69 L89 Chevelle, El Camino

[SS427]

Does anyone on here have an L89 Chevelle or El Camino or at least a copy of a real broadcast sheet? I Have a question about just one code in one box that I cannot qualify. I also have a question about the tune up decal code on the radiator support if it is original to the car. You can message or email me if you want to remain private. I very much appreciate the help.

----Rick,,,The only El Camino with the L89 option still existing is my old black one that is in the Brothers collection. When I owned it back in the mid 70's I had no idea about broadcast sheets and never looked for one. Charley may have found something and be able to help you out. Of course there are several L89 Chevelles, some owned by sight members and I'm sure someone will be able to help!....Bill S

Here’s the build sheet from the El Camino that sold on BAT in March. Hope this helps. I’m sure there are other member’s with examples of documentation that will assist you as well.

Cheers,
Marty

----Oops,,,I do remember that one now. Thanks, Marty!....Bill S

Thanks for that Bill. However, the broadcast sheet evidently lists the engine RPO code with a different letter (or in my case) than what the buildsheet lists. It is also only 1 letter not 2 and not a K(G) as in your case nor a K(I) for the HD clutch.

Rick,
Any chance you would share a photo of the broadcast sheet so we can see what you are talking about?
Thanks,
Marty

I have the original window sticker from my 69 L89, but no broadcast or build sheets. Not sure if that would help?

I probably have a pic on my computer of the broadcast for the black L89but not back till Monday.

If you are talking about the engine "RPO" box (line 2 box 11 on a 69 body broadcast sheet), that corresponds to the code that the salesman was supposed to enter on the new car order form to order that optional engine. In 66-67 some of them were single-digit numbers and some were single letters, but all were a single character, and had nothing at all to do with the engine suffix code. Don't know if that remained true in 69.

If you can find a 1969 dealer ordering instructions book it would have that code in it. I have those books for 64-67 but I don't think I have a 69. I will double check this weekend though.

Great information Jeff and that alone may put some of this to rest. I do not have the 69 books so if anyone does I would greatly appreciate any help in that matter.
