2014 Chevrolet SS Brochure
In its final year on the American market, the 2014 SS arrived as a right-hand-drive-only variant destined for Australian and New Zealand dealers—a surprising pivot that underscored Chevrolet's retreat from the U.S. performance sedan segment. The 6.2-litre LS3 V8 producing 415 horsepower remained unchanged, but this model year marked the end of a nameplate that had defined Ameri

By 1967, Chevrolet's SS range arrived as a direct counter to Pontiac's GTO—the car that had sparked the muscle car wars just two years earlier. Under the hood sat a 396-cubic-inch V8 capable of 325 horsepower in base tune, with hotter iterations pushing toward 375 hp for buyers willing to tick the right boxes. The package combined that raw displacement with a chassis designed t
