About This Decode

This VIN does not encode the engine, so the engine details shown are representative of the model as built and not VIN-confirmed. (Most pre-1972 GM VINs do not carry an engine code.)

This VIN decodes to a Chevelle Malibu series — not a Super Sport (SS). The SS used a distinct series code, so SS is not implied by this VIN; any SS-level engines listed were options available across the Chevelle line.
