I have some 1969 Super Sport Chevelles buidsheets built at Baltimore,Framingham & Fremont plants sumbitted in the registry.
I also have a few 69 COPO Chevelle,(Baltimore),buildsheets as well.
Needless to say,they are scarce for these vehicles.

Excuse my ignorance Rick, I did not know there was a '69 Chevelle SS registry. Do tell more . Have you derived stats from it? What are your thots on the infamous "L" on the trim tags (Leeds & Baltimore) and there association with an SS Chevelle?

Thanks,
Sam

These were submitted from a few 1970 Chevelle owners for the 1970 Chevelle registry I oversee,be it Malibu,Super Sport,Elcamino,Convertible or Station Wagons.There is too much to correlate with the 1970 information vehicles alone,so the few 69's I receive are just for comparison with the 70's.
I tend to believe the "L" stood more as an indicator for a Big Block,vs. a Super Sport.

Back to the "L" discussion. I have two Baltimore 69 SS Chevelles and both have the letter "L" on the trim tag. A previously owned 69 SS from Kansas City also had the "L" on the trim tag.

I haven't yet seen or heard of a Malibu with the "L" yet. Would like to know more. This has been discussed on Team Chevelle and as of yet, no one has debunked the theory.

In 1970,you could get a NON Super Sport Malibu or Elco with an LS-3 402/330Hp engine.It could show the letter "L" on the trim tag.
For 1969,the Super Sport Chevelle & Elcamino came with Big Blocks only,so it is difficult to say for sure if that "L" denoted a Super Sport or a Big Block.
I believe 427 CID COPO Chevelles have been found with the "L" too.
