When you run a carfax on an SS does it come up as a z28 or SS?

I am in the process of buying a 30th anniversary SS. When I did the carfax it just said 1997 z28 coupe. Just wondering if it should have said Camaro SS.
Thanks
Brandon

It comes up as a Z28. The SS was simply an RPO code on top of the Z28.

LT1 SSs were made as a Z28 (& poss. some LS1s?), then sent to SLP for conversion. You'll have to contact SLP with the VIN # to verify that it's a "true" SS.

or you can look at the RPO codes in the door to see if it is an SS.

Actually any GM dealership can verify that with just the V.I.N.

well the prolem is that slp cannot find the vin in their computer. The guy says it is a real one, but bought it with 10,000 miles on it. He is supposed to look for the rpo code today for me. Supposed to go pick it up saturday.
Thanks
Brandon
