The Wait is Over: NEW 2024 Chevrolet Chevelle 70/SS Takes the Spotlight
The Wait is Over: NEW 2024 Chevrolet Chevelle 70/SS Takes the Spotlight
When the Chevrolet Chevelle Super Sport 454 was released in the 1970s, a new era of powerful muscle cars was born. Sadly, the dynasty of Chevelle muscle cars only lasted for three generations before it was discontinued due to the enormous production costs General Motors was incurring despite the huge success of the Chevelle brand. And while fans have long since questioned the company’s decision not to reboot the hit brand, General Motors has been pretty secretive about any new developments.

For $165,000 I think I would rather get a fully restored 1970 for $75,000.
Good luck with that!
Ha ha, best of luck with that!
The only thing more annoying than these stupid AI narrated videos, is the AI GENERATED videos! Absolutely annoying watching a ridiculous video telling me in broken English, about a new car while showing me clips of another car. 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
Exactly
@@davegerrard6857You can find them all over the place
The old ones still look much better.
100% and they were built 10 times better. 165K is a joke too.
@@typhoonjenkins8330TOTALLY AGREE!!
Yep! The 1970 Chevelle was way sexy!
Absolutely CORRECT my Friend !
Muscle cars of the 60s and 70s I had the cars, I drove the cars, I loved the cars, now they are a fond memory, I'm good with that! As an old man now, my next major purchase in life will be a muscle casket!
you can still have a custom flame job on that casket..
But how fast will that casket go and what is it's horsepower?
How fast it will go is going to depend on the condition of the underground roadways and the horsepower just keeps building as more ponies just keep coming!@@scottcoulter4769
If you die in California, it will need to be a EV.😶

"Without forcing anyone to drive a 40 year old car" The statement tells me everything I need to know. Who in their right mind would have to force anyone to drive anything like a 70's Chevelle SS.
Force, more like beg...
I drive mine daily without if telling myself not too🤣
I got my 69 SS in 78... I was 17! I Still have it ❤
I really hate the computer generated voices on these "English as a second language" sites.
Yup. Sounds like some third world moron bringing their trash culture to America. It’s such an insult to muscle cars especially.
Heard that, Matt. I’d rather read screen text than listen to the robot butcher it’s vocal attempts. They can also dump that background music as well (might as well throw that in while I’m complaining).
@@mightyluvand the channel will give you a heart for criticizing. Lol. These channels are ridiculous.
@@a-a-ron4679you’re right; that clickbait got me again.
No question! "Cah-MARR-OH", "Trans'em"... seriously?
The original Chevelle and Camaro looks way better than the remakes. The big chunk of plastic where the bumpers would have been dose not look very good to me. Still a step in the fight direction. Would love to see some of the awesome sleek body styles from the classic cars brought back.
The old lines are more elegant
Totally agree. The only classic remake that does justice is the Mustang. It just looks right. Everything else to me just look like a ‘free’ cardboard cutout muscle car that would be on the back of Kelloggs Frosted Flakes back in the 70’s!😂
You just cannot beat the looks of the old muscle cars.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing it needs a chrome bumper. The front end doesn't look like a chevelle and I think chrome bumpers would go a long way to toward making it look like a chevelle.
Absolutely agree. Not impressed with this one. I had a '71 SS and once I started watching this immediately was disappointed.
My dad had one of these when I was a kid back in the early 80's. It was beautiful, he kept it covered up in the garage and we only drove it on sunny days and special occasions. He has to sell it when my little brother was born. I've always dreamt of getting together with my brother and buying one like the one he had since I still remember what it looked like. This one is pretty but I think the original was way better.
A good friend of mine had one in high school. We used to go to lunch in hers and we thought we were something. Lol gorgeous cars.!!
You are a very smart, and Good Son ! Please stay that way! 😊
@@SPenny-my4we I am a daughter but thank you :)
Late 60's to early 70's were testament to engineering and styling. To this day (IMO) the 1968/69 GTO was the pinnacle of design.

I'm 81 now and still love these cars. I got out of the Army in late 1964, I went down to my local Chevy dealer and bought a 1965 Malibu Chevelle with 327/350 HP with Muncy four speed and posi-traction. I had the fastest car in my small town for a while. Still enjoy the memories!!!! Sadly I will not be buying one of these!!!
