1969 Chevelle 2 dr post with vinyl top

[EZ Nova]

YES Bill, Dan certainly knows about these post cars.

Dan, So if this is a 2 dr post, 1969 Chevelle (that we know it is), PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, It can only be a 300 or Malibu right? So if those are the only 2 "post" options, and IF IT has dash vents, it's a Malibu? And Mailbu has the "hidden" wipers too? It that right?

Planning on seeing/driving the car next week. Now I know the bench seat is bye-bye. Has buckets and console now with ORIGINAL back seat. So probably has build sheet. I think the car was originally butternut yellow. I'm leaning towards Rally Green (wifes favorite color is green), Hugger orange or LeMans blue. IF I look and put the vinyl roof on, would add Olympic gold to the list.

John,

A 69 Chevelle 2 door post sedan can ONLY be a 300 Deluxe model; no 69 Malibus came with a post. If it's a post sedan and has dash vents (Astro Ventilation), then someone swapped in a Malibu dashboard some time over the years. The 2 door post sedan cars only came with the kick panel vents and the vent windows in the doors. And yes, the Malibu came standard with the hidden wipers, but they were optional at extra cost on the 300 Deluxe.

Thanks for the info Bill. So ANY 1969 Chevelle 2 door post is a 300 D?

Got it.

Correct, but you must also not forget that the 300 Deluxe was also in a 4 door sedan version and a 2 door sports coupe in 1969 (not a Post Sedan). 13337 and 13437
