Alex is right. In 69 there was no SS model; It was an option on the model you picked. You have a Malibu with an SS option pkg.

It IS a Malibu as far as the state is concerned, options (like the SS option) not withstanding. The SS package is an option, just like my 69 Sport Sedan has the Concours option.

Just FYI, the 1969 full rear quarters are back in stock. Left front fenders are also in on the east coast but not the west. Right front fenders are in on the west coast but not the east (go figure). Both fenders are supposed to be available on both coasts by mid-March. I'm sure you can get these from just about any vendor. John Nasta

Re: [Chevelle-list] 1969 Chevelle Frame
The extra body mounts were cushions only and they went adjacent to the front corner mounts under the firewall. Convertible and big block cars got them. All frames are already prepared to have them there so you can put them on should you decide to pull the body off the frame. Tom
RE: [Chevelle-list] 1969 Chevelle Frame
RJ I am a professional resto rod builder. I have built a 71 ss454 rag and a 66 ss396 rag. am also in the process of doing a 64 rag and a 66 malibu and a 300. as far as I have ever seen there never has been any difference between a smblk and a bigblk car frame. the only one that is different is the rag frame which is boxed in. The biggest diff will be engine mount towers on the frame the BB are different from the SMblk. As far as the 10b vs 12b 12b is defently stronger but not totally nessasary unless you are goin to put alot of HP to it. Like over 500hp with high stall or 4 spd. with big tires. if you have any more ?s I'll wath the list or you can mail me direct.

Re: [Chevelle-list] 1969 Chevelle Frame
hey ron the engine mount tower's are the same small block or big block, only one tower for all v 8 cars, the only difference in your frames are the option bolted to it like sway bars and body mount, 10 bolt rear are fine upto 250 horse after that i would go with the 12 , gl rick
Re: [Chevelle-list] 1969 Chevelle Frame
Let me clear up something about the engine frame mounts on 68-72 specifically. There are 3 different ones and they are as follows: 6 cylinder, 307, and all other V-8s. The 6 cylinder mounts are obviously different. The 307 mounts are in a world of their own and are taller than the other V-8 mounts. You must use a 307 engine mount on any other small block if that's what the car originally came with. The other alternative is to swap out the frame mounts for a non 307 V8 application. Tom
Re: [Chevelle-list] 1969 Chevelle Frame
For engine mount stands this is correct. My car was a factory 307 car and I had to get the other V-8 mounts in order to put a big block in unless I wanted to Mickey Mouse it and use 307 mounts (in between the stands and the engine). There was no way I was going to trust big block torque with small block mounts. Now for BODY to frame mounts, there were an extra set that were used on the big block cars. It's an option when buying body mounts. I do see on the frame where those mounts would go up front. However, I do NOT see where on the body they would mount to, unless the factory welded on a special mount platform onto the firewall? Anyone have any pics of those inside big block body mounts? I may opt for it if I can be convinced I will need them with a big block in there, and they are available in repro.

Re: [Chevelle-list] 1969 Chevelle Frame
Funny I could of swore those extra mounts were on convertibles and had not darn thing to do with a car being a Big Block. Sure would make it easy to pick out a clone (non SS made into an SS)if they were missing those extra mounts. Larry (Z)

hey Ron, mic suggestion will get you going in the right direction, the problem is the current has drawn in the corrosion, and the rust is not your friend, but, alittle diluted acid with an eye dropper, and a water hose to control the cleaning, and you can clean up an old harness, my next project, IM going to try a different method, IM been thinking about how they clean up old ship wreck corrosion, maybe soaking the harness is DI water, might pull that crap out of the wire, and restoring the electrical current good luck, anything to save a buck, that my motto

Wayne ACES # 1556 TC #186 = The smiles per mile factor is what the car Hobby is all about I agree But Wayne has also hit the proverbial nail on the head with his comments on hours spent in the garage...Pure relaxation Years ago after a hard day at work I got into the bad habit of stopping by the watering hole for a drink or two or three after work to unwind. The wife kind of put her foot down and I picked up an old Corvette and spent the next three years redoing (not restoring) it in the garage after work...an hour here an hour there etc... Well when it was finished I was not about to sell it so I bought another car and repeated the process... and still am repeating the process I have been retired since 1998 and My garage has become 2 garages...and both have been remodeled (enlarged) and now I work on and play with my 5 Corvettes and the Chevelle whenever the mood strikes me. All my cars are now complete and on the street..(none are 100 percent as usual) and I am looking for another project car (hopefully not my last) to fill the last available bay in the one garage. But looking back. Those hours I have spent in the garage sure beat sitting at a bar, or going bowling etc...and the trips I have taken with those cars allowed my wife and me to make tons of new friends from almost every walk of life I am now thinking of relocating to a State with LOW taxes, warm weather, cheap utilities etc and buying a small A frame home WITH AN ATTACHED 7 CAR GARAGE... Yep Smiles per mile and 1000's of hours of relaxation... worked for me... Bob Griffiths .

