I think that will make things all better.

Not all SS's went to SLP.

The passenger side door will have an SLP sticker listing SLP options if it went to SLP. If there is no passenger side sticker, it just means that it had no SLP options.

I would leave it alone.
Oh really? Even if you ordered no extra options on the car it went to SLP for the hood and spoiler. Every legitimate SS went through SLP's doors.

Man the same thing happend to me when I bought my first Camaro. I bought it at a big time chevy dealer in my home town. It looked like an SS with the hood spoiler and wheels, but what threw me off was that it had cloth interior and it had camaro SS embroidered into the headrests. The dealer window sticker said it was a 98 camaro SS. I didnt know it wasnt an ss until I got on this site and found out how to find the build number. I called SLP and they said "nope, not in the system, probably not a real SS."

Agree - pursue this legally. There is an average $2,000 difference between a Z28 an an SS. That's a nice amount of coin that you got sleighted out of. Let us know when you're refunded the money you deserve!

I completely agree. Sorry to see somebody tried and succeeded to dupe you during the purchase.

No..Doesn't mean anything other than your car along with other SS Camaros started out as a Z28.Just like a Trans Am owner has Formula on thier titles I believe.

If you are unsure as to wether you have a real SS,just look at the RPO codes on your door for WU8.If you have it,you have an SS.If not,then you have a Z28 that looks like an SS.

Hope this helps.
