Story
The 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 350 was the mainstream Super Sport path: the Z27 package with Chevrolet's L48 350-cubic-inch Turbo-Fire small-block rather than a Z/28 302 or SS396 big-block. Camaro Research Group lists the SS L48 separately in its 1969 visual-identification table, with the 350/300 hp L48, SS 350 emblems, D90 striping, power front disc brakes, multi-leaf rear springs, and the SS hood or optional ZL2 cowl-induction hood. This page keeps that SS 350 identity separate from the more famous Z/28, COPO, Yenko, and SS396 branches.
The strongest production anchor comes from CRG's engine report: L48 production was 22,339 for 1969 Camaro, with a note that the earlier 295-hp L48 rating became 300 hp in 1969. The CRG options list also records Z27 as the 1969 Super Sport package, with the base Z27 engine identified as L48 and 396 engines optional. That makes SS 350 a factory Super Sport page, not a downgrade or a visual-only trim story.
The driveline record is intentionally nuanced. CRG's 1969 table lists MC1 heavy-duty three-speed, M20 four-speed, M35 Powerglide, and M38 Turbo Hydra-Matic 350 coverage for SS L48 cars. Rear-axle evidence is more complicated: CRG notes GM documentation and observed physical evidence do not always agree for LM1/L48 automatic cars, and early L48/M35 cars generally received 12-bolt axles while later builds could receive 10-bolt multi-leaf axles. This page therefore records the axle architecture as source-qualified and car-specific rather than pretending one axle answer fits every SS 350.
Visually, the SS 350 belongs to the 1969 SS family without borrowing SS396-specific cues. CRG records SS 350 emblems and D90 striping, while the SS396 tailpanel blackout is explicitly a big-block marker. The paint and interior sections use GM Heritage and Macswebs/CamaroWorld references for model-year color and trim context, but individual paint and interior claims still require cowl-tag, paperwork, and restoration evidence. The gallery uses exact-year Camaro SS context and source cards so public imagery supports the record without turning representative photos into proof.
