Thanks Shadow, the guy i bought it from said there is a stamp under the body and he said there was an R on the stamp that indicated it being an SS. I dont know anything about this or how to confirm but maybe someone here has heard of this?

R does not mean SS on the frame or under the body, not heard that one before. Things to look for are the round guages, 12 bolt rearend, power disc brakes to name a few. If there is a build sheet it would be for an Arlington built car usually under the sound deadner on the drivers side. Some of the other factory assembly plants put them in the springs of the back seat, glued onto the door panel, or like mine on top of the gas tank to just name a few places. Build sheets were never intended to be kept in the car, they were for the assembly worker to put the car together and then throw them away. Stills sounds like you got a great deal and just enjoy the car, Have a great weekend.



Lol

Have a great day

Wow, sounds like you got a great deal whether it's a true SS or not. I paid 4k for mine and it's a base Malibu with 307 and glide and I could easily spend another 1k in just body panels to get rid of rot lol.

ya i checked around and most chevelles in this condition are going for up to 10k. Sadly, I had to list it for sale. My gf is pregnant and I cant afford to keep it and have it restored with a child on the way.

I tacted on a few k to the price, maybe ill make a little money off the good deal I got. I had a guy price it out and he said I could get 9k for it. I would be willing to take 7500-8k. Im just super pissed off I gotta let it go, i was really looking forward to this.
