Technically the base car was its own model, since it had its own series designation of 133 or 134 versus 135 or 136 for a Malibu. GM even noted it as a new "model" when they reintroduced the base model in March of 1970.

Rainer, it was so nice to meet at Joe S’s, We talked about 1970 Chevelles for a while and now I see you have a Black 1969 L78/M22/KK??? how did we not talk about your 1969?

Can you share the details? Is there a thread about that car?

Hey Ryan -
Great to finally meet you as well. I have not really posted anything online about the 69 L78. I'll have to create a thread here at some point. I'll PM you a couple pics.

I agree, Rainer we spoke about your Chevelle (and how you found it) that Saturday night at MCACN at Joe's place - love to see more of it! Perhaps start a thread...
