Actually, yes. ALL super sport Chevelles were Malibu's. From 1966-1969 the SS396 was actually it's own model and had it's own VIN code, but they were still built on the Malibu trim package platform. In '64-'65 and '70-'72 the super sport Chevelles shared the same VIN code as the Malibu, for example, a 1970 Malibu coupe has a VIN code of 13637. A 1970 Chevelle SS coupe has the same VIN code, 13637. The same is true for convertibles and El camino's. So while the '69 SS396 was never actually called a Malibu SS396, technically it IS a Malibu in SS396 trim.
the chevelle ss 396 was the correct name and chevelle Malibu was a separate model of the chevelle.

69 yenko chevelle or the 375 horse SS 396 with the chambered exhaust.
I paid 3369.00 for a brand new SS 396 350 hp in December 1968
Depends.... If it had a straight 6 or a 2 barrel 283, no. If it had a 327, most likely, especially if it has the L-79 (350 HP 327) in it. The first truly fast Chevelle was the 1965 Z16.... It was the first time the 396 was installed in the Chevelle.
6, to 8 degrees, advanced. Advance it as far as you can, until the motor pings on acceleration, or, under load.
the 396 with 325 horse, the 396 with 350 horse and the 396 with 375 horse.
That depends on how you care for it. I have a 1970 Chevelle SS 396 convertible that is in number 2 condition. The value is $115,000.00 not bad for a car that cost $4200.00 new.
That car had two versions of the 396 available. They did make COPO's, with 454's for companies like Nicky, Yenko, and Baldwin-Motion.
