As far as being a SS. I do not belive that after 68 there was a different vin (138) than the plain cars.
If the build sheet is there check for L-78 deleted for copo 9562 Also check for the 9737 Sports car conversion. Also make sure if claimed to be a copo that there are no SS badges on the dash or door panels and check for KQ rear. If equiped with fact. guages should be a 6000 redline.

You're right, there's nothing on the body tag or VIN that will confirm a '69 Chevelle's SS status, unless it happens to be an SS only color of 72 Monaco Orange or 76 Daytona Yellow. Look for power disc brakes in front, as they were included with SS. Also, look for 12 bolt rear, big block radiator, filled in Malibu quarter emblem holes, stuff like that. These aren't iron clad signs of a true SS by any means, but it's a good place to start. Good luck, hope you've found yourself something cool.
