That's simple. If the VIN starts with 117 or 118 it's a real SS. 117 is a 6-cylinder SS and 118 is a V8 SS. Also, don't go by the cowl tag, only the VIN. If the VIN looks tampered with then walk away.
How to ID a real 67 SS ?
What do I look for to tell if a 67 is a true SS ?
Thanks.
Thanks.

For earlier Novas it is different but for 1965 thru 1967 Novas, the VIN breaks down like this:I thought that non-SS V8 cars could also have a 118 VIN? Such as a 67 283 powered Sedan......what about non SS coupes? I am suddenly more confused....I thought the 118 just designated it as a V8?
