The SS396 series lasted from 1966 through 1968 before being relegated to an option package in 1969.

Early Atlanta cars are known to have had blacked-out panels but due to demand and costs this practice was stopped at the Atlanta assembly plant early in the production year. It is known many dealers blacked-out the rear cove because the cars sold better. ** The SS396 sport coupe received a new body type designation of "17" due to the new 'strut back' top design.
