What year Chevy was the last "Super Sport"?

Was it the '69 Impala? According to dealer sales folders, what was the last "Super Sport" not "SS".

Hmmm...I thought "SS" is "Super Sport". Is there a difference?

It's my understanding that all SS models are Super Sport.

That's the latest year probobly that was a Super Sport. I think the SS454 Monte's were not "Super Sports", just SS454's.

The SS on ANY Chevrolet stands for Super Sport.

The "RS" nowhere is stated that the camaro has a "Rally Sport" package in the camaro line-up. Of course, the last RS called a Rally Sport was in 1980.

Just want to know what was the last model year chevy-any model-was called "SUPER SPORT" in the factory-issued literature. It has never been called a Rally Sport Super Sport in the 5th gen Camaros.
