1969 Chevrolet Malibu

One of America’s most recognized Muscle Car Icons, the 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle was produced with only minor styling changes, including new taillamps. With another record climbing sales year the Chevelle was on the rise and the SS 396 became an option package on all Chevelles. Now making it possible to order the SS 396 package on everything from the popular sales leading Malibu to the Chevelle 300-series and the Chevrolet El Camino pick up. The 396 engine option was offered again with 325, 350, and 375hp and in late model year, the 396 was bored out to 402 cubic engines, reportedly to meet new emission standards. Chevrolet produced a limited number of COPO Chevelles, specially ordered from the factory by specific dealers and a few select customers. Stocked standard with the L72 427 V8 rated at 425hp. An estimated 323 Chevelle COPO 427s were built.
