69 chevelle question

[jasonL78]

Could you get an L78 chevelle in 1969 with AC? If it has the AC balls in the dash I can asume it was an AC car?

No solid lifter Chevelles, Camaros, Novas etc, came with air conditioning. The AC balls you're referring to, were used for the Astro Ventilation, in non air cars.

Jason..does it have the center air deflector/duct?..all Malibus have astro ventilation...the two chrome balls on either side..300's did not...as Bill said, no solid lifte cars with a/c.

300 coupes do have Astro ventilation.

Thanks guys a friend is looking at a 69 chevelle SS L78 car and I noticed those balls in the dash, I thought they were only on AC cars but that is why I asked. Astro Ventilation. LOL who thought of that? I also looked at the pictures again no center deflector duct good call Albert.

dont know it..but a couple of things I did see:

bad tach..calibration is off..could be original...just off
repro wheel centers
wrong power steerng brackets ( 70 style )
on the build sheet I did not see the vin..it may be there and they did not show all of it in the video.
looks to be a decent car
Im sure others will add.and as always......Caveat Emptor!

How much are they asking for it Jason? It's almost a twin to my L78.Mine is original drive-line though.

39k? My friend is looking for a nice driving BB chevelle 69 or 70. Looking to spend 30-40k. It has to be the right car. It seems like he is hooked on this one. BLACK on BLACK is nice and the lines look good..

two things I saw are that the tachometer looks to be a 5500 rpm tach and it should be 6000 for an L78 car. also, the center console has a lock on it which is not correct for 69 model year.

Jason, I have the &quot;Right&quot; car for him, but it's a little more than his budget. See my 69, L78 in the members ride section.
