3-speed: 448 units

3-speed automatic has the more detailed breakdown by HP:

4848 Units

All above are Turbo 400's.

Does your book break out the 4-speed L78's far as M20, M21, and M22?
How about by body style, say for instance the 13427 cars? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

The only number his book will have is 5,620 V8 13427`s.

Remember the 1400 is a just a guesstimate.

Just curious, where is the production breakdown for transmission and engine options published?

Rick:
The only breakdown in the manner you asked is for total chevelle production of each category nit just for L78's, so the total for 4-spd is broken down by total M21, M22's and I image the balance of the total is for M20's. Same for 3-speeds.
Now under each of the RPO's there is somewhat of a breakdown. The majority of the options are broken by ECL code, at times they list models in addition other times a range, as an example under M20, there are 3 different ECL codes but the lines also list L34,L78 so each line combines the totals for both. Depending on the year, some have more model detail than others but all breakouts are by ECL codes.

The Chevelle is not broken down by model but is broken down by engine and by HP, so it has numbers for how many cars were produced with each engine and by each HP rating.

This information was not published, this was a compilation of reports distributed to select GM Executives and is basically a trends report for all Chevrolet models for various years broken down for the most part by ECL codes but unfortunately does to include usage next to the ECL codes. Here and there models or model ranges are listed next to the ECL codes.
There is no breakdown or listing for COPO RPO's unfortunately.

This sounds like the same info that has been available for years in the &quot;Chevelle and El Camino ID code book&quot; [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Rick,
The ID code book has a breakdown of options by ECL codes, production numbers of exterior and interior colors, etc, perhaps I was misinformed about this information.

Paul

[Rixls6]

It's not laid out how you say, but essentially gives those kind of figures for the RPO's.
It shows for totals in all 69 Chevelle:
15,748 MC1 Heavy Duty 3-speeds.
44,950 M20
13,786 M21
1,276 M22
But they do not break the numbers down further as to how many of each engine trans combo.

I'll check with Dale from Chevellestuff about that ID book, never heard of it but sounds great.
This report dates from about 1958 through 1969 partial year for 1970 and includes all passenger cars. I wonder if that ID book derived from this information.
