Default Re: 1969 Monaco Orange L78 300 Deluxe Post Sedan Resto

Hi Dan, (Postsedan)

This Monaco Orange Chevelle is very similar to one in Motorbooks International Muscle Car Color History CHEVELLE 1964-1972, owned by Gary Adkins Dresden Tennessee.

1969 300 Deluxe Monaco Orange, L78 L89 M22, the only differences I see are the aluminum trim around the doors, the lack of black side stripes, the tires, lack of overspray on the heads and intake, firewall markings 72-13427 vs 72-72-13427, and the lack of an antenna, to the one in the coffee table book.

Is the engine (torque strap) hold down brackets and wire rope a GM part? I don't remember ever seeing one.

I think the one from the book spent some time at Floyd Garrets. (not recently as I visited last year and no 300's, just Chuck Hanson's 69)

Ryan
