So you have a SS but is it for real or is it a Clone?
Check your Body By Fisher Plate for the answer if you want to be sure.........
With out going into deep detail you need to look at the Body By Fisher number
plate like this:
Example Body By Fisher Plate:
ST 70 13337 ATL 123456 BODY
TR 755 19 19 Paint
11A
Chevrolet trade mark and
information
Where as:
70 = Model Year
13337 = Style
ATL = Assembly Plant (Atlanta, Ga)
123456 = Production Sequence
775 = Trim (Black vinyl)
19 = Lower Body Color (Tuxedo Black)
19 = Upper Body Color (Tuxedo Black)
11A = Build Date (November, 1st week)
The STYLE NUMBER is a combination of the make, series and body style:
1970 SS – 396/454 are these three numbers: 13637 (2-Dr Coupe),
13667 (2-Dr Convertible)
13680 (El Camino Custom)
1971 SS and Heavy Chevy Options – 350/454 are these two numbers: 13639
(4-Dr Sport Sedan) and 13667 (2-Dr Convertible, 2-Dr Sport Coupe).
The EL Camino is not listed for the SS options, it is listed as Custom: 13680
1972 SS options were available on all models.
The bottom line is if you are paying Big Bucks
for an SS then GET a
SS!
Just because it has SS emblems,
Doesn't
mean it is!
Thanks for visiting Classic Car Parts, I hope you find what you are looking for!