Hello brother. I'm 61 and bought a 68 firebird convertible when i was 16, from my cousin, the motor, 350 big block was swapped to a 69 GTO 400. I was a kid in Cold Lake Alberta. 308"s in the rear end ( high way gears ). I was doing 150 mph as I passed Mitch Emery in his AMX 400. My dad found out I had my sister in the car and I've never heard him so angry with me. Cheers from Cold Lake.
I have a 1966 True 138 Chevelle Super Sport sitting in my driveway right NOW ! Built small block 327 , Forged Steel Vette Crank, 4 bolt main 350 engine block , Forged 12:1 pistons , Ported Heads, Comp cam ,750cfm carb, aluminum intake, Headers, 11 inch clutch , Lakewood Blow Proof bell housing, M-21 Muncie 4 speed trans , 12 bolt posi , pulls both front tires off the ground in first gear , Screams to the moon at 11,000rpm before the valves start to float , Runs 5.5sec@96mph in the 1/8 mile 2004 year Drag Strip is shorter and 660 feet , Not quite sure the actual length but it's called 1/8 mile . But what a blast it is to drive I'm pushing in the 600hp range No , the big block 396 is long gone !
Bet you wish you still had it
@@FrankGreenway, the big block 396 ? Why ? The small block 327 revs faster and higher than the 396 ever thought of doing and weighs 100 pounds lighter . The 396 was only rated at 350hp I'm making 600hp and I just enjoy that scream to the moon , So the answer to your question is NO !
I had a sweet 1970 mercury cyclone that was quick😊
I WILL KEEP MY "70' SS 454"... THANK YOU VERY MUCH👍😎
Smart move.
I’ll keep my ‘71, maybe this will increase the price😂😂
... it's a no-brainer - a new rendition will depreciate faster than bidens mind has 🤣
ROFLMAO! People who can afford a REAL 70 LS6 Chevelle don't try to impress a bunch of clowns on KZhead!
lol too funny @@nemesisxrox6773
1968 Chevy Chevelle SS 396. Best One Ever, in my opinion! 👍
Yes! Totally agree👍
Glad I kept and restored my 70 Malibu even though it only had a 307 and powerglide. They were one of the best designs to ever come out of Detroit.
needs a restomod- i love that GM 3800 series II with the decked block. thats a motor just made for swaps.
Exactly what I kept and restored. Still a fun car to drive.
This Vietnam veteran had me to clone a 70 Malibu to a SS..Money was no object.Turned out to be an awesome ride.He passed away not long after I finished.Wish I would have bought it from his son.Who could nor give a crap about it.70 is the best model.IMO
I purchased a 1970 Chevelle SS396 in early 1970 from the Chevy Dealer in Burkburnett, Texas. It was Midnight Blue, w/white interior, bench seats etc. I installed an 8 track tape (popular in those days) with rear speakers. The price out the door was $3568.00. I sold the car 2 years later for $3000, wish I had kept it.
My dad bought his 1970 Mustang in 1970 for $2900 out the door. It’s still sits in his garage needing some TLC.
"... wish I had kept it." If I had a penny for everyone who ever said that about their car, I could buy a new SS454-70, no problem. lol
I have a 72 Chevelle and took pictures of it at the Lipscomb Chevy dealership in Burk.
My brother lived in Burkburnett he was employed at a GM plant somewhere and now he lives in Wichita Falls Texas.
Jealous guy Fl
Just how many people will be able to afford it. NOT MANY
exactly.
Ya for the cost, you could get a real one for less, and less chips and all the tek crap that the new one has is just crap. I always say, stay old school it will last longer, get the old school one.
Ok, a Firebird from a Camaro, maybe. But a Chevelle from a Camaro? Better to buy an original.
I visited the web site and prices start at…..$165,000.00
Good . I don't want to drive my Chevelle and see one on every corner.
The whole point to a muscle car is that a young high school student working after school could afford a bare bones car with power.
I always liked the 1969 & 1970 Chevelle's but they were everywhere. I wanted something a bit different so I acquired a 1970 Monte Carlo from my brother. It went from being a lowrider without a motor & trans to a daily driver that hauled ass and was a lot of fun to cruise. He installed a tilt-steering wheel, power seat, small block and a turbo 350 trans w/shift kit. The lowrider paint job was really colorful and really busy but it had to go. We got as far as red primer and that was good enough for me. At least it was all one color. With the black vinyl top it looked real mean. It was a good look for a car with a license plate # 342 MOB, hehehe. . . oh, to be 20 yrs old again! Fast forward 40 years. . . my brother owns a beautiful '69 Chevelle. I wish I still had my Monte Carlo or maybe a Hellcat. 😃👹
The working man can't afford it.
