I had a 70SS 396 that was grey fern metallic with white rally stripes and was built for street/strip when i was in high school. 11.85 in the quarter mile @129 mph. Best car i ever had and i still kick myself for ever selling it. I ruled the streets with that car.
My Dear and beloved father STILL HAS his original 1964 Chevelle, He has it in a barn in San Juan Puerto Rico. The paint is not original. He had it repainted at least 5 times that I remember and it looks outstanding. Dad is now 84 and recently told me to “ Come get the car” He was a Jersey City police officer and giving us a great childhood, beautiful home and upbringing… This is his baby. Now he is passing it down to me. It will be back in New Jersey in August of 2024 Lord willing.
I am Ford guy but I must agree the 1970 Chevelle SS was the finest looking muscle car of the era. I was 19 in 1970 and was privileged to see the peak of the era!
...and disappointing that GM lacks the courage to do this kind of work. Honestly, Trans Am Worldwide just needs to buy GM and boot out the envirotards and make internal combustion engine vehicles last forever.
And to think I had not only one of these cars but I actually have had two of them. Both Super Sports. I've been a mechanic since 1979. I knew back then how special they were. Their reputation had already been set. I never should have let them go. I got both for less than 2k.
Not meant to be. Who knows, you could have gotten killed or paralyzed in one of those cars. Everything happens for a reason. No coincidences, nothing happens by chance.
@@thephantomzoneboxing Nothing has changed the was the American economy works. Supply and demand is what controls the price. Not only that this is far from the same car. It looks like the 70s cars but all the technology is from today dependability, suspension, brakes, handling, twin turbo, the amount of horsepower is putting out, then you go back to my original comment it's a matter of how many are available and how many people want one that's what affects the price.
Being a former owner of multiple Chevelle's ( 70 SS 396, 70 307 Malibu, 70 350 Malibu, 71 SS 350, 72 4 door Malibu hardtop, 68 SS 396, 67 SS 396 with a L-88 427) this brings a tear to my eye. You captured the pure essence of the 70 in a modern interpretation. It's beautiful, although I can still dimensionally see the Camaro underneath, but that's not a deterrent, it's almost a necessity for a modern platform. Waaaaaay out of my league price-wise, but there's always the hope of hitting the Mega-Millions Jackpot. Yeah... I know, I ain't holding my breath lol. I guess I'll just have to make do with my 77 Impala with 525 rwhp until then. Awesome job recreating a true muscle car icon!
I've owned one Chevrolet in my almost 7 decades on this old earth. It was a '68 SS 396 (350 hp version) with a 4 speed and a bench seat. I was young and dumb and traded it for a motorcycle sometime around '75. Man, I wish I still had that car.
You would think I wouldn't have anything left after my last book, but Ferraris, Lomborghinis and Porshe's have their place. When you watch this video, it makes you feel proud that these American car builders are building these cars with these kind of phenomenal horsepower ratings. I love it.
Taino boricua you are so fortunate to have a father that gives you a nice classic Chevy ! Enjoy every minute you drive it !! From another boricua from Queens NY 😄
Sixteen in 1974, first car '68 Mustang 289. Two things really miss from that era - chromed steel bumpers & fat tires. Think were icons of the era. Have actually seen one photo of a "steel" front bumper on the 2024 SS's, but suspect like everything now it's chromed plastic.
Incredible job! The only thing personally, is the front bumper. To me, it looks to bulky. It needs to be a different color or have a line running across it to break up the size. I still want one!
It's really refreshing TAW continues to bring back the muscle cars us baby boomers grew up with! Early models styling with modern nuannces and safty built in, yet nothing left to the imagination in styling, power, handling and safety! No EV will ever be able to come near close to fuel breathing dragons liek this! Keep it up TAW!
This goes to the top of my lottery winnings car wish list now. The passion and expertise associated with the 70/SS is on another level. You can’t put a price on that. Yeah, there are supercars from famous brands but they can’t touch this in terms of history and character.
I had a 70 SS 396 back in 76. I wasn't crazy about the front of this version for the first few minutes. Nothing like chrome. Overall i love it. Gonna start playing the lottery now.
I’m a Firebird man love those one’s in the video , always liked the 70/SS I’m drowning in my own saliva! These are beautiful! I’m a retired car guy & I’ll never be able to afford one of these ! Loved the sequence where your mother enters the car and does a 1/4 mile burnout, that will sell ‘‘em every time! It’s how I purchased my Firebird. The salesman did a major burn out like that and I said sold! Wish I could do that with your 70/SS ! Very ,Very nice!
