Back in the eighties I owned a 1964 chevelle SS wife a big block in it a four speed transmission and 4/11 rear end,bad to the bone,but of course it came out with a small block in it but I didn't mind one bit,man I wish I still had that candy apple red car!!!!!!Ahh the good old days!!!!!!!
I restored a black 65 z16 for Kevin Whitaker Chevrolet,sold for
$ 279,000 in 08 at Barrett Jackson.
Looks like one on video at beginning.
Glory to God
Jeffrey Merrill I grew up in that era & met a guy at a car show in Georgia they had 3 of the Z16. Had them all in a large car trailer. When he opened it up & saw them I could no believe it.
When I was 12 my dad looked at a '58 Yeoman with the 348 with 3 2 barrels and Three on the Three. We had a Kansas City built '65 230 with the Three on the Tree.
The Greenbrier and its Corvair labeled variant are pretty rare vehicles. That red one is a beaut.
Ewie M … I have a 64 Corvan 95 panel van and a friend has a 62 Rampside. The rare part about both is they are 4 speed stick, while most were either 3 speed stick or 2 speed auto. Last I looked they only made like 8,500 Corvans with a 4 speed in 64, out of around 35,000 total production.
Obscure maybe, but not forgotten - those few Z16 Chevelles have been sought after by go-fast guys ever since they left the dealer lot!
I was hoping to see a '68 or '69 Caprice on here with the hidden headlights. Now THOSE are classics.
Do not discount the Chevrolet Biscayne, arguable the biggest sleeper muscle car ever, and especially its 1964 to 1969 varieties.
@@paxhumana2015 I wonder what the difference was between the Bel Air and Biscayne.
Didn't mention the Cosworth Vega
🏁🏁Love those 1965 Chevelles . My Chevelle was a beautiful maroon color.🏁🏁
Wayne I had a 64 Malibu SS & a neighbor had a 65 SS Chevelle maroon color 327/350 hp & had it “sitting up” with El Camino suspension . I loved his car & have loved 65s ever since!! So time ago I read an article about a 65 Chevelle maroon with the 327 L79 package (Wow)! The good old days!!!!
It's nice to see some "Not so good" old Chevys :) nice finds of the Yeoman and Kingswood wagons
Love the 73-74 laguna with the 454!
Right on Christopher that one was breathtakingly beautiful
Slug version of the 454"... no HP... no MPG... but fixable with some parts...
I had the 1973 laguna I bought brand new it was a great car
1965 Malibu SS. My absolute favorite.
Martin Price My favorite too.
All not forgotten, I had 2 1965 Malibu s and later a 69 Nova SS 396 375 hp. it was a runner !! Today the kids aren't gear heads . It's too bad we had fun
Fine piece of carrying on! Thanks for sharing!
I had one of those, Laguna, a beast ..
I saw one of those at one of the annual O'Reilly's Automotive car shows a few years before the Coronavirus pandemic quarantine. (Sadly, I never got to meet the beautiful car girls...:()
The 65 Chevelle Z-16 is a special vehicle. However, none of the Chevelles shown in this video were Z-16s! The picture at the front of the video was, but the ones shown in the content were not.
4:22 - My Grandpa had a Yeoman that he bought new and had until he died in 2005. It was a 283 with a 3 speed stick (3 on the tree). Like all '58s, the rust worms got it badly. I remember he loaned it to us to go to Yellowstone around 1964 as we were all set to go and something happened to our car.
I know of a "never for sale" Z16 with original engine and owner with '70's custom paint languishing in the corner of a garage in Sticksville, USA. Originally an Evening Orchid car.
We had a '70 Kingswood wagon (Champagne Gold) until '74 when my dad died (he worked for GM in El Paso).
Somewhat surprised the Cosworth Vega wasn't included.
Nothing obscure about ANY of those unless you just woke from a 50 year coma
Many people, now adults, were born 20 years after some of these cars were made.
Rare, not necessarily obscure. I agree.
That Z-16 is a rare one for sure.
I loved the 1965 chevelle and Malibu SS. Cherry red convertible, 327.
Kelly Pickler's "Red High Heels" video has her driving one -
Nice list! A few I had never heard of, like the Yeoman and Greenbriar.
