You may already know this but here's some info.

It's easy to "clone" a 1969-72 Chevelle SS.

Here's some Chevelle info for those not in the know.

From 1964-68 ALL SS Chevelles could be determined by a 138 VIN. Just like the GTO is a 242.

From 1969 on ALL Chevelle SS's were a branch off of the Malibu VIN of 136. The ONE and ONLY way to truly tell and document an SS Chevelle after 1968 is by the build sheet. Chevy doesn't have a PHS service like Pontiac. There are tons of people out there who know how to clone a Chevelle SS but like I said there's only one true way to document it. You MUST have the build sheet.

Trading an SD T/A for an LS-6 Chevelle is a tough one. Both cars are awesome and have a great performance history. Honestly as much as I love Pontiac's I'd probably take a 4 speed LS-6 Chevelle over an SD T/A but I'd lose a lot of sleep deciding on it.

Good luck.
