Chevrolet did not retain any records on combinations of options. This means it is impossible to know how many of any particular series and model came with any combination of options such as how many convertibles were built with a 4-speed and/or a specific optional engine or how many 2-door sport coupes came with a radio.

Options listed with orange bar are not reported but have been found on original documents.

* Figures based on Len Williamson's Tailfins & Bowtie publication.
** 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
================
                     323 396 engines sold not accounted for via RPO Z25
Some have postulated the 323 'missing' 396 engines were due to the 323 COPO Chevelles that were not SS396 Chevelles. But, those COPO Chevelles were shipped with the L78 engines according to build sheets so they would most likely be included inthe 9,498 L78 engines reported by Tonawanda.

*** SS396 color only
**** U14 was only available on the 13427 and 13437 300 Deluxe when RPO Z25 was ordered
(1) RPO A82 Head Restraint pricing was automatically added to both bench and bucket seats prior to January 1, 1969 but could be 'deleted' via RPO AR1. Beginning January 1, 1969 the 'delete' option was eliminated as head restraints became mandatory.
***** Percentage figure may be higher or lower. RPO NC8 did not become an option until GM stopped using the chambered exhaust as standard equipment on L34 and L78 SS396 Chevelles. It is also not known how many base L35 396 engines might have been ordered with NC8 as an option.
