Power front discs were included with Camaro SS equipment, required with COPOs 9560 & 9561.

From a reliable source, SS cars could be ordered with manual drum brakes but all COPOs had PWR brakes.

Front drums were available on 68's but not on 69's.

Actually this site is probably the most reliable source you can find anywhere, and these guys are correct... there were definitely no copo OR SS cars with drum brakes in 69. I know of no exceptions.

Very reliable on the 69 info, from this site actually. It wasn't normal but it was possible. NO COPO's (DAMN) but the SS yes. I need an example.

We just got sold of a SS396 Chevelle ordered without disc.

I need an example too... I've never seen a documented factory "disc brake delete" SS Camaro OR Chevelle in 69. Front power disc brakes were mandatory options on both.

Your info source isn't good - you'll look a long time for an example. It was not possible. All Camaro SS's included J52 in 69. There was no way to delete it. http://www.camaros.org/suspen.shtml#Brakes

69 Chevelle - I think that's a different story...
