Check your under trunk lid sticker. It's or the left side. The RPO code for the SS is WX3. You could also make sure you do not see the 9C1 code. But a good forger could duplicate the GM sticker.
Some guys have access to list that list SS VIN numbers.

Well all SSs are a Caprice along with all 9C1s and the taxi (9U6)? models. A couple of SS options I haven't see (yet) in a clone is the Sungate windshield the Vats system and the block heater. All of these have options codes on the Spid sheet. Plus isn't the body mounting different on the SS? I doubt anyone would remove the 2 extra that the 9C1 came with. Do you have the original window sticker? It could be duplicated also but it's just one more reason to believe you have a "factory SS".

Careful about the body mounting bushings. It's true that the SS and the Caprice are missing the 3 front position lower frame bushings, 9C1's have those bushings from the factory, but a lot of SS owners are installing those missing bushings. The springs could also offer clues, Caprices, SS and 9C1 all have different springs. There's a write-up on those at b-body.net

Well i bought the car from a detective in area with 70k on it last year, and he said he got it somewhere around 20 25k with no records and from a dealership..

The trunk code doesn't have 9c1 and does have wx3 but I was wondering any other ways of telling.

Also, I have a wierd popping noise over bumps on the drivers side, is this the bushing thing? or a shock or what??

I hope nothing serious..

E-mail me your VIN. There are a few folks out there (I know them, but am not one of them myself) who have lists of ALL of the real Impala SS VINs, direct from the Arlington factory.

Ask your local GM dealership to do a Spid sheet print out for your VIN. If it has the WX3 as one of the option codes you have a factory SS.

I hope that they changed the rear differential gasket, if it has the factory one in it still and it is around 70k you could have problems around the corner. To be safe, I would do a cheek and see.
