Did GM only offer this option for three years? I was looking at the sites RPO codes and the lock was offered for 65, 66, and 67'
Is this correct?
Joe

it was a dealer option

If memory serves... RPO for 66, dealer option for 67.

Never knew about this thing. Anybody got a picture?

My web site shows a photo of mine under the EXTERIOR Dropdown menu ;)

Weird :eek:

Next question - was the lock activated by the regular car keys or a separate key?

Sep. Key and a very cheesy key :yes: The entire concept was/is a joke :D

Factory option in 1965 (http://www.chevellestuff.com/1965/options_by_model.htm) & 1966 (http://www.chevellestuff.com/1966/options_by_model.htm). RPO P19 sold 264 units in 1965 and 2101 units in 1966. No listings thereafter.

The one I have takes a GM key, I'd get a pic but I can't find it.

Heres a pic as you can see it has a round GM key.

According to my information there WAS a 1967 Chevelle that rolled off the line with a factory installed spare tire lock. The same day my Chevelle was built, V.I.N. 136677106071, a ’67 Malibu convertible, was completed December 15, 1966 & shipped the next day. The car was C-code Provincial White (Ermine white was called Provincial White in Canada) with a 723-code Bright Blue all vinyl bench seat interior, 12-code medium blue convertible top. It was a 283 Powerglide car with manual steering & brakes.

RPOs as follows:

A02 (tinted windshield),
A39 (deluxe seat belts),
C06 (power top),
F40 (h.d. suspension),
K05 (block heater),
M35 (Powerglide),
P02 (wire wheel covers),
P32 (spare tire lock),
P61 (7.75-14 whitewall nylon 2ply / 4ply rating tires),
U63 (pushbutton AM radio).

I have also seen GM documentation that showed RPO N05 (locking gas cap) on a 1967 Beaumont (that means Chevelles offered them as well since they came down the line one after the other).