Re: [Chevelle-list] 1969 Chevelle SS for sale
I am with Ken - that missing the trans will never make it a true #'s car. Also is there should be some documentation to prove that it is a true Super Sport since after '68 the SS was ordered as an option and was not included in the VIN. I am also with Bob that a total restoration means total - in my schooling, total means a frame off with everything needing rebuilding or replacing has been done with new sheet metal replacing all rust.

Re: [Chevelle-list] 1969 Chevelle SS for sale
Guys, I do restoration work as a profession. On average, a
complete restoration will require between four hundred and five hundred hours. I
can generally do a car in six months. Five thousand is cheap for a complete car
such as this one.(if it is complete except for trannie and the body is
solid)Unless you are planning on showing the car in AACA national events
the trans is no problem. People are way too hung up on "numbers matching". A
nicely done 69 SS 396 will bring over 20,000 even after you drive it for a few
years. Put more value on Smiles per Miles and less on the trans is not the one
that came in the car.
Just my opinion.

a 69 chevelle ss that needs complete restoration, lets see ,figure 2000 for interior needs. another 3000 for engine work , and a good paint job will set you back a 3000k tranny there another 1200 rearend there another 500 spent, then you have chrome and trim chauk up another 1000 then you have a hole list of things that need to be replace springs shocks bushings just to name a few , drive shaft there a another 200, i dont think you can restore a chevelle with less then 10 k in parts alone, then the time 400 or 500 hours seems small more like 800 hours, and that if you know your way around the chevelle, (now its true i do everything twice it seems), and if you want to go back to bone stock you can add another 2k, to to the kitty. ten years ago i could restore a chevelle for 7k in parts but nowdays it so much more, and if you want to trim your car out with leather add another 1000 grand to the pot, before you know it your 5k over budget, then you have to cut your labor in half to make up the difference, a fair price for a 69 chevelle ss that needs the works is 1200 at best , i just turn down a ss car just like you describe and he wanted 900 for it,, my best advice for someone who wants to restore a chevelle , buy the poorest looking chevelle for a few hundred dollars, and build a clone. like one of you said in 69 the ss was a option ,unless you have a build sheet you cant prove its a true ss, if you start with a 5k car and you drop 10k in it, you have already exceeded the value of the finish car,, if you look at the chevelle's on ebay you see alot of nice cars but they dont sell over 18k unless there a post car or yenko cars, then the guy asking well over 40k,, if anyone would like to buy a post chevelle non ss but it has all the ss stuff you would like to see, i have one for sale and it will only cost you 20k this is a small price to pay for what your going to get, completely new 396 400 tranny 12 bolt posi ss hood , this car has the f40 or f41 suspension, boxed control arm with sway bar which by the way is factory parts, not aftermarkit, it has date coded ss rims, tilt , non a/c car disc brake new bumbers just about everything on this car is new or rebuilt orginal equipment, car has never been started yet i was trying to finish it all before turning the key, all i like is tires exhaust and sail panels, that about it , i was going to ask 25k for the car once finish, i have another 69 chevelle, that i cant wait to start on this car, this car is very special i figured the value will be 50k without the build sheet, this is a special paint car, but when im done it will be a copo clone, 427 4 speed car morocco orange, or rally green not sure yet about the color, thanks for reading my ramblings on jim

André I did some house cleaning this month. I sold the 1969 chevelle, 1971 c hevelle and the pair of 1967 beaumonts. This week I am also starting to build a 1969 chevelle. We have 3 cars to get one nice on out of. One is a 1969 chevelle and 2 1968 beaumonts. I am building this car for someone else and it is buy the hour. It will be nice to make a little money while doing my hobby. Since we are going to have a bunch of 1968 beaumont parts left I am going to my buddys to buy a 1968 beaumont. Joe the one I am building the car for was one of the people who come t o look at it but didn't get back in time. He asked me when I was goig to build another one. So I offered to build him one, located 3 cars and sh owed him this weekend. He liked the cars and parts and away we go. I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD DO THIS RESTORATION ON LINE???

RE: [Chevelle-List] 1969 chevelle
That's true. The re-pops don't look exactly like the originals. The re-pops are not hard to find. I assume you are talking about the originals. I hope you got a good price on that grill. It's not like those are hard to find either, and the repros are fine. John Nasta -Original Message- sounds good.

Re: [Chevelle-List] 1969 chevelle
I scored some great deals at Englishtown Sat. I got a set of NOS GM 1/4's for my 69. They had been previously installed but never painted and in the factory black primer. The guy who removed them did a good job of cutting them bigger than the 1/4 so it's all still there. (They'll obviously require some tome to remove nicely, but time, I can manage!) I am going to use them on my ragtop so I will have to cut them up anyhow. $200 for the pair! I also got a set of BFG Drag radials that look just about new. 275/60- 15 for $100. And we didn't get rained on! Couldn't have asked for more!
