The 1966 Malibu SS that I restored was built
in Oshawa Ontario and came factory 283 with a 2spd. They used emblems on the
rear quarters similar to 1965 chevelles.

Basically, yes (IMO) but actually no. The U.s.
built Super Sport was built on the same basic body and chassis but in 66, 67
and 68 the Super Sport was a separate model from the Malibu (138xx VIN as
opposed to the Malibu (135/6xxx VIN); the same way the Malibu was a separate
model from the 300 and 300 Deluxe. The Malibu could be had with a 6-cyl
or a V8 (283 or 327) where the Super Sport came with the 396 engine
as standard equipment.
The Super Sport (also referred to in GM literature as the
SS396 model) carried no Malibu script or badges but many state's DMVs
still classified it as a 'Malibu' or simply a Chevelle.
Are all 66 chevelle super sports
Malibu's? can you have a 66 chevelle ss and have it not be a Malibu?
