Im currently looking at a 69 SS chevelle, the gauge pack does not have a tach or full gauges just idiot lights. It does have dual fuel lines from the front to the back of the vehicle. The Auto console seems kinda of jimmy rigged in over the years with many holes in the floor. Any tell tale signs???? Im at the place right now. Thanks

Did a quick search and found this

look for the following items.
1. correct front grille, fenders, parking lights and hood.

2. power front disk brakes

3. bolted rag joint

4. placement of ss and 396 emblems

5. check paint code for the yellow or orange( ss only)

6. if the sheet metal appears to be original check for the screw holes for the wheel opening trim

7. if factory tach look for proper redline.

8. look for 3/8" fuel line

9. if automatic look for switch over the gas pedal for kickdown for t-400 trans

10. look for all interior ss trim.

11. 12 bolt rear with support braces.

12. look for original glove box sticker for the tire size decal.

13. if the rear quarters look to have never been replaced look for where the malibu emblems would have had to have the holes filled.

14. pull the door opening vents and shine a flashlight down on the rocker panel. if the car originally had the rocker trim you should be able to see the holes.

while there is no concrete evidence with out paperwork, you can be reasonably certain that the car was on original ss. good luck mike

http://www.chevelles.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif Re: info 69 real ss or not


From what you suplied all I can tell you it is a Black Bucket Seats,(ie) 756, Hugger Orange (ie) Paint Code 72. Hugger Orange was Only available on a 69 Chevelle if it was an SS. So what you might have is 69 SS Chevelle Hugger Orange with Black Bucket Seat Interior. 136379K377857 is a V8 Malibu 2 Door Hardtop Built in Kansas City,(Leeds,MO Plant) in FEB or March. Should be a 02 or 03 followed by a letter,A,B,C,D or E. Should also have a L on the Trim Tag. Hope I helped.

Thats it I'm done, anybody else got anything?

Rob

What is your question - SS or not?

Gauges, console, bucket seats, fuel lines have nothing to do with it since they're an option on SS AND non SS cars

So True Dean

68L30, what were you doing at the car dealer in the middle of the night, unless it's a private party sale?

Private party sale. I bought the car. It had no trim holes for any malibu trim or emblems( I sanded areas that could have been filled). Just SS holes and the hood and all body panels were original. No build sheet behind rear seat. Black rear panel behind trunk. Cowl tag called for bucket seats in black and thats what it has.Defnitly original.LOL. I could tell the guages had been changed at some point in its life the portion where the idiot lights are was just hanging. Extra wires for what looked like actual gauge wiring. 3/8 fuel line. 12 bolt original. Not sure on gears though. I took the risk and bought it. Lots of money in the motor so well see. It will be a good driver for the girlfriend. Im 98% positive its an SS.

Congrats on the "new" 69. Lest see some pix!!!

awesome! you bought it for your girlfriend!!!!??? wow! thats awesome lets see it!

Ill get some pics in the next couple days. When he dropped it off he gave me the original ss wheel, ss dash emlems, and some paperwork from a long time ago showing it was always an ss. We got a great deal.

Congrats, 68L30, sounds like you did good. Put your name under your screen name, so we don't have to call you C3PO.:D
