It is missing the gauges. Not sure that means anything.

Vin says it is just a Malibu, not an SS.

SS should be a 138 code his is a 136.

69s dont have a 138 code. That stopped in 68. Looks like a nice convertible.

I think Andy was thinking about buying another 69 vert that was done because the one in hid garage he took apart in not going to be done till 2020
The car in the picture also has the correct rag joint on it.

why are you posting instead of working on your convertible, Braddish?

get to work I'm gunna be done before you if you aren't careful

It would be nice if they put a pic of the cowl tag up.

I don't see anything to indicate it isn't an SS. As Brad pointed out, it has the "Big Block" intermediate shaft which is a detail most cloners don't get right. Gauges were an option, even on an SS, so that doesn't mean anything.

Looks like a nice car.

It doesn't. Gauges (RPO U14) were optional even on SS cars. They were not part of the base SS396 cars from 66-68 nor were they part of the SS option from 69-72. In fact, gauges could be ordered on any 66-72 Malibu V8 coupe/convertible/sedan pickup - no SS needed.

I've seen the bolt on type flange on the steering column on non-SS 69 Chevelles as well (a 307 300 Deluxe series Chevelle comes to mind), FWIW.

That very same car was for sale on this site FOREVER, although at that time it was a private owner selling his wife's car.

Buy it Andy, you can drive it home. I saw a '69 ss vert (blue and white) in PCB Fla this past week and thought of you. Looks good.

Jason,

Are you sure it's the same car? I know there was one the same color combo, from TN, but I am thinking it had add-on in dash air conditioning. The one I'm thinking of was in TX a number of years ago before it went to TN.

JK is the 396/325HP TH400. Notice the Heat riser remains on the original manifold. If the TH400 is properly VIN stamped along with the Block, it is no doubt an original SS car.

A look at the fonts on the trans/ engine and "L" on the cowl tag should make this an easy verification as there were no 396/TH400 applications available in non SS cars in 69.