Doesn’t look anywhere near as good as the original and is twice the price! They can keep it!
Stop making the new versions of old classics look stupid/ugly. Make them look the same way they did in 1970. That's why people are willing to pay big bucks for them now.
@marblox9300 that's my thoughts about the Challenger. The '70 Challenger was a beautiful car. The new one not so much. That's just my opinion, though. This car is just a barely reskinned Camaro.
Good, you can’t afford it anyways kid.
@@_DB.COOPERhow could you possibly know that?
@@edx21x I know him personally. You see kid, it’s not what you don’t know that gets you in trouble, it’s what you know for certain that’s just not true.
Want that same car, the front end especially! I bet the rear end is not the same.. Sad! Cars back then still look better than cars of today. 😔
For that price tag better off buying an old use one fully restored with a brand new sound system for like 50K -75k
WOW!!165k for this thing is absurd!! I'd much rather have an actual late 60s or early 70's any day!! They can keep this mockery of a great car!!👍🚘
After I got out of the military I actually bought a 70 SS 454LS6 Chevelle from a used car lot for $1750. It was 9 years old and only had 65,000 miles on it. It had the fully functional cowel induction hood with the butterfly. It was all original Cortez silver with the black stripes and a black vinyl top and a turbo 400 tranny. I had it repainted to the original color and stripes. It definitely was a badass. I'm still hating myself for selling it after I got married in order to get a truck. 😪😪😪 What a huge mistake.
It may be priced at 165k but in the end it will be much more
@@robertrussell5948 Yep, I know the feeling in selling my 70 Chevelle SS396.
70s looked a little boxy when released Although I was used to my uncle's 69'ss He ordered wheels all the same size But the morons sent a smaller size for the front Nice 69 has my vote And Cuda over challenger What do you think 🤔 😏 👀 😉 🙂
@@robertrussell5948I would like to know what would you drive nowadays
They would screw it up like the Chevy Blazer
I had a 1970 Chevelle and loved it. 350 Small Block with Headers (or a 454). Automatic or 4 on the floor. The Chevelle body style is the ideal "Muscle Car" flow and it just says "soup me up" and "hot rod" all over it. Some 60's on the front and 50's on the back with Crager rims and maybe even some scavenger pipes just ahead of the rear axle. Maybe even some Flames down the sides OR the standard 2 stripes down the middle. Damn. I'm getting a chubby just thinking about. PS> I have to admit, I loved the head lights etc on the 1969 but the headlights was the last thing anyone looked at on my car.
My dad had a 65 Chevelle Malibu Super Sport. I loved that car , and would give anything to have it back.
Not trying to step on anyone's toes but the front is really massive looking, the old ones looks light and to me more sporty. Each to their own but it's tough to beat the old classics... 😊
Totally agree
Agree. this is what happens when instead of GM designing and building a new Chevelle, a customizing company fits a body onto a Camaro. Adjustments have to be made. It is "Bringing back the Chevelle" in the loosest of terms.
They failed.
I agree. the New Camaros and Challengers look "Cartoonish" with all the plastic and fiberglass. Especially the Bumpers...i like Chrome.
Agree. Even with the angles on the front end it still looks blocky and thick and the painted bumper makes it look even worse.
Why not just seek out a real one and buy it?
Why not let everyone do what they want
I am 71 years old, and it’s hard to believe that less than $4,000 was way over my budget back then, but it was. Considering what the classics are worth today, in some cases, like the Hemi ‘Cuda, going into big debt back then would have been wise. I would have given up testicle for an SS 396 Chevelle back then.
My first car was a 1970 Chevy Chevelle. My mom bought it for me when I turned 16 it was my favorite car to this day. I want to buy the new 2024 Chevy Chevelle now. I can't wait.
I think a company should recreate these classic cars by having them being identical in the outside, but modern, up to date in the interior, as well as modern engine and transmission..
I agree with that or have the option to put a carbureted engine in there too if people want
@@arcticwolf8150 yes, a fully customizable car, except for the shell
And minus the computers that are making all cars disposable.
Sadly they cant due to safety regulations
You would think they would do it, its so simple but they are just to smart .... and have to figure a way for that 160k price tag...
Looks like a new Camaro from the side. It's ok. The best looking retro car made to date is the Challenger. That's coming from a Chevy fan.
So true. I m a chevy fan also, and I cant say like the new camaros at all
@@buckmclean8391 I don't like them either. They look ok from the front or back but there is too much side metal and the roof line is too low. Sucks trying to see behind you.
