Camarojoe, you sure Camaros also used the "SS396"? I thought Camaros used only "SS" regardless of engine size. Thanks for the help. Bill D

No, I'm not positive on that one... I just know that the chevelle used both SS and SS396... Camaro MAY have only used SS now that you mention it.

Thanks for the responses. I have seen the SS427 ones too. They are pretty tough to find. Are any of the ones I have any harder to find that the others? I have 3 of the SS396 ones and 1 each of the other 2. I also have a generic one that was used on the non SS cars and another one that you may have never seen one of. It has the Canadian maple leaves and is on my Beaumont.

My 68 Camaro SS 396 Unrestored car only had SS on it. It was produced in early may 68.

There is a guy about 50 miles from me that does them. He did a great job at what I think is a reasonable price. He did the steering wheel and shroud for $325 with a 3 year guarantee. I also had him redo two of the shrouds that I posted pictures of. I think he advertises in Hemmings Motor News James James

Here's a pic of a guarenteed un-tampered with '68 Chevelle interior...it has the plain "SS" but that's not to say it's the only correct emblem. I've seen original '68 Chevelles with SS396 emblems on the horn shroud as well. I think it's like the different variations of 396 fender bezels, it depended on when and where the car was built.
