Some Interesting Chevrolet Camaro Super Sport Facts

Chevrolet Camaro SS Price Specifications

Introduced in 1967 to Compete with the Ford Mustang The Camaro was Chevrolet’s answer to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, and the Super Sport (SS) trim was created as a performance-focused model from the start.

Available with Big-Block V8 Power The SS was offered with several engine choices, but the most famous was the 396 cubic inch (6.5L) big-block V8, producing up to 375 horsepower, giving it serious muscle car credentials.

Came with Performance Upgrades SS models featured upgraded suspension, power front disc brakes (optional), stiffer springs, and SS-specific badging and trim, improving both looks and handling.

The “SS” Badge Became an Icon The Super Sport package introduced the now-legendary “SS” badge, which would go on to appear on a wide range of performance Chevys — from Camaros to Novas to Chevelles.

Distinctive Hood and Exterior Styling The SS models were distinguished by non-functional hood air intakes, special striping, and in some versions, blacked-out grille inserts, giving the car a more aggressive appearance.

Available with Manual or Automatic Transmissions Buyers could choose between a Muncie 4-speed manual or a Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic, depending on driving style and preference.

Popular with Drag Racers and Street Racers Thanks to the available big-block engine and relatively lightweight chassis, the Camaro SS was a favorite on drag strips and in street racing, often rivaling Mustangs and Mopars.

First-Gen SS Only Lasted Until 1969 The SS trim ran from 1967 to 1969 in the first-generation Camaro lineup. The 1970 Camaro ushered in a new generation, with more refined styling and chassis updates.

Often Confused with the RS and Z/28 The RS (Rally Sport) was a cosmetic package, and the Z/28 was built for road racing — but the SS was the true straight-line performance model, focused on raw muscle.

A Highly Collectible Muscle Car Today Original first-generation Camaro SS models are highly sought after, especially those with numbers-matching 396 engines, rare options, or RS/SS combo packages — commanding strong values at auction.