Too bad it's a Dodge and heavy as hell.
I will say though, Chevy hit a home run with the current Camaro, vision issues aside. The chassis and steering feel are phenomenal. You could trick me into thinking I was driving a German sports car. I constantly rent cars for work, and I get Challenger R/T’s, Mustang GT’s, and Camaro V6’s. While the engine isn’t as nice as the V8’s in the Mustang or Challenger, the chassis makes both of those cars feel like floating 1970’s Crown Vic.
To me the Challenger looks like a duster with a facelift
Since I owned a 72 SS Chevelle I can't wrap my head around the body of this new one. I had to sell that car since I got too many tickets and lost my license for my entire junior year in HS. I sure wish I had kept it.
See you still can make good looking cars. Even though I can't afford one.
There is nothing like the muscle cars of the late 60's and early 70's they had so much character. Miss seeing them on the road.
I love my 67 Camaro...but i much prefer to drive my skyline, or even the wife's RX8. The body roll, stiffness, and rawness doesn't feel as nice as it did when i was 22 😂
I got my 69 Z/28 out yesterday and drove around town. Washed her, filled the tank, and met my Wife for lunch. The looks you get. The "Thumbs up". The conversations when you stop somewhere. Priceless.
Yup definitely
What made them cool is they were affordable.
They are badly overpriced now though.
I had a 1969 Chevelle SS-396 Triple Black Imron, and the motor was built by a drag racing friend, 550-HP. I miss that car. 👊😎
You got to have close to 1000hp or over to win a race on the track these days 😅
I bet you do. Those were such great cars. Very practical as a daily driver and grocery getter.. Large enough to be comfortable on long trips with a lot of luggage. Powerful enough to have a lot of fun. I had a 1972 Olds Cutlass S. Great car.
@@orwellknew9112 wish they would just bring back the classic replicas, that are modernized with fuel injection Led instrument panels 😅 I hate the fact that they try to reinvent the classic's. The modern GTO makes me want to throw up 🤮
I had a '69 SS 396 that was body off restored back in 1988... man do miss it... marina blue, black int. Hurst 4 speed Muncie M21 with posi... I got a lot of attention at 16 from the popo 🫠
Why don’t they just get the blueprints for the original and make that again with minor adjustments and sell it for a affordable price?
I’ll take the original. My buddy has one and it’s a BEAST! Growls like an angry dragon.
The looks of the ‘69 and ‘70 are just breathtaking. Not digging the front end of this new one for some reason, but that’s just my opinion.
It’s like the new Bronco that doesn’t even look like the old ones inspired it
Agreed, it reminds me of an old station wagon front end 👎👎
That is why I bought a 2018 because the goofy 2020 - 2023 front end flaps were almost universally disliked. I traded my 2020 RS for my current 18 SS with 13k.*I mean 13k on the odo.
Yep, it looks lousy.
It reminds me of the truckster in the Nat'l Lampoon movies' front end....
Just bring back my 71 Chevelle without all the electronics of today's cars and I'll buy one.
And stop making the new versions of old classics look stupid/ugly. Make them look the same way they did in 1970. That's why people are willing to pay big bucks for them now.
@@marblox9300 Imagine the exact look of the 1970-72 Chevelle with modern insides.
There was nothing wrong with the 1970s insides. Just a modern radio is all you would really want.
@MS-ns2pj agreed. The new one looks terrible.
@@marblox9300 I’m thinking modern suspension, brakes, handling, fuel efficiency, amenities, etc.
I love it !! Bring back the older body style with new modern engines and modern electronics !!
What I'd like to see is chevy or ford even chrysler authorized a second company to build replicate cars of the classics the same way factory five did for shelby, but build them to original factory specs and sale as a specialty or novelty car with up to date safety features, and buyers could just buy an existing crate motor or built their own, with most classic muscle cars, it's the condition of the body and frame, which is rare to find one that isn't suffering from some level of rust, rot decaying sheet metal. I think that would be better than trying to recreate something that barely resembles the original.
This is just what we all wanted….a new chevelle that has a starting price of 160k dollars.
Makes sense, to me. ??? 😨😨😱😱😱 🥴🥴🥴
For that kind of money this car better be perfect. I saw the price on our re-issue mustang and the price was $200,000. Most people cannot afford to spend that kind of money.
Only the rich will be able to afford it 😮
Get a job!
