Paul, Wasn't the full-sized 396-265 shown on the car as a 400ci. 2 bbl. ? (My grandfather had a gold '69 4 door Bel Air with this combo.)

K-Man,

I don't remember the front fender 'emblem', but I think in 1969 it still was '396'

I do remember seeing a few Biscaynes 'Sedan/Post Car' with '4' Tail-Lights in the Rear Bumper,
with the 396/265 HP ~ 2-Barrel.

396/265 HP 'L-66'

Another 'Odd-Ball' combination.

1969 NHRA Class {14.00 to 14.99 Wt/Hp} = M/S or M/SA

Of course it was a long , long time ago. Yes it had "396" badges above the fender amber reflectors, but I thought I remember the air cleaner lid stating "400".

Just out of curiosity the '69 Camaro Z/28 302 cross ram 343hp was a over the counter dealer option is not in the classification guide because it's just that?

Thx,

The 'rarest' of the 396 Engines 396/265 HP 'L-66'.

The Air Cleaner Decal for 1969.




Very popular for Town Official Cars with the 4-Door Sedan in both the 'Biscayne' or 'Bel Air',,,,,,,and Mid-West Farmers with the Impala 'Hardtop'.

We had a '69 Impala with the 327 in it that my grandfather towed a boat with cool car....but, that was the year of Chevy defective motor mounts ( there was no safety interlock in them) if they separated the engine would fall onto the steering linkage and you couldn't steer the car. GM had a recall and the fix was a bracket that attached to the exhaust manifolds with a cable looped around the upper control arm mounts. I was with my mother in the car when she rear ended someone, the engine went out through the radiator the recall brackets ripped the exhaust manifolds off of the engine and the throttle was pulled WIDE open, this thing was screaming (pretty exciting). In a panic mom asked me what to do, I said turn off the key. Dad fixed that car as good as new.....

Paul,
You seem to be the guy with the answers. Didn't they only produce 99 COPO Chevelle's with the L-72 427/425hp? How about the COPO Camaro, didn't they produce 1,014 of those with the steel head L-72 427/425hp engine?
Thank's.....
