texastornado Mar 13th, 04, 11:57 PM I'm new to Chevelles, just bought a possible 69 SS/396 car, trying to figure out from clues what the car was from the factory. Does a yellow sticker on the rear coil spring with a BE on it mean anything significant? Thanks for the help.......JS 72SSAbody Mar 15th, 04, 9:07 AM That's just the spring tag. Different codes mean different spring rates etc. You might try posting over in the restoration forums to ID what code means what info graemlins/beers.gif Joe Tom's 68 Mar 15th, 04, 8:02 PM one quick way are there two lines going to the fuel pump (probably real) then if rear quarters are original do the have holes that may have been welded shut where malibu was mounted (if so a clone) many other things to check since SS was an option in 69 it will require a lot more though to be sure texastornado Mar 15th, 04, 8:15 PM It does have the two fuel lines, front disk brakes with proportioning valve, SS hood, all the correct eblems in the interior, not sure about the holes in the quarter panel, all indications so far are it's real. smile.gif Tom's 68 Mar 16th, 04, 7:37 AM another quick check is the front parking lights are they surrounded by stainless either way the two fuel lines are for either a 325 or 350 horse 396 i don't think any other engines used this setup texastornado Mar 16th, 04, 10:24 AM Yes, it has the stainless around the parking lights, you could only get that on the SS??? Tom's 68 Mar 16th, 04, 7:51 PM sounds like a lot of the right stuff call chevy 1-800-222-1020 give them your vin and ask them to mail you a restoration packet there is a lot of info in there last one i got was free but rumor has it there is a small fee now (doubt if it could be much though) texastornado Mar 16th, 04, 7:57 PM Excuse my ignorance, but I assumed that Chevelles were just like Camaros, and there were no records available from GM to verify authenticity, unless they were built in Canada. Are you telling me I can call this number, and by the VIN#, they can basically tell me how my car came off the assembly line?

No, but they will send you a thick packet with all kinds of neat info about your model year. I have one. What is the color code for your car? texastornado Mar 17th, 04, 9:36 PM 61 E??
