How much is a 1969 Chevy El Camino worth if there is a part on the dash that says Chevelle and also has Malibu written on the dash and doors it has some rust is this a SS?

Answer 1

Answer Not very much as this car has been pieced together from various vehicles. Does it have original rust or is it rust on other parts that have been added on. The reason I ask is that the rust on the older parts will determine the exact age of the parts versus the other parts that were added on. All of this goes to determine a price. But in '69 they made both Chevelle and Malibus. Is it the black interior, brown, or green. Green is not very desirable so that will lower the price by quite a bit because it will have to be died and some new parts added to make it all different. There is a formula that you can use to determine the price of an older car like that. They did come out with about 6 interior colors, red, blue, green, brown, black, & white. With a respective score of 4,3,2,1,5 & 6. With 6 being the highest as white is the most desirable. Then you have to rate the interior as 1 thru 4 with 4 being the best and 1 being the worst. Then you have to take the weight of the car at approx 4300 lbs. Figure a $1 a lb. for a solid car and deduct $10 a lb. for rust. So if you have a rusted out rear quarter and it weighs 40 lbs. and has to be replaced then it will cost around $400 for the quarter. This does not count labor as you have to add another $10 /lb. for that. So to have someone else fix it would cost around $800. Take that figure that you come up with and Square Root it by the fiqure that you have determined by the interior color and this should give you a ballpark figure as to what to sell it for. There is no determination for exterior colors as these usually change anyhow. GOOD LUCK!!

The easiest way to determine if it is a super sport or not is the VIN. Luckily for you, super sports were separate models and had their own VIN codes from 1966-1969, so you can easily tell from the VIN. If this was a '64-'65 or a '70 or later, you wouldn't be able to tell from the VIN alone because the super sport was actually a Malibu option in those years.
