The Complete Book of Classic Chevrolet Muscle Cars: 1955-1974 (Complete Book Series)
Chevrolet’s Impala SS debuted early in 1961 along with the 409. Most Super Sports built that first year featured 348 V-8s, as demonstrated here. Notice the absence of an engine badge on the front fender.
A blacked-out grille was again standard for Nova SS in 1969. This model is one of 5,262 Super Sports built that year with the 375-horsepower L78 396 Turbo Jet.
In 1969, the Super Sport package became an option, RPO Z25, available for Malibu sports coupes and convertible, Custom El Caminos, and (for the first and only time) 300 Deluxe coupes and sedans. Disc brakes were included in the Z25 deal.