I had a 68 SS 396 4spd cragars all around , bought it in 74 for $900 only had 1100 miles on it. I was 16 worked as a life guard one summer to pay for it. Sunoco 100 Octane was .32 cent. a gal. Freedom was real in the USA back then. I miss beyond words.
@@windydrifter7633 I also bought mine in '74. I was stationed in San Diego, needed some wheels and found the '68 SS for a really good price. Traded it for a motorcycle at a used car lot in National City. It's a good thing gas was cheap, because the gas gauge moved faster than the speedo when those rear butterflys opened on that Quadrajet.
This is phenomenal. I grew up in the back seat of my older cousins ‘68 Camaro SS, and he hot rodded the hell out of that car. This brings back those memories. Bravo.👍🏽✌🏽
Beautiful job, had a 69 and a 70. Only problem is I’m sure it’ll be basically unaffordable to the average Joe that made the chevelle as popular as it is today.
I remember seeing the 70’s all over San Diego in the 1970’s. So many muscle cars I remember from those times. You have absolutely killed it with this design and engineering! Your dreams and vision are what other car companies WISH they could do.
I bought a low-mile 1966 Chevelle Super Sport in 1975, just before I turned 16. Paid a whopping $1000 for it. Red with red interior. 396 and 4-speed. A lot of car for a teenager. The '70 Chevelle is a beautiful car. You have captured the essence of the car with this deal.
I had a 67 Chevelle SS. I just loved that car. Just getting into it and starting the engine brought a smile to my face. Now, I have a 2023 LT1 Camaro with a manual, of course. This car also brings a smile to my face every time I hear that pushrod motor start up with a nice grumble. The new interpretation is killer. I would be proud to drive the car and take no "poop" from anybody that challenges the looks!
Bro! Great job bro. Super happy for you bro. Bro, I hope you have many a great night where you don’t drink and drive and realize just how great these modern pushrod engines sound. The rest of the world was so stupid for going to multi-cam engines that rev past 6000rpm and get more than 65hp per liter. I mean cubic inches! Yeehaw no replacement for displacement, am I right!? Wish me luck bro, I’m about to get the wife and kids home safe from the bar with my overpriced Harley Davidson. Don’t worry though, I’m not going to wear a helmet!
I love what you guys did to modernise the look of the 70 Chevelle. It has a OE feel to it as if maybe what GM might do now if the produced this car, but to an infinitely higher standard of course.
What a masterpiece. Pure beauty. This is the right design language how new muscle cars should look like. When the factory can't make it, thanks god you guys can 💪💪
"When the factory can't make it..." Why the factory (GM) can't - or better yet won't make these awesome cars? That is the question I now have. Salute to the Trans Am Worldwide team.
I was a staple at John Calvert’s house since a little kid, his Dad , Robert “Bob” Calvert was USMC Force Recon, my Dad was 101st. My dad had to work a lot and trusted Sgt. Calvert to teach us be good men. Bob always took the initiative to help others and do the job right. His son followed that track very well. In my eyes, Sgt. Calvert was a local legend and national hero. He inspired us- my brother and I are cops and firefighters. We wish could do more. John Calvert was made for this and is a good man. The apple didn’t fall from the tree at all… it rose upward. Love you brother. Proud of you. I know your pop would love to see this. Well done.
very good to hear that these are built by them and choosing fiberglass. Whichever engine choice you go with, you're still getting some serious amount of Power!!
I'm a '69 Mustang owner and classic muscle car lover. Absolutely love what they have done here. I wish Ford would get it together and come out with a proper re-creation like this. The last 50 years of Mustangs have been an embarrassment. (present Mustangs included).
I was born in 1970, but when I was 12 years old I remember my mom had a 1970 Chevelle SS in green color, that car was so cool, I remember that was she was driving that thing in every roads and highways in Puerto Rico, truck drivers used to blow their horns as we were passing by them, like saying to my mom girl you got big cojones driving that thing, good job bringing back an iconic and cool car!
@@ae747sp5 Rest of the world? You mean like all 3 or 4 of the major countries that drive on the wrong side of the road: UK, Australia, Japan, and maybe one other.
My dad bought my brother one of these, in that green!! It would fly!!! The 1970 chevelle SS. He and myself out run a state trooper!! He couldn't catch us.. It was beautiful!!!
Nice job, but I always loved the 66 SS396 over the 69 and 70. They were lighter and the front end looked cleaner. Saw a restomod done on one which made me wish GM would bring an updated version to market.
