Canadian 1969 Chevelle 300 Deluxe SS, L78, M22

[Keith Tedford]

Don't be surprised if you find that owners changed things early on with these cars. About the second summer that I had our COPO car, I found a set of buckets and console at Dom's east of Oshawa. They ended up in our 300 Deluxe car many years later. The '69 SS396 had been rolled so and everything was mint. I had the SS Chevelle letters and Corvette 427 numbers added to the front fenders when the car was brand new. Added an AM radio that I picked up too. Our 300 Deluxe car also had carpets when we got it. I found a repro rubber mat for the car but it didn't fit very well over the hump. Lots of stuff went on back then, especially when originality didn't matter.
