The Chevelle SS is out of contention for the "best" muscle car between 1964 and 1972 for two reasons: no cool song about it, and no prominence in a cool movie back then.
It doesn't help that Chevy also offered the Camaro SS, the Impala SS, and the Corvette.

1966 chevelle SS 396 ... Yeah, good choice... but I think the 1965 version is the one that best fits the size/weight/engine displacement sweet spot for the musclecar category. Back then, each body revision made mid-sized cars larger and heavier. The '65 396 was re-engineered pretty extensively to accommodate the big block's power, but it was still a small, relatively light package. Much like the early GTO.

“1966 chevelle SS 396 ...”
My Dad bought one brand new. $3,600. Got a deal on it because it was green. Back then no one wanted a green car.

1966 chevelle SS 396 I drove a Chevelle SS396 in my younger days …great ride. However, for sheer power the 1970 Chevelle SS454 had no equal. I worked as a timer at a drag strip in the early 1970s and a straight stock Chevelle SS 454 was easily capable of running a quarter in the mid 12 seconds