@@_DB.COOPERGET FIVE JOBS ,🎉
I’ll believe it when I see it. There’s been a modern Chevelle coming for years. There’s always just that one prototype and nothing more. I’ll believe it when I see it at dealerships.
Crazy how they went from an original price of about $2500 to $165K
Enormous production cost ?! The basic salary of GM CEO is $ 29 million per year .
Damn
Nah, her basic salary is $2.1 million. She has incentives that increase that amount for total compensation. GM did $169 BILLION (that's a B) in revenue last year. Anyone running a $169 Billion company deserves $29 million. They've increased revenue by leaps and bounds under her leadership.
So, become a CEO!
Let’s see if they get more money and a 4 day work week… oh their job is oh so hard. I guess if everyone were in a union… bread would be $20.09 a loaf Gas prob $39.00 a gallon etc etc etc

@bultacowally ... and triple their $$$ invested in each one they sell off which will no sooner depreciate faster than bidens mind has. There's always an arse for every seat like one mans turd is anothers golden dream come true.
The original was and still is better looking and you can restore them with as many add ons and upgrades as you want, electronics, powertrain, interior etc. As you want. Plus, they are actually cheaper to restore than to buy new especially if you can do some of the work yourself. New cars are way too expensive because they have to pay rediculous wages to the union labor to make them.
This car is nice and rather stunning, but to me the Chevelle SS will always be the very first one I saw back in the 60's and fell in love with.
For me, it was the 67 Chevelle SS. I remember the local dealer had one that was blue with a black interior and a 396/ 4speed. I fell in love, but was 17 at the time and couldn't afford one 😢.
Love the 70's Chevelle SS. If I were in the market, I'd look for a nice 50 yo version.
That would be sweet but if I was in the market, I would buy a 1965 Pontiac GTO with the 389 tri-power V8, 4-spd. trans, and the 3.73 gears. If that wasn't quite enough car, I'd upgrade that engine to a 421 or 428 Pontiac engine. 😈
...or you could get brodix or dart heads for the 389 and build a REAL motor@@edb3877
I would buy an original matching numbers 396 70 SS. I purchased a 94 1/2 mustang convertible when new. 1 of 1000 and Ford said they were only making it that year for their 30 year anniversary, 26k sticker with 4 k premium, the very next year Ford made them again. The value never went up. These cars now are for high end collectors that want to hang out together bidding at auctions swapping cars. I’m glad I grew up in the 70’s.
The 1st car I ever owed was a '69 Chevelle Malibu convertible, purchased as an 8 yo car for 800, very clean 80k on odom.. Came with a smokey 307 and a BW 3 speed stick. I promptly installed a 350/350 4 bolt, backed with an M-22. It burned up in a fire. I stood on a nearby rooftop as the firefigher hacked away at the trunk lid. I told the firefigher next to me 'You know, I have the key for that.' He responded "Nah, he's having too much fun." The end... If I win the lottery, I'd favor a resto over the '24. But it is sweet. Perhaps I'd get both. The original would be a requirement
The price is absolutely crazy. It doesn't have to be that high. I would just get a 70 model it is a lot cheaper. Insane Price !!!!!!!
Visually suffering through this video made me realize how lucky I was to have grown up during the muscle car era! And now I'd like to take a moment to thank all North American car designers NOT involved in creating this eyesore!!
it looks pretty good though, not as good as the original of course but they did a good job in my opinion.
@@burdman5620 How high are you? This thing looks like an offbrand matchbox car that made it's way into a hydraulic press

@@2015ChevyBigBlock That my 1969 RS SS Z28 that I own and built when I was 16 is a better car than yours will ever be, grandpa. This new "Chevelle" is an atrocity. I promise you without any regard I have driven more cars of this era that were all fully restored than you could ever dream of. I have been fortunate enough to be around 30+ brand new 1970 LS6's and even more 1st gen Camaros. Anything you can possibly think of in that latter part, 327's, 350's, 396's, and even 427's.... not just a COPO steel block also a ZL1 Aluminum block.. plus some big motor swaps. I daily drove a 502 Hugger Orange '69 when I was in highschool frequently. When the new generation Camaros came in stock at a local GM dealership I had to drive about 5 different promo 1st gens in to sit out for promotion for them (owner was a family friend). One of their salesmen tried to trade me for my car and I laughed... just like I would if you tried to trade me your "15 Z28 LS7". None of us were hating on the origin of the Chevelle, we were hating on the absolute ruined design of them in the same facet that they ruined the Camaro when it was brought back (mind you, your model is less atrocious than the initial 2009 series). If Mopar can figure out a way to make the Challenger an absolute badass beast that looks the part to it's roots, then what is GM's problem? I'm assuming I was 1 of the 2 members who you were referring to here, if not apologies for the long comment, but if so I'd say you can step off of your pedestal, sir.
