School me on SS427s!

I guess I do not understand the conversation then. To me, a Camaro RS, SS, Z/28, etc. are all different models based on the same body style. So yes, I believe a SS396 Chevelle is its only model. Also, I believe a Impala SS and Impala SS427 are both their own separate models.

Is a Camaro SS a Camaro V-8 with the SS package? Certainly! Yet we don't often say it's a "Camaro with the SS performance package." Ditto with the GTO Judge.

So what about the SS396 Chevelle from 1969? I suspect they made it an option available on numerous Chevelles due to the Plymouth Road Runner . . . but it still doesn't answer why it became an option package instead of continuing as a model with more bodystyles available.

Paul, I'll be back to address your response later.
