69 L89 Chevelle, El Camino

[jeffschevelle]

If you are talking about the engine "RPO" box (line 2 box 11 on a 69 body broadcast sheet), that corresponds to the code that the salesman was supposed to enter on the new car order form to order that optional engine. In 66-67 some of them were single-digit numbers and some were single letters, but all were a single character, and had nothing at all to do with the engine suffix code. Don't know if that remained true in 69.

If you can find a 1969 dealer ordering instructions book it would have that code in it. I have those books for 64-67 but I don't think I have a 69. I will double check this weekend though.

Great information Jeff and that alone may put some of this to rest. I do not have the 69 books so if anyone does I would greatly appreciate any help in that matter.

I sent some L89 info from my files. (Email)

A complete set of documents for the L89 El Camino in the Brothers collection.
(I was given this for our L89 display at MCACN, but Mecum posted it online for the auction years later so I figure it’s public now)

Broadcast sheet for a gold L89 Chevelle with green interior (I’ve never seen it in person)

Broadcast sheet for a Lemans Blue L89? (I can’t remember this one) Chevelle

Also a private document I think from the third L89 El Camino???

I think about W31’s all the time now… need to refresh my L89 brain!!!

Etc
