1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396
Chevelle SS 396
A documented Z25 SS 396 with its original window sticker — the one piece of paper that can actually prove a 1969 Chevelle is a real Super Sport.
Why the Paperwork Is the Story
For 1969 only, Chevrolet dropped SS 396 as a separate model series and made it an option: RPO Z25, available on the Malibu and 300 Deluxe. The consequence is that nothing on the VIN or the Fisher Body plate identifies a 1969 Chevelle as a genuine SS. A real one and a badged Malibu carry the same numbers.
Which is why this car matters. Its original window sticker lists 6Z25AA SS 396 EQUIP — $347.60, in black and white, from Chevrolet Motor Division. That single line is proof no clone can produce. The car also retains its original build sheet, along with receipts and documentation kept in an organized binder.
It was built at the Baltimore, Maryland plant and delivered new to Luttrell Chevrolet in Pulaski, Virginia — Zone 37, Dealer 302, order TN0982 — at a total delivered price of $3,786.00.
As Delivered — From the Window Sticker

The Z25 package carried the L35 396 rated at 325 horsepower — confirmed here by the correct 396 Turbo-Jet 325 HP air cleaner — backed by the Turbo Hydra-Matic 400. Both are represented as numbers-matching to the car.
Restoration and Color Change
We want buyers to have the same information we do, so this is stated plainly rather than left to be discovered.
This Chevelle was delivered in Glacier Blue, paint code 53, with a dark blue vinyl roof and dark blue cloth interior, trim code 762. All three are documented on the window sticker that comes with the car, and the original codes remain on the cowl tag.
It now wears LeMans Blue, which is 1969 Chevelle paint code 71 — a correct factory color for the year, not a custom shade — over a white vinyl roof and white interior. The original NC8 chambered exhaust has also been replaced with a MagnaFlow stainless system.
The result is a car that presents as a period-correct 1969 SS 396 in one of the model’s most striking factory colors, on a numbers-matching and fully documented chassis, restored in colors other than its own. Buyers seeking a car restored to its documented original specification should know that up front.
Documentation Included
- Original window sticker

The odometer reads 82,135 miles, and the service records retained with the car support that figure as actual. As with all vehicles of this era, the odometer is a five-digit unit; the documentation is what stands behind the number. The binder is available for review by any serious buyer.
