in Description, item is not
available. When listed in Quantity or Cost, figures and/or cost are not available. |
||
| ** | The costs listed come from numerous resources; GM Heritage Restoration Kits, actual dealer invoices (GM to dealer cost), car invoices (dealer to buyer), and valid window stickers. Costs in the GM Heritage Restoration Kits are generally done very early in the model year and are subject to change. If you have verified proof of an option with a different cost than is shown, please don't hesitate to contact me via my contact page. Prices charged may vary from dealer to dealer and/or with other options ordered and even publications. Additional pricing shown is also shown with series/model and date. | ||
| *** |
The H.D. manual 3-speed transmission was STANDARD EQUIPMENT on all SS396 Chevelle models. The Optional RPO M13 was a mandatory option on the El Camino when either 396cid engine was offered. Of course, the 4-speed manual and Powerglide were also optional. |
||
| **** |
It is not known whether the 54,166 figure listed for RPO K19
(A.I.R.) is truly a number of times the option was customer
ordered, or if it includes the number of times the option was
mandated due to California requirements and ordered by other
state's customers. If it's true that California built (Fremont)
Chevelles mandated the K19 option (which would also mean
the K24 option) then of the 59,074 Chevelles built at Fremont,
the 4,908 Chevelles are unaccounted for from Fremont without
these options. 59074 - Chevelles at Fremont 54166 - RPO K19 options reported ------- 4,908 - Remaining Fremont cars not equipped with RPO K19 RPO K24 (closed positive ventilation) is listed in GM literature as being required with RPO K19 is ordered. Yet, only 924 options are shown as being ordered. Since this option could be ordered without the RPO K19, it's believed this number is for all non-RPO K19 ordered Chevelles. |