It was exciting to watch until they gave the final price. I guess just the multi millionaires can afford the retro cars. Not the average day hard-working American.
At 16 years old in, 1974, I bought my first car, 1969 Chevelle for $900. Second car was 1972 Pontiac LeMans for $800
" I concur. It will probably cost you about a $500+ bucks to change the oil and possibly another liquid like the Mercedes or Dodge vans. Two liquids to change just to change the oil. I'm with you pal. I'll stick to the older muscle cars!
With that front end, if you put a set of studded snow tires on the back and lowered the air pressure in the front tires you could plow snow with it.
Now that got me chuckling! Kinda like a vehicle out of the movie Death Race 2000 or the remake years later!
That looks like a redesign, a remodel of the old model. "The builders at Trans Am Worldwide have worked diligently to revitalize this classic muscle car with modern-day standards. Built off the new sixth-generation Camaro base, the designers have reshaped the exterior to pay homage to the classic '70s model." I could be wrong but that's not a production line General Motors product made from scratch like they used to do it. That's a Camaro with a revitalized Chevelle shell on it from Trans Am World. To each his own. I'll pass. Click bait.
That’s all it is. This page is bullshit just like the fake car in the video
When I was a kid my dad had a fire engine red 72 Chevelle with two black stripes down the middle, naturally he totaled it.
OMG 😮 $160k plus 😢. .. I purchased a 2 door GTO 389 tripower standard in mid seventies for $1150 which I still own .. Midnight blue with an all white interior .. It was a gift to a highschool buddy who sold it to me cause he didn't like the white interior .. Boy was his parents furious 😮 ..
In my opinion the styling of the 1969 Chevelle was far superior to the next year’s more ‘boxy’ style. I always thought the stance of it looked like it was growling even if it was parked. I feel if you are going to redo the car you should concentrate on the whole feel of it, at least make it bigger than the Camaro (as in the good ol’ days) and bring back the chrome. Bumpers, door handles, stainless trim around wheel wells, windows etc. That’s what defined the era.
Totally agree! 69 is by far my favorite year for the Chevelle. The look from the side of the car is perfect. The way the grill wraps around and slashes down gives it that shark mouth look and the way the quarter window (looks great rolled down!) comes to a point, fits this car so well. I also dig the interior too (in all black)
Agree to disagree about the 69 versus the 70 body style. Of course, I am no doubt biased as I owned a 70 for a few years. 😊
67 is the more boxy stlye
I completely agree, my first thought was that it was kinda blocky looking.Specially the front end.
I agree but the '69 Camaro is just over produced. Chevy might as well make some money and just make '69 Camaro's.
The original was always my favorite car, glad to see its return and prices are insane though on all vehicles.
What is reliving your lost manhood worth?
@@jamesvandamme7786I don’t buy toys and at 54 I’m much better in that dept than most men. I give my money to those around me that need help. Like the car like better though what I do in life.

@@jamesvandamme7786 alot more than 2 failed marriages and losing 1/2 each time.
I 'ACTUALLY' saw a 67,68 or 69 very nicely restored Chevelle , back in the early to mid Nineties around 2 a.m driving thru Alabama ' The Beautiful ' heading towards a Construction Job site. I just looked ..... The Chevy brought back memories of MY sixties, stationed at Camp Lejeune, where you could buy a brand new one for a little over Three Grand. My Brother in law had a 67 Chevelle that got away from him and ended up on the front porch and thru the Living Room Glass, which was about seven or eight feet above street level ..... Memories, " Those were the Days - My Friend " ? Tks., much appreciated
They are super nice! But the price is totally crazy NO WAY!
The Chevelle was one of my all time favorites! Sad to know I'll never be able to own one! Bring back the good ole days!!!
One of the guys in my high school, "Class of 76" had a 1970, red Chevelle SS with the 454. It was a beast. And, back then, it looked like it had just rolled out of the factory and he kept such good care of it. I haven't talked to him since we graduated and I wonder if he still has it.
@@alsmith919 , all I remember is that he went to work for Coca Cola as a truck driver when we graduated. But, I, too, have often wondered if he still has that car.
