"Tomato..tomatto, potato..potatto....as long as the SS is there, call it what you like ! ".


Sounds like this is the general concensus and it is a matter of personal preference.

Someone please refresh my memory. If RPO Z/27 designates Super Sport package what is the RPO designation for the Rally Sport package?

Definitely RS/SS. I don't think I've ever heard anyone call one an SS/RS til today...SS/RS? nope, that doesn't even sound right.

It is definitely a Rally Sport Super Sport and a Rally Sport Z/28, as opposed to a standard Super Sport, or just Z/28. The Rally option comes first to designate over the base model. It is descibing what Super Sport or Z/28 it is.

I just took some pics from Chevy's 69 Sport Car Department brochure, and the caption show's SS/RS. I'll post pics a little later.

Be careful as SS RPO's change in different years and models. .
Isn't RS Z-22....for '69 anyway? .
