I like the earlier Chevelles….before the fast back….like 1966. I had a buddy in Calgary who had the first Beaumont 396 in the city (the Pontiac version of the Chevelle). Four speed, 4:10 gears and man did that thing move. Aztec Bronze with a black vinyl roof and black interior.
Agreed. The 1970-72 body was as good as that era got. The 1970 rectangular taillights were dumb. The 1972 black grill was a giant leap forward from the funny bridge grill on 1970-71. Unfortunately the 1972 engines were inferior
My father had a 68 Chevy Malibu. Also had a 76 at one point. The 76 was slow as **** but it was pretty. I wrecked it slamming into a telephone after the brand new tires lost grip on a slight curve. Somebody told him that new tires have a bit of an oily residue or something. That, coupled with the fact that it had rained a little earlier, probably didn’t help. I took the windshield taste test and got a little scratch on my head. Otherwise, I was fine. I wore my seatbelt every day after that.
Ackstually, I prefer Chynese EVs. Too soon?
The Chevelle is my personal favorite muscle car. Because of its compact size, footprint, and proportion. But that rebuild is a badazzed tweak.

Agreed … the simpler old school look was the best. The ‘look’ betrayed what was under the hood.

If The Carney Clown has his way, we’ll all be driving electric Chevettes in the near future!!! LOL
Let the roasting begin.