I been a GM man all my life, Vettes are one of several dream rides for me. It saddens me tho the newer ones look like the foreign styles of the hand built vehicles so much they do not look USA Made like the Vette is supposed to be.
@@ITPAPA69yeah the new ones are nice but too foreign. I'm sitting inside my beautiful c5 and the FEEL of Corvette is there but the new ones are just too foreign
I owned a 70 Chevelle and now own a 6th Gen Camaro SS 1LE. I miss my Chevelle but am torn if I would want it based on a 6th Gen Camaro. Very cool concept guys!
@trollolol its the head light bezals, there flush and not recessed as originals, plus the bumper is to square. I had a 1970 LS6 SS IN THE 70'S IN fOREST GREEN AS PICTURED.
I had an 1970 LS6 SS in the 1970's in Forest Green, white stripes as pictured. My 64 GTO coupe was faster and a lot lighter. Design looks pretty good. Like the TA's and Judge u guys ,make also. Glad u have the balls to come out with these.
I grew up with the 70s muscle cars 5 of my friends had Chevelles l had a Olds Cutlass 442 with 455 others dodges mopar we owned the roads. Boy if we would of saved them.We all would be sitting good. Now picture's and memories
Stunning work gentlemen. I keep thinking a small chrome bumper on the front and rear would break up the front and rear fascias and just add a bit of complexity and class....wrong? Still completely enamored
These are not just cars, they are art works. They are the Von Gogh's, Rembrandt's or Picasso's of car's . Beautiful masterpieces!! They deserve to be driven, but also belong in museums.
Wow, what a masterpiece. You guys knocked it out of the park with this one. Wish I had the money because I would buy this car in a second. Sadly as a retired police officer I could not afford the wheel of this car.😂
No matter if you're a die-hard Ford GM or Mopar when you see beauty and recognize it and tell it like it is then you're a True connoisseur of classic cars muscle Cars👍
As a young man in High School, my first car was a 64 Chevelle. I drove that until I enlisted in the Corp and sold it. Came out of the service in 84 and bought a 72 chevelle. The 72 was by far ands down the best car I've ever owned. A chevy man for life.
What beautiful capture in time to relive. The car is the most amazing I have seen in a while. I personally was a Cutlass man but loved GM cars period. This reborn is perfect to me until I saw the front end. I think You guys could have made it a little more sexy. The Bumper pertruded more in the center on the original. This modle looks like one big easy way out wrap still an Amazing piece of machinery.
This is absolutely amazing to me what you guys can do, I can only dream of working for a company like this and watch something born into a beautiful piece of artwork. God you guys are blessed with such talented people.
What a great film and what a killer car !! Y'all should get serious awards for this one !! I love you guys work and dedication to bringing back powerhouses and at the same time making them works of art !! Would love to own one of your green and gold 70 ss's with the supercharged 396 but my having to rely on disability since my back went out in 2007 kinda limits my budget! I can hardly wait to see the hardtop version !!
I 100% agree about the '70 Chevelle. When I was a kid in the '70's - early '80's that was one of the top cars for teen drivers to get for their first car. Black, white stripes, raised in the rear a little, deep dish Cragar SS's in the rear, standard in the front, lettered tires, and chrome tip duals out the rear. To really top it off, a racing cam to make the idle sound throaty hit-and-miss. The thing is, for the time, these cars were already expensive. Where you could buy a typical used car for $500-$750, these were often $1500. A LOT of money back in circa 1978! HAHA.
I practically had one handed to me for $1200 - BUT, I didn't have the money & my local bank wouldn't lend it to me. I'm probably still alive because I was too immature at that time to be driving a car like that..
I don't know Joseph when I was a kid my father bought a 1980 Buick skylark brand new for 8,000 bucks 4 door not a sport's car so I'm pretty sure a car like this would be more expensive and that was just a two year difference but then again there's always Google haven't checked but correct me if I'm wrong
Stunning car, the best engines, paint, tires, carbon fiber body, and leather, but there's is that "something" about the original that can never be replaced
My Brother had the 70 Road Runner and my Brother n law had the SS 396. They were both very fun and very fast, but I have always loved the body of the SS. I was younger but I got the 78 Trans Am. There is something about loving a vehicle that I understand. Today, I have a Model S Plaid.
