1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS396 | February 22, 2008
Here is my 1969 Chevelle SS396. Since Chevrolet no longer made the SS as a separate model after 1969 but as an “SS” option package RPO Z25, it was much harder to authenticate her true “SS” roots.

The 396 L78 motor punches out an estimated 375hp and all that power is transmitted through a TH400 transmission and finds its way to the ground via BF Goodrich G-Force 275/40ZR17 tires. A Hotchkis rear suspension package helps keep the back end square with upgrades to the front suspension on the drawing board.

So far I have kept the interior stock with just a couple of gauges added for esthetic appeal and I always get comments about how the horse shoe shifter brings back memories.