If he got married, it's likely long gone...most people don't hang on to cars like that...once they start making a little money, they sell it for a car with better fuel economy & more modern conveniences... marriage will shorten a car like that's lifespan too... especially when kids start showing up...The longer it's been since high school, the less likely he is to have the car...
@@Road_Rash , I would imagine so. Like my high school Charger. None of us knew what they would be worth one day. You could buy them unbelievably cheap back then
I think that you need to track him down. We're all on the edge of our seats.
I still have my '68 El Camino that was my first car, but it no longer runs & is in need of a complete restoration, which will be started as soon as I'm done with my '69 C10, but I never had a wife telling me to sell it, or kids that I'm aware of, so it was easy for me to just park it & hang on to it until I could do something with it... but most people, especially back then, didn't see their vehicle as anything that was worth keeping... when they're common, who cares? It's just a car... but then later, when they become uncommon, it's always the same story, 'I used to have one of those. Wish I'd never sold it'... but now, 40 years later, I don't have to say that, because I still have mine... biggest problem is people have been trained by society to want new stuff all the time... don't restore that old beater, just buy a new one... so people tend to view vehicles as disposable...you don't have to look ol boy up on my account, I'm pretty sure I already know how that conversation will go...'Hey, you still have that red 454 Chevelle you had almost a half century ago?' him: 'Well, a couple years after highschool...'
Had a 69 Chevelle...beat to crap but still the favorite car I have ever owned. Classic lines.
If they're going to bring back the Chevel Super Sport, then don't change it. The Camaro being the inspiration for Trans Am is a different matter both being back to back contemporaries , bringing back a car after more than 50 years is a different matter.
Agreed. This isn't a "New Chevelle"... It's just a heavily made over Camaro
You are so right how many people are going to Buy it ! To much money for the normal person ,who could not afford this car . I still love this car . 😊
There's a waiting list for people to pay $90,000 plus for a new pickup truck or a Vette so there will be no shortage of buyers for this car! The AVERAGE car payment is over $1,000 now!
The 1 thing there not talking abt is the krazy price of the trans am Chevelle, the powerful 2024 Chevelle is Lamborghini money
I discovered a '69 COPO Camaro ZL1 abandoned in a corn field with a tree growing out of the trunk. It had 31,000 miles & was in horrendous shape in & out due to being abandoned there. About 200 ft away was a barn it could've been in. It turned out the owner was asking $35,000 for this numbers matching junk, not including excavation or towing. That plus proper restoration would've well exceeded $100,000. I let it be.
I had a 72 Chev SS...The only thing I wish I would've kept it till now...I could have got twice as much money for it.😢
At $165-200K a pop, I really see them selling a boat-load of them…lol.
😂
ROFLMAO Where did you get those numbers? A Z06 Vette or Caddy CTS-V aren't even close to your numbers! Even at $100,000, this car is a bargain, since it will probably run 11s of the showroom floor & has a top speed of 200mph & handles like a race car!
Very teenage male in the 70s fell in love with this car. A modern version with modern brakes and tyres, but limited electronics would be awesome. PS; A front midengine 2+2 with modern suspension would be insane. A little last minute dreaming.
COME ON! For those prices at least make it look authentic. And add chrome bumpers at least for an option. I'm SICK of half plastic cars and fully plastic bumpers
My sister first car in 1984 was a red with black stripe 1970 Chevelle SS 396 convertible , and told my Dad she hated it...
I had a 70 ss 396 back in the day bought it brand new only gave 3800 for it I’m 73 years old no way I could afford what they want for it now kinda ridiculous
They can’t even pronounce “Camaro” right 😂
At that price it is almost as much as my house when I bought it 20 years ago. As my house has gone up 150% and is now worth $500,000 why has the cost of a car gone up more than a house? I can't live in the car. I agree with the other comments that I would rather spend $ 70 - $80K for a fully restored '72. I wish I stilled owned the 1972 Chevy Chevelle Malibu SS I owned in the early 80's. I guess they don't care about the middle class only the rich can buy these.
Friend of mine in High School 1979! Had a 1971 Chevelle SS with a 327ci Engine! It still had some get up and go! Just like the Black and White Stripe on the hood you keep showing! Talk about major fun flashbacks!🖤🤍🙏🏻
I had a buddie In Highschool He had a 71 SS with a 454.Had AC too.That was one bad ass car.He actually broke the chassis under the passenger seat from doing to many burnouts showing off.It had the intake with a sideways sitting holley on it.Candy Apple Red with white stripes.White interior.Dumb ass got married and sold it cheap.I love to give him a hard time about it. His marriage didn't last 5 years .