Great work. Really unfortunate that the executives at GM can't figure it out on their own. Rather a smaller company has to produce what the public really wants. John Delorean must be laughing in his grave at this point. Plate C
YOU’RE KILLING ME SMALLS!! 😱 My first car was a 68 Camaro, I have a 2010 5th Gen Re-emerged Camaro now! 😎 My second car was a 71 Chevelle!! Loved that car as much as the Camaro. I hope you’ve inspired Chevy to bring it back! I love what you did! You did to the Chevelle what Chevy did with the Camaro, retro yet modern!! 😎 I wish they were back! I still remember Cragar SS wheels on my 71, with raised letter tires, and lifting the back up with air shocks! Let’s not forget the shag carpet on the rear deck! 🤦🏻♂️🤣
The target market is all the retirees that wish they had that car when they were teenagers. Now that they have their money that they saved ,they either want to race the car or invest it, keep it and maybe hold on to it for their children. Unfortunately there's a low amount of cars that are going to be made so therefore a lot of people won't get the chance being able to buy one. You won't be able to make them fast enough and I'm sure the price is going to be through the ceiling Great design Good luck
I had a 70 Chevelle back in the seventies and it was one of the greatest vehicles that existed mines had a lt 1 in it instead of A396 they swapped it out I had a lot of bars on it tunnel ram the car was just a monster but like you said the stance of the vehicle was just untouched so to make an upgrade at 70 Chevelle with the same body style just more advanced is just an amazing idea you guys hit it out of the park with this 1
Absolutely fantastic, just excellent execution. Far too much money for me, but since chevy will almost certainly never make retro Chevelle, this is the only game in town.
Flawless execution. I don't think anyone else but you could have pulled this off. 1500 whp is insane. And the fact that it is streetable is makes it even better. Great job.

wish they would start from scratch on frame and body still looks to much like a new camaro
Way better looking than a 70 mach one
Not!

They need to do an 87 GNX homage
How to up-stage GMC as they produce cars & trucks they think everyone needs; and if not, should be forced to buy..
Yep great work that we will own or drive 😎
This car really captures the spirit of the original.

You're right.
yea you screwed yourself there lol..i wonder why these cars are worth more now than they were then just kinda stoopid to me
I had a 1968 SS. Sold it in 1991. Should have kept it.

Absolutely the best-looking retro design I've seen to date. Great to see a modernized muscle car that's true to its roots and not an EV abomination.
Yes it beat ford concepts and has more class then the jeeps and even the company's corvettes
I still give the nod to the '13-'14 GT500.
So Right ! Sir/;-))
Chrysler did an excellent job with the Challenger and the average person can get one.
Not just a great design , but they weren’t messing around under the hood

The green is perfect, the whole car just sits right and the proportions are amazing.

needs to be chrome
It Need's To Be Two Pieces Like The Bottom Need's To Be Chrome Or Blacked Out It Look's Like A Whole Piece Right Now And It Look's Very Bulky
I agree there's just something funky about it
I'm sure they would make it exactly how you want it.

very good to hear that these are built by them and choosing fiberglass. Whichever engine choice you go with, you're still getting some serious amount of Power!!
You absolutely knocked it out of the park with this SS, stunning motor, modern twist on of classic muscle car.This and the Trans am is 👌👍
I'll never be able to afford something like this but it is cool seeing others live the dream.
Never say never.
I’m a Mustang fanatic but you guys absolutely nailed it !! Keep up the good work !!
U a closet Mopar man cause mustangs are for da F boy's.....js
Man when you see craftsmanship, creativity and ingenuity on this level it doesn't matter what we love, it deserves that respect!
I'm a '69 Mustang owner and classic muscle car lover. Absolutely love what they have done here. I wish Ford would get it together and come out with a proper re-creation like this. The last 50 years of Mustangs have been an embarrassment. (present Mustangs included).
@@RickMidnight2005 to 2009 GT mustangs look pretty goodbut I got to admit the sixties mid-to-late 60s or the best-looking mustangs of all time
@@RickMidnightyep and now it's an SUV
I was born in 1970, but when I was 12 years old I remember my mom had a 1970 Chevelle SS in green color, that car was so cool, I remember that was she was driving that thing in every roads and highways in Puerto Rico, truck drivers used to blow their horns as we were passing by them, like saying to my mom girl you got big cojones driving that thing, good job bringing back an iconic and cool car!
Beautiful. Wished we would be able to place orders with GM for Australian car lovers.
Please built some RHD for the rest of the world.
@@ae747sp5 Rest of the world? You mean like all 3 or 4 of the major countries that drive on the wrong side of the road: UK, Australia, Japan, and maybe one other.
