RE: [Chevelle-list] 67 options

[Dale]

The gauge package (RPO U14) could be ordered on any V8 sport coupe or convertible, so it wasn't a SS-only thing and it's not clear if it was available on the Elky.  Chevelle options brochure says V8 sport coupe/convertible only (meaning no L6 cars and no wagons) and the Elky literature doesn't mention it.  Correct that you could get any of the 396 engines and any trans in the Elky (TH400 with 396 only) and no SS Elky until 1968.  The trans option might have changed after printing the options brochure however.  The trim level on the Elky was still Malibu level in 67.  Lower belt line trim, wood grain dash strip, NO SS hood even with the 396s, and even the Malibu script above the glove compartment.     I don't think they came with the full guage package, the trim , interior & convenience packages were all options. Mostly tho.... you could get whatever you ordered & they offered for that year. That is a beautiful car, it is funny seeing it with a bench & column shifter.    Mikey -------Original Message-------   From: The Chevelle Mailing List Date: 09/08/04 22:20:06 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Chevelle-list] 67 options   was  just  wondering,  did  all  ss  models  come  with  the  full  gauge  package ?  seen  a  ss  for  sale  on  e-bay  this  car  also  had  the  shifter  on  the  column,  is  it  you  get  what  you  order  or  what.  the  seller  claims  its  a  number  matching  car,  i  just  always  thought  when  you  ordered  an  ss  all  the  goodies  came  with  it,  maybe  my  thinking  was  wrong  after  all.  also,  aside  from  the  numbers  i  once  read  that   one  way  to  tell  an  ss  is  the  strip  by  the  ingition,  a  malibu  is  a  wood  grain  an  a  ss  is  a  wrinkled  finish  black  any  help  thanks  ronnie Do you Yahoo!?
