Not to
start an argument, but the 1969 Service manual I have for mine has a VIN chart
in it that shows whether or not the car is a true SS, or just a Malibu. I
offlined Scott and let him know I'd look in the manual for him tonight after
work. If anyone on here has the manual handy, it should be right in the
front few pages. Maybe I'm (read the service manual is) wrong. John
has alot more knowledge on this, but I thought maybe this was just a slip of the
mind. No hard feelings. Mr. Nasta, sir,
I don't mean to undermine you. (Sarge <---Doesn't want to
anger you, as I will most likely be purchasing from you one day in the
future!)
Well,
like I said, the VIN# proves nothing. Does the serial number on the block
match, and does it have the correct engine for an SS? What does the
protect-o-plate say? Those are the things I would look at before digging
around for a build sheet.

John,
Thanks for getting back to me so quick. It's frustrating getting all the
conflicting info on VIN# breakdowns, etc. Another source told me that you
could not determine whether or not it was an SS or not from the VIN# in 1969
(He said that was 1969 only). He said the only way to prove it was an SS in
1969 was from the build sheet having the "Z 25" code on it. Anyway John, here
is the VIN# 136379A353686, please let me know what you come up with. If you
come to the conclusion that it isn't an SS, could you give me any theory as to
how that happened. The car was driven off the showroom floor with all the
appropriate SS markings and characteristics. When my grandfather bought it
brand new, the dealership sold it as an SS. I'm just looking for a
knowledgeable persons input on this. Thanks again John, I appreciate
it.
Scott
