In 1969, approximately 20,000 Chevelle SS (Super Sport) coupes were produced. This model was part of the second generation of Chevelles and featured various engine options, including the powerful 396-cubic inch V8. The 1969 Chevelle SS is highly regarded among collectors today for its performance and classic styling.
The Malibu was originally a trim package for the Chevelle. It was a step above the base model Chevelle. ALL Super sport Chevelles are Malibu models, but most Malibu models aren't super sports. Chevrolet always referred to the Malibu coupes as "sport coupes" so it was more of a sporty package rather than a luxury package.

In 1961, the Impala SS (Super Sport) was introduced to the market. The Chevelle went out in 1977 during a Chevy downsizing, when all sedans took the Malibu name. since 1961 chevy has halted the production of the SS a few times. chevy made there first car in 1913, it was a 1914 royal mail roadster.
Well, the sport coupe was a 2 door hardtop rather than a 2 door post or 4 door sedan. The Malibu 2 door hardtop is considered to be a sports coupe. While ALL 1970 Chevelle Super Sport's are Malibu's, most Malibu's were not Super Sport's.
