1969 CHEVROLET CHEVELLE 4-SPEED

OVERVIEW

This 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu was assembled the last week in March 1969 at GM's Kansas City, Missouri plant and was sold on May 2, 1969 at Ruwart-McKinnon Chevrolet in Denver, Colorado. While with its second owner, it received a frame-up restoration. Features include a rebuilt 396ci V8 backed by a Muncie M20 four-speed manual transmission, power steering and brakes, an AM/FM/CD stereo, a center console, bucket seats, and SS badges. Finished in Fathom Green and equipped with a Parchment vinyl top over a Midnight Green vinyl interior, this garage-kept Chevelle is available now and comes from the selling dealer with an owner’s manual, a body assembly manual, the original Protect-O-Plate, sales literature, a restoration photo album, and a clear title.

The exterior was refinished in the original color of Fathom Green (57) during the frame-up restoration.
