I have a Monaco Orange 1969 Chevelle. Is it a true SS?
If, and only if, the Fisher Body Number tag shows a paint code of 72, you can be assured it is a true SS-optioned 1969 Chevelle. If your 1969 Chevelle is Monaco Orange but has any other paint color code or the paint code area has two dash characters (- -) or is blank, then the paint color does not prove it is an SS-optioned Chevelle. In 1969 only, two special colors (72 for Monaco Orange and 76 for Daytona Yellow) were offered on SS-optioned Chevelle 300 Deluxe coupes and sport coupes as well as the Malibu sport coupe, convertible, and sedan pickup. The color code (72 or 76) would be indicated on the Fisher Body Number tag.
