SS 396 Registry Submission Form & Disclaimer
All data submitted is compiled for historical purposes only. Anyone with a documented SS 396 Chevelle/Camaro/Nova is encouraged to submit the data requested on the contact form. No owner's name, address, or email account will be published unless they so desire. All personal data of this type will be kept in a database. Anyone requesting such data will have their request forwarded to the current owner on file. If they wish to respond, it will be up to the owner. This site will only pass along the request.
At least one of the following is required in verifying and registering
your 1965 Malibu SS 396 or 1968-1970 SS 396 optioned Chevelle/Camaro/Nova.
For 1966-1968 Chevelles, the VIN itself will identify an SS 396 series.
1. Photo or scan or the original documentation showing schedule date,
VIN, and of course the SS 396 (Z16/Z25) option for Chevelles. Vintage
Vehicle Services documentation showing the VIN and Z25 option is also
acceptable for 1969/1970 SS 396 Chevelles.
2. Photo or scan of the original warranty card (Protect-O-Plate) showing
engine code and VIN.
3. Photo of engine pad showing engine code and partial VIN.
4. Photo or scan of original factory invoice, bill-of-sale, etc. showing
SS 396 option and VIN.
5. If you want a really nice photo in the gallery, photo should be a
digital "out-of-the-camera" image at your camera's highest
resolution.
The VIN and/or trim tag IS NOT verification of any SS 396 after 1968 except 1969/1970 SS 396 Chevelle trim tags from Canada as these trim tags indicate the Z25 option.
Any SS 396 Chevelle/Camaro/Nova submitted without some form of documentation or proof of it being an SS 396 Chevelle/Camaro/Nova will not be listed in the registry.
When submitting photos or scans of your documentation, trim tag, warranty card (Protect-O-Plate) for your SS 396 please be sure the documentation is readable so it can be verified. The documentation is needed to verify the car's VIN and SS 396 data match and, aside from basic data shown in the tables for each year, will be kept confidential and on file for historical preservation.
If you wish to include a photo of your SS 396 for the gallery, the photo should be in 3/4 front view and free from obstructions like children's toys, garage clutter, telephone poles, etc.; something similar to the photo on our home page and be at least 640x480. Larger is OK as I can reduce the size but cannot (with any clarity) enlarge a digital image.
If you have a story on the car, please feel free to include it either as a text attachment or MS Word document.