Chevy monza,one of the first cars to come out with square headlights
The great ol days, when GM made products that mattered, unlike now.
lindsey607 all depends on how you drive and take care of them
_The great ol days, when GM made products that mattered, unlike now._
They are not allowed to make any products that matter. The government is dictating what they make, and are dictating that the make cars just like japanese cars, or else be fined. Notice all of these are muscle cars. The government made those illegal through Fascist CAFE standards. It's not their fault. Imagine if the reverse happened where japan had to produce real full size cars like American cars or be fined. We all know they would be crap. But no, the government only required the U.S makers to completely revamp their products, the Leftist Fascists. Leftist government picking winners and losers. In fact, the only reason japanese cars matter is because they are lying they are full size cars. So the japanese cars were propped up by the government and lying Leftist MSM "reviewers" where japan couldn't do anything wrong and American makers couldn't do anything right. A pure propaganda campaign.
I never heard of the Monza Mirage but I did own the Buick version, a 1978 Skyhawk. I believe this car would have done well with the Chevy 2.8 (173) V6 but standard was the Buick 3.8 (231) V6 with a 5 speed manual. It was actually a pretty bad ass car.
I think that there was a third variant that was called the Oldsmobile Firenza. However, it should not be confused with the Vauxhall Firenza or the Chevrolet (South Africa) Firenza, which were completely different cars, as well as, arguably enough, just as potent pony/muscle cars as the Chevrolet Camaro/Pontiac Firebird/Pontiac Trans Am.
Grumpy Jenkins would be proud
I like the Chevelle and the Cameo, Yeoman. The Greenbriar is very different. good video
Robert Payne + Thank you Mr. Rob ! :)
Had to laugh at the Laguna S3 - 0-60 in 8.3 sec and 1/4 mile in 16.6. That puts it to within half a second of a Smart Fortwo.
Were an LS swap made, that Smart FourTwo would look like the glorified golf cart that it really is in life.
When I was 15 my mother was in the market for a new car she had her heart set on a Chevy citation or refused to get the X11 package so I ordered one with everything but the X11 badging for its time it was a pretty quick car
As for the Laguna, a quick look at Wikipedia shows that it was available with the full, then current, V8 line-up from the stoopit 305 up to the 454. Yes those are cubic inch numbers. Back then we didn't talk in liters. When you talk about American cars, use American measurements.
back in the day v-8 Vegas were all the rage
Yup, but you couldn't get a V-8 from the factory.
I know that :) people had to install them themselves:)
I wonder if the Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser, as well as the Holden Kingswood, also shared parts with the Chevrolet Kingswood?
none of the three 1965 malibu chevelles shown here is a genuine Z16
The chevrolet cameo just like walton in gta san andreas
And where's the '58 Delray Sedan Delivery and the '61 Impala S.S.409 Convertible (they didn't make that many Impala S.S.409 Convertibles).
I've often dreamt of owning a Chevy Cameo, but, alas, I have no money.
You could find a GMC Apache, which was the GMC version of the Chevrolet Cameo, I think, and it is also not as well recognized, either, Ed Hartgrove.
Edit, the Chevrolet Cameo had a trim level as an Apache, but I conflated the GMC counterpart with the Apache, yet I ironically forget the GMC version of the Chevrolet Cameo Apache.
Pax Humana ● Yeah. I think maybe you missed the part where I said I have no money. LOL
Ed Hartgrove ....ok, I have no money too but when I win the Power Ball or Mega Millions I'll get in touch with you! Wish me luck!
Manny j ●Will do. Good luck, Manny!
@@edhartgrove7552 , junkyards and wise investments, sir. You have no money because you lack the proper knowledge to save money in your life.
A lot of incorrect information in there, but a good video showing a lot of forgotten cars.
Monza, X11 Citation, 65 Malbu SS, 76 Mulabu, 427 Kingswood wagon
Were these recorded using a potato?
@Sterling Archer, so I guess that you think that you are brave now that your mommy is dead, right?
The bowtie or nothing!
The reason the x11 is a "forgotten car" is because we wanted to forget it!
The subscribe button obscures the information
Just give me a full size 2 door blazer again.🤜💥🤛
You can find any of these still functioning as the primary vehicle at your local trailer park
Show the cars stock as they came from the plant then this would be a good video.
Nova twin cam hahahaha!
curlybrownk9 and driving one handed in a heavy rain 🌧 shower trying to film what speed he was doing, total knob..!!