@@dannyberry8725 much more than that like 40%.
My dad bought my brother one of these, in that green!! It would fly!!! The 1970 chevelle SS. He and myself out run a state trooper!! He couldn't catch us.. It was beautiful!!!
Nice job, but I always loved the 66 SS396 over the 69 and 70. They were lighter and the front end looked cleaner. Saw a restomod done on one which made me wish GM would bring an updated version to market.
I am blown away! I am a Corvette fan and would love to see your take on the C1, C2, and C3 models respectively. Great craftsmanship to all of you!
I been a GM man all my life, Vettes are one of several dream rides for me. It saddens me tho the newer ones look like the foreign styles of the hand built vehicles so much they do not look USA Made like the Vette is supposed to be.
@@ITPAPA69yeah the new ones are nice but too foreign. I'm sitting inside my beautiful c5 and the FEEL of Corvette is there but the new ones are just too foreign
You guys need to give Keith one hell of a raise, he killed it!
Amazing muscle cars,need a TA
I LITERALLY got chills when that engine roared. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I owned a 70 Chevelle and now own a 6th Gen Camaro SS 1LE. I miss my Chevelle but am torn if I would want it based on a 6th Gen Camaro. Very cool concept guys!
@trollolol its the head light bezals, there flush and not recessed as originals, plus the bumper is to square. I had a 1970 LS6 SS IN THE 70'S IN fOREST GREEN AS PICTURED.
I believe this is every man's dream car. I would give 2 outta 3 wishes to have a car like that
I had an 1970 LS6 SS in the 1970's in Forest Green, white stripes as pictured. My 64 GTO coupe was faster and a lot lighter. Design looks pretty good. Like the TA's and Judge u guys ,make also. Glad u have the balls to come out with these.
I grew up with the 70s muscle cars 5 of my friends had Chevelles l had a Olds Cutlass 442 with 455 others dodges mopar we owned the roads. Boy if we would of saved them.We all would be sitting good. Now picture's and memories
Stunning work gentlemen. I keep thinking a small chrome bumper on the front and rear would break up the front and rear fascias and just add a bit of complexity and class....wrong? Still completely enamored
AGREED! I've thought for long time now that the newer Challengers would look awesome with thin chrome 'bumpers' front and rear.
I agree. The bumper area needs some more finessing. Otherwise nice. Also, the hardtop would be the one I would want.
And yes...hardtop...maybe vinyl?...but as soon as I win the lottery twice, I am buying!!!.🤠
Good call on the chrome bumpers
Definitely needs some chrome.
These are not just cars, they are art works. They are the Von Gogh's, Rembrandt's or Picasso's of car's . Beautiful masterpieces!! They deserve to be driven, but also belong in museums.
Wow that green and gold paint job is brilliantly done,I just haven't the words to describe it 👌👏👏👏👏👏
Beautiful work on awesome cars. This is what muscle cars should look and sound like. Well-built and stout! Great work guys!
Wow, what a masterpiece. You guys knocked it out of the park with this one. Wish I had the money because I would buy this car in a second. Sadly as a retired police officer I could not afford the wheel of this car.😂
And that is SHAMEFUL.. you guys put your lives on the line every day and are paid terribly. Just like teachers. Its a damn shame.
Someone should buy one for you! Thank you for your service as a protector of the people!
No matter if you're a die-hard Ford GM or Mopar when you see beauty and recognize it and tell it like it is then you're a True connoisseur of classic cars muscle Cars👍
What a beautiful iteration of the original. Simply stunning.
As a young man in High School, my first car was a 64 Chevelle. I drove that until I enlisted in the Corp and sold it. Came out of the service in 84 and bought a 72 chevelle. The 72 was by far ands down the best car I've ever owned. A chevy man for life.
What beautiful capture in time to relive. The car is the most amazing I have seen in a while. I personally was a Cutlass man but loved GM cars period. This reborn is perfect to me until I saw the front end. I think You guys could have made it a little more sexy. The Bumper pertruded more in the center on the original. This modle looks like one big easy way out wrap still an Amazing piece of machinery.
This is absolutely amazing to me what you guys can do, I can only dream of working for a company like this and watch something born into a beautiful piece of artwork. God you guys are blessed with such talented people.
You guys are amazing; World Class+. I love what I do, but certainly would to work with you guys on these projects.
Wow! A piece of art that you know exactly what it is. Absolute perfection, performance, handling, A legend.