@@spudnickjquesanar1678 The SS would have last forever!😂🤘🙏🏻
My first car, brand new 70 Chevelle SS, classic copper, 4 speed, cowl induction, headers, thrush mufflers, Mickey Thompson cheaters. Still wish I had it in my garage.
Owned a 1970 Chevelle back in the day. Loved that car! It was not an SS, but had plenty of power and an awesome ride. Pretty sure the red SS with the black stripes you were showing was a 1973, not 1970. The new model does not favor the old enough to interest me. And I paid about a fourth of the price for my house. Would never spend that much money on a car even if filthy rich. Enjoyed your video nevertheless. 😊
1972 is the last year of this generation of the SS Chevelle
Yeah sorry but the 73 was a boat. So it was not a 73.
I owned a 1973 Vette L-48 190 HP 270 foot lbs torque. Yuck
The red shown was a '71. I had one of those. In '72 the front turn signals were a one-piece design instead of two and the grill was slightly less attractive.
@@PocketChangeInspector Thanks for info! Just knew it wasn't a '70 model. I'm a '57 model so my memory is not the greatest. :)
They show so many different variants in this video that I don’t know which vehicles they are highlighting. Very confusing.
They all come with a manual transmission option, that's all I needed to hear. I'm sold
For 165k I'll go check out Maple Motors first.
The 70's model Chevelle is probably my favorite car. This new reimagined version looks ridiculous. And you're not going to get 1,500 HP out of an engine without a massive super charger hanging out the hood.
Just another ICE car. I’ve been looking for that classic silhouette EV. The best of both worlds.
67 GTO convertible here. My first car.
I give it a 👍.. and 5stars for offering it in a manual transmission.
I for one fully support bringing back how cars used to look in the 50s-70s.
I used to have a 1970 SS 454 Monte Carlo. Bought it from the original owner in 1982 with 55K miles for $5K and sold it a week later for $6K and thought I was quite the bigtime wheeler-dealer.
Dear Whoever! We want chrome bumpers...
Reminds me of my 1972 Chevelle, especially the green one, although mine was repainted a dark metallic green with a mint green half-vinyl top. The grill was changed to a tubular one and the front bumper was reinforced to prevent the typical nose of it from pointing upwards if someone backed into it in a parking lot. No performance engine either, just a standard 283 CI with some chrome attributes, standard wheels with beauty rims with center caps. (I had planned on changing the center caps to Baby Moons at one time.) The Interior was green vinyl bench seats, AM radio, with one back seat speaker for the Mickey Shore Reverb addition.
A 283 surely wasn't the original engine.
'center caps' and 'dog-dishes' are two different things.
Well, at that price, there will not be one in my garage! That is crazy...
my brother bought the phantom green 69 chevelle ss for $3200.00 brand new off show room floor had a muncie 4 speed shifter. 411 rearend i believe. beautiful car.
Hope they do this with the Impala. Because I hated that they cancelled the Impala. My family had one but my dad sold it.. unfortunately.
So they are trying to get rid of the Chevelle then the Camaro. What's next the Malibu. Why don't you all just bring back the Impala and the citation too. Shoot just declare bankruptcy...😢😮. I miss the Impala 😢. That was my family's car..a tradition. That sucks. Maybe I should switch to Ford..at least they still have the mustang.
i think im gonna go with the 1500 hp in my dreams!
This is what we want!! Old school style with all of the comforts of today!! STOP THE INSANITY OF EV!!
get rid of the democrats if that’s what you want. otherwise ev’s will be shoved down your throat.
That car could be an EV and blow this version out of the water. Do you pine for an old black dial-up phone? Time to move on.
Those old phones were quite remarkable if you understand a lot about them, I threw mine out years ago because I saw no use for it. Big Mistake on my part now that I'm a Senior. I would love to experience that feeling on my shoulder again. There was muscle memory in those dials@@jamesryan7684
@@jamesryan7684 I still use an old phone and landline. Electricity in my state comes from only wind and solar. Everytime the Electricity goes out around here, which is quite often, the cell phone people can't make a call. But my landline still works fine.
Insanity of EV? I suppose it’s not insane to keep burning fossil fuels so you can perpetually live in 1972, yeah okay. I bet you insulate your home in asbestos too.
The color they chose on the unveiling makes it look kind of bad but other colors make it look a lot of better.
been hearing about "the new chevelle" for over 20 years now , yet to see it !
