Announced as ‘America’s most popular mid-size car’, the 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle debuted with revised front-end styling featuring quad headlights and a new grille. The Chevelle offered a variety of body styles from a two-door Sport Coupe all the way up to a spacious four-door Station Wagon along with an assortment of trim levels that allowed it to appeal to a vast range of buyers. For the thrill-seeking customer, Chevrolet would offer their Super Sport or SS package as an engine and styling option available on any 1969 two-door 300 Deluxe or Malibu series Chevelle. Identified as RPO code L35 on the build sheet, this option granted customers the legendary Mark IV big-block V8 which utilized cast-iron oval-port cylinder heads along with a hydraulic camshaft and a Rochester four-barrel carburetor to produce 325 horsepower and a whopping 410 lb-ft of torque.
