When my youngest brother was in college in the late 70's, he owned a 69 Malibu with a 307, buckets, console, and a floor mounted 3 speed manual trans....all OEM. I knew of several other 69 Malibus with bucket seats and console from the factory, albeit with automatic transmissions. So anyway, I think they were not so rare back in the day, but I would bet most of the survivors have been cloned into SS396's by now.
