They couldn't use the SS door panels because I believe they have SS396 on them (?), which wouldn't match the 427 under the hood.

door panels and trim above clove box were Malibu because, as Marlin stated, the SS cars say "SS396". Same with grill and tail panel - the SS396 emblem could not be used so they stuck a bowtie on the grill and nothing on back. Fender SS emblem was also not used. All other SS trim was used on the outside.

Was the SS badge left on the steering wheel horn cover, like many other COPO Chevelles?

Of the 3 COPO Chevelles that I knew personally when new, ours had the blue bow tie, Ken's had the SS and I believe the third said Malibu. I could be wrong on the third car. Unlike other companies, after '67 GM designed their cars to handle any engine combination that was on the shelf. About the only non standard parts were the ring and Pinion gear set. The COPO Chevelles were all 13637 models, Malibus, as were the SS396 cars. In '69 they were all Malibus with the SS396 or COPO options added. There was very little difference in price between a COPO Chevelle and a similarly equipped L78 SS396. The COPO package cost me $649.00. They were a pretty good deal. Rob describes a COPO car about right.
