Definitely interesting!
Be fun to drive that around.
Wonder how long they have to wait to get that price?

Price is a bit high for a station wagon, even with those options!

Probably put together.
I believe that all L48 cars (300hp 350) came with power disc brakes. 12 bolt would be standard with L48 also.
This one doesn't have power brakes and probably doesn't have disc brakes.

L48 did NOT require the J50/J52 Power Disc Brakes.
They were available, as they were a RPO, but were only required on the SS 396 equipped cars.
The J50 power brake booster was also an RPO available w/ all Chevelles.
The 8.875 HD ring gear (aka 12 bolt) was part of the included L48 engine package.
It would have had a 3.31:1 ratio standard w/ the RPO M20 4 speed.
All info per the 1969 Feature & Spec. Man.

makes sense

I have a 69 L48 car and it's original all #'s match.
I thought the disc brakes came with the L48 all these years. wasn't positive though.

So I guess my Malibu is pretty well optioned.

tilt
TH350
12 bolt 2:56 ( I know 12 bolt not an option on L48) But the ratio is. I think they called it the "economy" gear. I know I can pace small airplanes.
Not bad for a buttnut yellow car with Parchment interior !;)

I guess that is similar to what my dad bought new in 70. His was a 70, but had the 350/300, 4 speed, 12 bolt and it had front disk brakes. I don't know if they were manual or power though. His was the Greenbriar model. I always thought it was an odd combo for a station wagon.
