1969 Chevrolet Chevelle Deluxe 300 Series 136 + RPO Z25 Super Sport 396 Option Package V8 Convertible

The Triple Black Combination Makes it One of Fifteen
After being totally redesigned for 1968, Chevelle for 1969 had a newly styled front end, which was again well-received by the intermediate market. It would be another very successful year for Chevelle, with more than 367,000 sold. The buyer had many levels of options and several engines to choose from, including an economical six, a larger 307 cubic-inch displacement V8 and a high-performance big block engine.

The Chevelle Malibu was a favored muscle car platform, particularly when ordered with the SS 396 performance package. This included the potent 396 engine which produced 325 horsepower at 4800 RPM, front disc brakes, heavy-duty rear end and special Super Sport badging.

This car was originally built in the GM Oshawa, Canada plant on June 2, 1969. It was delivered new, to the GM Technical Center, for use as an Engineering department vehicle. This special SS convertible was one of only fifteen produced for sale in the US with the rare combination of triple black paint, interior and top, in addition to the SS 396 package. Of 86,307 SS Malibus produced, it is unknown how many of the 8,927 convertibles were Super Sports. This model's original base list price was $2,800.
