So the 300 deluxe option could be ordered on hardtop cars, was that just a different interior? Thanks for sharing.

300 hardtops still had the astro ventilation system.

I believe that a lot of hardtop 300 SS’s went unnoticed because to the uninitiated they looked like a Malibu SS on the exterior. L78 engines were blown as these cars were known to be good for racing and documents like BS’s were rare in ‘69 to ID these cars for what they were. I disagree that these cars were “a few hundred pounds” lighter. I think they were nominally lighter (IMO less than 100 lbs). The post cars would have less twist, but of course not true for the hardtops. BTW, love, love, LOVE these rare sleepers!

300 Deluxe is a model, you could get a post sedan or hardtop 300 Deluxe and get the SS396 package on both as well. 1969 Only

They might have built less post cars back in the day, but the hardtop 300’s seem harder to find today.

A lot of people see my car (non L78) and automatically think it’s a ‘68 or they think it’s a ‘69 with ‘68 doors….. Kurt

Being a one-year-only offering that was none too popular when new, they can indeed be confusing today.
