1976 Chevrolet CCL246S177060

Record at a glance

VIN: CCL246S177060
Year: 1976
Make: Chevrolet
Model / series: C20 pickup; Bonanza 20 badge photographed
Assembly plant: S — St. Louis, Missouri (VIN on photographed GM labels)

Evidence status

Verified exact VIN and weight ratings from photographed GM loading and federal certification labels. A Bonanza 20 badge supports visible presentation; without a VIN-matched SPID or build sheet, factory Bonanza package content and Spirit of ’76 identity are not established.

Factory documents

The photographed metal GM loading plate and federal certification label both repeat CCL246S177060 and report 6,400-lb GVWR, 3,500-lb front GAWR and 4,120-lb rear GAWR. The certification label dates manufacture to 04/76. No SPID, build sheet, invoice or factory option document was pictured.

Physical vehicle evidence

The auction gallery shows a Bonanza 20 fender badge and a brown/tan interior without visible Spirit door-panel treatment. The badge establishes a surviving presentation, not an independently verified factory package code or original installation.

Owner or seller statements

Purple Wave item EQ1453 reports 33,166 displayed miles and explicitly says actual mileage is unknown and unverified. The listing calls the truck a Bonanza 20; no photographed option label establishes its factory package level.

Later research

Purple Wave offered the truck in Collinsville, Oklahoma and reports a $5,830 contract price at the June 4, 2025 auction close. That dated listing location does not establish present ownership or location.

Open questions

Recover a VIN-matched SPID, build sheet or invoice to establish factory option and Bonanza package content; verify badge originality, lifetime mileage, and current custody. No Spirit of ’76 identity is established.

Vehicle identity and evidence

Purple Wave item EQ1453 identifies VIN CCL246S177060. The archived gallery photographs both a metal GM loading plate and a federal certification label with this VIN. The certification label dates manufacture to April 1976; both labels report 6,400-lb GVWR, 3,500-lb front GAWR and 4,120-lb rear GAWR. A visible Bonanza 20 fender badge supports the surviving presentation. No SPID, build sheet, invoice or option document was pictured, so the factory Bonanza package level and option content have not been established.
