Maybe the Kansas plant saw the L78 for the COPO Chevelle and stamped the 'L' on the trim tag because that would normally denote an SS .

Curious, any real proof of the "L" being an SS, if so would you be kind enough to provide a link to that definitive information, thanks.

I have no idea if that's true, I'm not a Chevelle guy but I think some other people mentioned it.

My car has the "L" in the cowl tag but was not an SS car (as previously stated) - no SS trappings . . .
Just the 'Malibu' emblems above the glove box and on the door panels . . .

My 'donor car' has the A/C dash bezel so I'm still looking for a non A/C dash bezel for my '69 project. My car didn't have a map light - still has what appears to be the original RV Mirror so I'll most likely stay with that . . .

I've spotted EX Manifolds with the AIR ports 3909879 (LH) and 3916178 (RH) but so far, none with the correct date codes (Mar or Feb '69) . . .

Here's a link to a thread at Team Chevelle of page 4 of several pages talking about the "L" on the KC built Chevelles trim tags.
I lean toward believing it had to do with the body prep relating to no side mouldings.

Any updates on the project? Great story

Seasons Greetings:

It's been pretty quiet on the homefront - still trying to track down a few elusive parts that are required before the body work can start.
Once they are found, the next step will be shop selection. There are a few shops in my area to whom I have spoken - nothing in concrete yet . . .

Have a GREAT holiday season!!
