factory A/C car but the air is currently not blowing. Under the hood, the 396/350 hp 272 Block is very nicely detailed and connected to the factory 4 speed Muncie shifter. Clutch is good and the car goes through the gears with no problems. This is a power steering, power brake (front disc) car. The rear end is a 3.31:1 ratio Positraction Rear with a correct dated 12 bolt. On the road, the car has all the power you would expect from the big 396 V8. This is a great driving Chevelle that draws more attention then you could ever want at any cruise night or car show. VIN number is 136379B3552213.
