1969 Chevrolet Chevelle Convertible Six-Speed

Description

Announced as “America’s most popular mid-size car,” the 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle debuted with revised front-end styling featuring quad headlights and a new grille. The updated Chevelle offered a variety of body styles from a two-door Sport Coupe all the way up to a spacious four-door Station Wagon along with an assortment of trim levels that allowed it to appeal to a vast range of buyers. For the thrill-seeking customer, Chevrolet would offer their Super Sport or SS package as an engine and styling option available on 1969 Malibu and Chevelle models. Identified as RPO code “Z25” on the build sheet, this option gave customers the legendary Mark IV 396 cu-in big-block V8 and additional Super Sport equipment, like specific emblems on the grille, front fenders, and the blacked out taillamp panel, with the SS package also featuring a domed hood and power front disc brakes.  

The 1969 Chevelle was the most popular muscle car in America that year, surpassing the Pontiac GTO as number one.  This Chevelle Convertible, featuring SS 396 trim and dressed in Le Mans Blue paint over a white vinyl bucket seat interior and white convertible top, makes is easy to see why.
