45

Asked by 72buickgs Mar 30, 2011 at 09:55 PM about the 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle

Question type: General

I have a 69 that came completely torn apart when I got it.  I was told it was an SS which I believed because it had all the tell tale signs, the black stripe in the back, 12 bolt rear end, bucket seats and console, SS trim for inside.  Got a manual and it says all SS's were 138 vin and the car has a 136vin? If sombody cloned it they wen to a lot of trouble to make it look good and then let it go to pot.  I have heard both stories that some SS's had a 136 code in 69?

You are all looking at 1969 hoping it's like the 1968? IT AIN'T! 69 went to an SS Package NOT, in the VIN! 1968 had 138 as SS in VIN but, 69 went to an SS PKG and 136 or 138 VIN has nothing or to do with the flavor SS or NOT!
