The Chevelle SS became an instant hit with sales of 76,860 units, which accounted for nearly 23 percent of all Chevelle sales. continued... Can My VIN Tell Me If I Have a Real Super Sport?

Starting with the 1969 model year, the Super Sport was no longer a stand-alone model, but rather an option that could be ordered on any two-door platform.
