Help with a Chevelle tag decode, please.

[69L72RS]

I have located a 69 Chevelle that I was told is a real SS car.
Would someone please look this tag info over and let me know if this is a real SS or another wild goose-chase. Below is all the info that I have been able to get from the owner.
I am trying to set up a time to look at it in person this coming weekend.


ST69 13637 BAL254777 BDY4

TR 756 72 B PNT

05D 8 B L179154

The car is in primer and has the following, black bucket seat interior, factory tach and gages, 4-spd muncie, 12-bolt posi, PDB. The engine is supposed to be a 396 out of a Nova.
The body is fairly solid with a few rust holes in the front fenders and drivers door.

What else should I look for?

Thanks in advance for your help.

That trim tag says Super Sport.
Original Monaco Orange w/ Black V-Top & Blk Buckets.
What's the redline on the tach?
Relay the rearend prefix stamped on the passenger side axle tube too.

Eric, Its a BB car because its orange. Id look for a 3/8 fuel line and a 6000 tach to see if its a 375. May want to check the rear ratio .

Thanks for the help guys.

Rick,
I'll get the axle code this weekend.

Chuck,
He said the tach is yellow at 5700 and red at 6000 with a 7000 end. I'll check to see if the ratio matches the code when I look at the car.

[Mr70]

Look for a buildsheet behind the passenger side front door panel 1st,then the drivers side,then behind/under all the seats & two rear panels,then the carpet under layment.

Rick,
Do you mean between the door panel and the door shell?

[Mr70]

Yep.

[69L72RS]

Does the 6K redline mean it is a 396/375 car?
I'll call tomorrow to ask about the fuel line.

Thanks for the help.

I'll post pics after I get to see it in person.

Since its not a copo, 6000 redline means L78 or L89....

....assuming that tach has been in the car since it was brand new.
