    Yes, this is the real deal. Right here is an authentic 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS L78. Billed by Chevrolet as "America's Most popular Midsize Car", the 1969 Chevelles were only slightly different than the previous 1968 models, mostly shown through a different grille and taillight design. No longer a series of its own, the SS 396 turned into a $347.60 option package for any two-door model. The SS 396 could be had with different variations of the same engine making different amounts of power, 325, 350, and 375 respectively. The most powerful variant that could be fit into a Chevelle from the factory was the L78 396, the option making 375hp stock. This Chevelle is one of the very few fitted with the L78 SS option. Part of that L78 SS396 package was the F41 heavy-duty suspension. The F41 used firm springs, a large stabilizer bar and firm shocks up front, along with a four-link coil spring rear configuration. The rear lower control arms were held together by a plate welded across the sides for reinforcement. The upper arms were even braced to handle the massive torque of the L78. This is an extremely special car, fitted with the numbers-matching L78 396 C.I. V8 good for 375hp and 415lb-ft of torque. The car breathes through a factory-spec Holley 4-barrel carburetor, letting the monstrous 396 get the air it needs to really haul. All that power is taken to the rear wheels through a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission paired to a 12-bolt rear axle. Options on this menacing Chevelle include factory gauges, a working clock, a factory AM/FM radio (that works!), power steering, brakes, and wipers, a heater, a rear defroster, and a dual exhaust system. It rides on a set of sweet factory-spec SS wheels on top of some impressive Coker redline tires. The black vinyl bench seats as well as the interior are very comfortable and look great matching the car's stunning black paint with red pinstriping. This car is absolutely incredible, a true sight to behold among Chevelles. It is now waiting here, itching to be taken to win another 1st place trophy at your next car show.

    Gorgeous!!! I'm glad it has the correct striping and red lines. I can't stand it when people put the hood and deck stripes on these. I guess because I remember them when they were new.

    1992-2022=30yrs. And in 69 you could get A COPO 427 Chevelle! Little MORE HP than 375, not to Mention the ZL-1 Camaro COPO's.
