The year 1969 marked the end of the Super Sport Impala. Due to poor sales Chevrolet eliminated the SS option on all full size cars except one the Impala SS 427. (Impala SS included only the 427ci 4 bbl 390hp V-8 or the 427ci 4 bbl 425hp V-8.) The 1969 Impala SS option ($422) featured new pontoon-bulge fender lines and new "full door glass" which eliminated the vent windows. The SS identification was limited to an SS emblem on the steering wheel in the interior. Exterior identification was limited to a blacked-out grille with the SS lettering in the center and fender and trunk lid emblems. Only 2455 copies of the Impala SS 427 were sold which ensured that this would be the last year of the famed Impala SS. The Impala line would continue sporting the new 454 cid V8 engine for 1970 and surviving well into the late 1970s. But the Impala would never recapture its performance image and became just a luxury full-size car. But in retrospect an impressive 918000 Impala SS were manufactured a true testament to its significance. Prices ranged from $2927-$3465. Weights were approximately 3640-4285 lbs.
