    Thanks Steve for the info on the 402. I was a big fan back in the day, and never heard about that.

    Wow! Thanks Steve. I don't know why my algorithm didn't pick up this until today, since it says that it's been out for a few months? I still have my 1st car. A 69 Malibu that I bought when I turned 16 way back in 1990. Was a member of the N.O.C.A. ,and have attended Chevelle-O-Bration! Back in the early 90s. Was the youngest guy in my Central Ohio Chevelle Owners Association. 33yrs of (Keepin it Between the Ditches!)

    This was the BEST Chevelle ever, SS or not. I am not and have never been a Chevy guy, but this model Chevelle was tops.
    The front end styling, the big, mean looking brake lights in the rear fenders, the Coke bottle shape...nothing better in this class.

    Even though this was the best selling Chevrolet Chevelle SS; It would be a hard to choose between the 67,69, & the 70 if you could choose one only, & only one. The 69 had the most aggressive styling of the 3 IMHO.

    That blew me away concerning the engine displacement. I see a lawsuit in the future. "I bought this car because it had a 396. If I knew it was really a 402 I wouldn't have bought it" (something about higher insurance premiums).

      The information is wrong. All 69's had a 396. Only a very very few late in production may have had the .030 overbore. Very very rare. 1970 was the year the 396 + .030" overbore started.

    A great car! Nice color, too! Couldn't tell if it was a 375HP engine. Always liked the Muncie M20 and SS tach dash gauges. Don't see many like this one. Hope the person who gets it will really appreciate its rarity.

    Best Chevelle ever made. Best year. Best styling. A revised and way better 68. Excellent quality of components thruout.
    Steve, you're off 1 year with the 402 info. Very very few 402's used very lete in the 69 model year. Very rare. 1970 was the year the 396 was .030 over. The vast majority of the 69 models were true 396's. Not sure where you got your information but it is wrong

    the 396 was notorious for spining the crank bearings that may be the reason Chevy changed it a 402

      Nope,not so.
      It was late mfg date 69 chevelle ss396’s that we’re in fact 402’s & the 70 chevelle ss396’s we’re all 402’s from the start of their production.

      I've heard that those extra six inches were intended to get the displacement over 400 cubic inches, in order to be subject to less stringent emissions regulations.

    • @natew8882
      @natew8882 Рік тому

      You are correct. Only a handfull of 69's can be found with the overbore. Not even really worth mentioning. So few youll probably never see one.

    With the VIN (from the HOC website), we win: 1 for Chevrolet, 36 for Malibu V8, 37 for sport coupe, 9 for 1969 model year, B for Baltimore, MD assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The Baltimore plant operated from 1935 to 2005 and last assembled the Astro and Safari minivans.
    We got the tag, we can brag: ST69 for 1969 model year, 13637 for Chevrolet (1) Malibu (36) Sport Coupe (37) BAL for Baltimore, MD assembly, 756 for Black coated fabric bucket seat interior trim, 71 71 for LeMans Blue lower and upper exterior paint, 07A for the first week of July 1969 production, BL for Malibu sport coupe.
    The trim tag in 1969 does not denote if the vehicle is a V8 or not, only the 2nd and 3rd digits of the VIN do.
