1969 F40 F41

[Keith Tedford]

We bought our COPO Chevelle new and there was no mention of F40 or F41. Our SS396 car has the F40 suspension which supposedly came with stiffer shocks and springs. There weren't many F41 cars built, as handling really wasn't on peoples minds in those days. The F41 got the boxed arms and rear sway bar, along with a heavier front stabilizer bar as well. 1969 was the first year for F41 on a Chevelle. Some of the other "A" body cars got it several years earlier. That's the way I understand it anyway.
