How do you know if your 1970 nova is a true ss?

To determine if your 1970 Nova is a true SS (Super Sport), check for specific features such as the SS badging, a unique grille, and a performance-oriented suspension. Additionally, verify the VIN; a true SS should have a VIN starting with "11427" for the V8 model. Reviewing the build sheet or documentation can also confirm the SS package was included when the car was manufactured. Lastly, inspect for factory-installed options typical of the SS, like a higher horsepower engine and unique interior features.
