For the 1969 model year, the SS396 series (138xx VIN sequence) was dropped and the Super Sport became a performance option, order code RPO Z25. It could be ordered on the 300 Deluxe 2-dr Sport Coupe, Malibu 2-dr Sport Coupe, Malibu convertible, as well as the El Camino. The SS396 equipment package included a choice of Turbo-Jet 396 V8 with either 325 (L35), 350 (L34), or 375 (L78) horsepower. In addition, the package included these extra features; power disc brakes, 7″ wide sport-styled wheels, SS emblems trimmed the exterior front & rear, and inside on the dash and doors, twin-domed hood and beefed up full coil suspension complimenting the look and ride quality!

This SS396 maintains its original transmission tag bearing code of CC-69 reflecting a correct 325 horsepower Super Sport designated transmission, and a date-coded 12-bolt rear axle of A 6 9 (January 6th, 1969) with SS396-CX code axle ratio. According to our cowl tag, this example was officially built the 3rd week of January (01C) of 1969. All equipment matches the included Protect-O-Plate for validation. We couldn't be more confident of the originality of this Kansas City-built SS396/325hp Chevelle. It sold new from Roy Hughes Chevrolet in Bartlesville, OK in February 1969, and later made its way to Indiana. One prior cosmetic restoration was said to have been completed in 1988, then a mechanical restoration while in the care of an Ohio owner in 2005. It will come complete with spare tire resting in the trunk with cover, rubber mat along with all tire changing equipment, and two sets of keys.
