Yup on the 6. SS was bucket seats, gauges and badges. My dad worked final inspection at the GMAD in Van Nuys for many years. A '70 Camaro SS got written up for low power. It had every available option and a 250 CID six in it, so of course it was weak. It MAY have even had a Powerglide, as they were still available. That would have made it a real dog!
