Re: [Chevelle-list] vin #numbers
Actually, this is true only for 69 to 72 (with one exception). On 64-68 Chevelles,
the VIN would indicate a SS or not since the SS was a separate model in those years.
The one exception is the 72 Chevelle/Elky with a 454 engine code ("W") in the VIN.
The 454 could ONLY be had with the SS option. Other engines (350-2, 350-4, 402-4)
could be had with the SS option but nothing would indicate it. They could also be
ordered without the SS option.
The VIN plate will tell you 4 things and 4 things only.
1. Model (e.g., Malibu hardtop, 300 sedan, wagon, elky, etc).
2. The model year of the car.
3. The final assembly plant.
4. The sequential production number of Chevelles at that particular plant.
5. In 1972, the VIN would also indicate the engine size installed.
The Body Plate (trim tag or firewall tag) will tell you the approx assembly timeframe,
interior trim level, interior color/fabric, lower and upper paint colors, and for
64-67 (some plants) options, and a couple more minor items.
You might check the machined pad in front of the passenger side head. It should have
the engine suffix code and assembly date, plus it should have a portion of the VIN
such as 0A123456 where "123456" would match the VIN on the car. This match would mean
an original-to-the-car engine and if it's a big block then the car would be a SS for
1970 since the big blocks in 69 and 70 meant the SS option was ordered.

Does anyone know where I might find a sight to figure out what the vin numbers mean on a 1970 SS chevelle. I want to make sure it's a true SS and not a clone. I'm kinda new at this so any help would be greatly apprecheated. Thanks.Dennis
