Chevelle SS for '68 / '69
Does the vin number for 68 and 69 Chevelles indicate an SS? Alan Colvin's book says that a Chevelle SS has a unique vin, but for some reason I thought that stopped in '67?

Up to 1968 the vin will start with 138 if it's a real SS. That changed in 1969.

Re: Chevelle SS for '68 / '69
Thanks all. A buddy picked up a '69 Chevelle this past Saturday in NYC, the plant on the trim tag is FM - assume that's Framingham?
This car is an 04C, 796 int, 57 / B pnt, with a plant code of 'G' in the VIN. A partial bld sheet shows engine code of JC, trans XF, axle KJ, wheels YA, and the options I can make out are: A51 buckets B22 SS 396 Dr Emb B74 SS 396 Ext Orn B80 Roof? B95 R/end? B96 R Whl Open? C08 Vinyl Top C24 Recessed Wipers D55 ? J50 disc brakes? J52 Pwr brakes? L34 the rest of the sheet is missing. I pulled the seat bottom out for him, but didn't see any remnants. If this is a Framingham, MA car, where did they put the build sheets??

Re: Chevelle SS for '68 / '69
G (Framingham) cars (Pontiacs too) are notorious for the 1/3 BS (almost always the third of a sheet starting from the left edge). Also known to have multiple BSs in seats.

Re: Chevelle SS for '68 / '69
Marlin, from my research on the IBM punch card I found for my Z28, "XF" is the code for an M21 with 3.73s... but your axle code of KJ is a 3.55 posi?
Maybe some of the experts can chime in for clarification? Dan

Re: Chevelle SS for '68 / '69
Yes, it only has the left 1/3 portion of the build sheet - just enough to see the L34...
