Our 69 Yenko Chevelle restoration

[JoeC]

My car has all original interior (including the rug) and has the 68 style Malibu dash trim

Was that trim piece different for the 68 and 69 Malibu?

I know the 1969 SS 396 trim had a different grain pattern then the 68 but I see some people sell the 68 and 69 Malibu trim as the same part?

The steering wheel emblems for the COPO 427 Chevelles have come through with different ones.
some have the bow tie , some have the Malibu some had the SS

mine has the bow tie

I believe the entire edge shape of the trim piece is slightly different between 68/69 malibu, and for certain the font is specific to each year, with the 68 version using the script "Malibu" vs. the 69 wording in all caps, similar to the 69 Malibu 1/4 panel emblem.
