How Many 69 L89 Chevelles?

[olredalert]

--------Understand that from my viewpoint I didnt feel that I was pulling things out of "thin air". This was info from a very wealthy, very well connected in the automotive industry icon of sorts (Joe Hrudka, AKA Mr.Gasket). It was my thought at the time that he made a couple of calls somewhere within the GM umbrella and was told this fact. I may have been wrong to take his word. On the other hand, one could make the case that the number of L89 El Caminos would not follow the normal path of other 69 Chevelles as far as percentages are concerned. El Caminos were workhorses 95% of the time. They were normally bought for far different reasons than other Chevelle SSs. The 396s were desireable from a power standpiont for towing purposes, but the L89 option and L78 option wouldnt have appealed to the guy who needed an El Camino normally. It isnt too long a leap to imagine that the numbers of L89s in El Camino SSs would be far less than in other SS models percentage wise..........Bill S
