this was great to get. GM was not even promoting black as a color option for a 69 camaro (page 180-181 of the camaro pdf).

Pretty cool. They did leave out much of the data for the 1970 L78 and LS6 Chevelle's and El Camino's. Thanks for sharing. Good read!

Fantastic. A lot of good stuff in there. I saved the 139 page document for 69 Chevelles. Going to take some time to read through it all. Thanks for the link Jimmy [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

There is also no reference to the 69 Chevelle L78 information.

After ten years of research on the 69 300 Deluxe models I had surmised the trunk got just a plain Black mat rather than the normal Herringbone mat. However, according to this document the 300 Deluxe models got the normal spatter paint, but <span style="font-weight: bold">&quot;NO&quot;</span> trunk mat. Are you listening Dan?

I looked at some other stuff on the Heritage Center web site and found an interesting statement under the FAQ:

&quot;Question: Where can I find the records that you do not have?
Answer: For Buick records prior to 1982, contact the Alfred P. Sloan Museum. For Pontiac records prior to 1987, contact PHS. While we continue to search for original build records and dealer invoices for Chevrolet, GMC, and Oldsmobile vehicles built prior to the 1977 model year, there is currently no resource available from which to obtain this information.&quot;

Long shot but at least it sounds like they're interested in finding the pre 77 Chevrolet stuff.