@@johnchurch4705 , and what do you drive, a Toyota Prius?
I want a Citation X33 !!! !!1111!! !!1!
Does any of these models has received a J D Powah award ?
Monza and Citation were such horrible cars. They were junk before they left the dealer's lot. I had the little Nova twin cam from the NUMMI plant in California and the Citation. The Toyota Nova was a great car. I lucked out on the Citation. The dealer talked me into an extended warranty and I think the warranty company went broke on that car.
I learned to drive a standard in a green Chevy Vega. Driver education class. I liked them until I learned Chevy didn't put cylinder linings in the engines. Didn't take long to wear them out. Rolling smoke bombs. They disappeared quickly.
Yeah, the monza came with a sewing machine engine. So did the Citation.
6:15
Should be called Chevrolet $hitboxes
Obscure and forgotten Turds is more like it.
More inaccurate clickbait... nobody forgets the 1965 Z-16 396" Chevelle at 1:31... Nobody forgets Laguna... F.I. engine wasn't available in Cameo pickup... nobody forgets the ToyLet at 5:01... 5.7L SBC at 4:36 wasn't invented yet for that 1958 car... would have been a 348" W-block engine... etc... Yeoman name may have been forgotten for some Chevy wagons...
I would assume the 5.7L V-8 being refered to was the 348 W engine. Used from '58 to '61. Predecessor to the 409. But still, click bait video, dont think there was an actual Z-16 shown, and the 427 Kingswood wagon should have been listed @ 390hp.
@@tysroufe2686 - Engine shown isn't a W engine... z16 was rated 375 HP, not 380...
The Z-16 was indeed 375HP 396, I was refering to the W engine regarding the 1958 Yeoman wagon whith the "5.7" V-8.
@@tysroufe2686 - Nobody in USA used Litres for engine size before 1964... The engine shown in that 1958 car isn't the obvious looking W engine...
Z16 clickbait. Not any "TRUE" Z16's within the entire video although the banner picture does depict a true Z16.
The least disirable Chevelles 1973-77 colonade body Turds!!
My mom owned a 1980 X-11. Worst car ever. The 80 was not much more than a basic Citation with better suspension. 81-85s had more performance
I would strongly argue that most of these aren't classics. No one is clamoring for a 147 HP Monza.
you might be surprised then , when ever somethings a barn find and in decent shape, there's a buyer for any of these
I’d be apt to say that z16s aren’t obscure, then again the one old car collector I know who owns one bought his all original example in the mid 80s and didn’t even know what the hell a z16 was. He just saw it as a nice original Chevelle with a big block and didn’t realize the full significance of it until he had owned the car for awhile. It’s a killer survivor example. It’s had a $200k price on it ever since the 90s even though he’s not trying to sell it. That’s just what it would take to get him to part. Sits in a climate controlled warehouse with a bunch of other Chevelles and 58-63 impalas. He drives them every spring and summer. Then hibernates them away for the winter. Occasionally he’ll sell or trade one, but the z16 has always remained.
Of all the colors why would some one paint a Chevy engine ford blue?
Because go fuck yourself, that is why!
Normal classic cars thems time!!!!
Original awesome real Chevy power and RWD vehicles unlike today’s BS fwd crappy vehicles
Not really obscure or forgotten lol You really need to change your titles.
this was when gm made real cars NOT THE TECHNO SHIT THEY BUILD NOW
You are definitely NOT up to date on American car culture. That 86 Nova ( carolla) is not a classic and was purposely forgotten as it was sold
Junk
@Ralph Cramden, do YOU want to be knocked to the moon? Please, keep talking and see what happens!
A 58 wagon
No 348 or 409
Useless
@Jeffrey McCarty, kind of like your comments?
@@paxhumana2015 a Limp six like my pee pee
A bunch of vehicles with mix match motors. Nothing original here. A lot of junk.
3:00 ---- Sorry, but when you talk about "old school" models, you need to drop that idiotic "litre' designation when referring to engine size .... *for us "old schoolers," it's NOTHING BUT CU. IN.*
These were forgettable because they were pieces of shit. The Chevy Monza? JUNK. Concept that came out of the late '70s oil crisis - why design a new car when you can cobble some crap together with whatever you have left in the stockroom?
