1969 El Camino RPO Production Numbers/MSRP

 

 

 

Caveat: Option quantities/prices vary from resource to resource. These quantities (and prices in most cases) were taken from year-specific 'Accumulative Production/Final Model Year Reports' from Chevrolet and  'Options And Accessories When Installed By Chevrolet' price sheets and do not normally include quantities/prices from GM of Canada unless otherwise noted.

 

Options, Quantity and Cost

 

It is important to note the items listed and the quantity represent the item individually when ordered as an option and not when they may have come as standard equipment or in a convenience or appearance group on certain models. All costs listed are 1968/69 dollars as per GM documentation and may vary throughout the year. Also note some options were priced differently dependent on other options ordered, model the option was ordered on, and depending on what GM literature you're reading.

 

Quantity numbers may or may not be correct but are the best available figures. Be sure to read the notations below the list for anomalies.

* The L35 engine was also available in non-SS396 optioned Chevelles as a special ' police package' that also required power disc brakes. It's believed 323 non-SS396 optioned Chevelles were built. This figure is arrived at by subtracting the number of RPO Z25 (SS 396 Equipment) options sold from the total of the three 396 engine options.
RPO L35 = 59,786
RPO L34 = 17,358
RPO L78 =  9,486
================
Total      = 86,630
RPO Z25 = 86,307
