Scott, Don't rip into the upholstery. If the build sheet is in the seats it will be in the springs under the seat bottom or behind the plastic seat backing (can take off with a screwdriver W/O damaging) They are not between the upholstery and the padding, all else can be visualized from the spots I described. Other places to look. Above glove box. In door panels. In springs of back seat. Above gas tank (usually totally trashed). Under carpeting. There is nothing in the VIN or the Trim plate to prove or disprove a 69 Chevelle is an SS. Now here is the good part. If you have the Protect-O-Plate it will confirm that your car is an SS.