What a great film and what a killer car !! Y'all should get serious awards for this one !! I love you guys work and dedication to bringing back powerhouses and at the same time making them works of art !! Would love to own one of your green and gold 70 ss's with the supercharged 396 but my having to rely on disability since my back went out in 2007 kinda limits my budget! I can hardly wait to see the hardtop version !!
That green and gold, omg, looking at it makes me feel 15 to 18 years old again 😮 grate job guys perfect ❤😮
I 100% agree about the '70 Chevelle. When I was a kid in the '70's - early '80's that was one of the top cars for teen drivers to get for their first car. Black, white stripes, raised in the rear a little, deep dish Cragar SS's in the rear, standard in the front, lettered tires, and chrome tip duals out the rear. To really top it off, a racing cam to make the idle sound throaty hit-and-miss. The thing is, for the time, these cars were already expensive. Where you could buy a typical used car for $500-$750, these were often $1500. A LOT of money back in circa 1978! HAHA.
I practically had one handed to me for $1200 - BUT, I didn't have the money & my local bank wouldn't lend it to me.
I'm probably still alive because I was too immature at that time to be driving a car like that..
When you account for inflation, in 1970 a Chevelle SS was about the price of a Honda Civic Si today.
I don't know Joseph when I was a kid my father bought a 1980 Buick skylark brand new for 8,000 bucks 4 door not a sport's car so I'm pretty sure a car like this would be more expensive and that was just a two year difference but then again there's always Google haven't checked but correct me if I'm wrong
Sorry Joseph I assumed you meant used 1,000 dollars up for these sport's car I thought you meant new
Stunning car, the best engines, paint, tires, carbon fiber body, and leather, but there's is that "something" about the original that can never be replaced
I love it but to me its missing chrome bumpers . Great job guy's another beauty.
It's always nice to see aftermarket places and such do to GM vehicles ,what GM SHOULD have done themselves from FACTORY
I'll take one in triple black with white stripes! Design is a masterpiece and just as exciting as the original with performance at another level!
how bout blue/black stripes.... it would remove a 8-track if you were not careful ss454 torque@510
The legendary Chevelle 70/SS 🙌 want! And you did it right offering the manual transmission.
Amazing I'm absolutely in love with everything you build. I think it's very cool that your views are at 454 as I'm typing.
My Brother had the 70 Road Runner and my Brother n law had the SS 396. They were both very fun and very fast, but I have always loved the body of the SS. I was younger but I got the 78 Trans Am. There is something about loving a vehicle that I understand. Today, I have a Model S Plaid.
I would ABSOLUTELY like to buy one; highest trim 😁🥳; but I ain’t never getting rid of my ZL1/LE. A new Chevelle would be nice though 🔥
$738K
Die-hard Stang guy here, and I would definitely OWN THIS!!👍💪
That car looks alot like the original, im a mustang guy but that chevelle looks great, you guys did a great job man.🙂
Well done. I had a 68 and a 69 Malibu, basic 350. This gibs me goosebumps.
Great work. Really unfortunate that the executives at GM can't figure it out on their own. Rather a smaller company has to produce what the public really wants. John Delorean must be laughing in his grave at this point.
Plate C
YOU’RE KILLING ME SMALLS!! 😱 My first car was a 68 Camaro, I have a 2010 5th Gen Re-emerged Camaro now! 😎 My second car was a 71 Chevelle!! Loved that car as much as the Camaro. I hope you’ve inspired Chevy to bring it back! I love what you did! You did to the Chevelle what Chevy did with the Camaro, retro yet modern!! 😎 I wish they were back! I still remember Cragar SS wheels on my 71, with raised letter tires, and lifting the back up with air shocks! Let’s not forget the shag carpet on the rear deck! 🤦🏻♂️🤣
The target market is all the retirees that wish they had that car when they were teenagers. Now that they have their money that they saved ,they either want to race the car or invest it, keep it and maybe hold on to it for their children. Unfortunately there's a low amount of cars that are going to be made so therefore a lot of people won't get the chance being able to buy one. You won't be able to make them fast enough and I'm sure the price is going to be through the ceiling Great design Good luck
The target is the uber rich collector who wants a car nobody else has.
Dude just retired people? Hell no, I want one of these. I think you couldn’t be more wrong.
Their children will want avocado toast and rainbow flags, not 1,500 horsepower carbon machines!
Finally a video where they show more of the car than they do the people talkin
Love It, would love to work on a car like that from start to finish!
What a gorgeous car...love Chevelles....modern uptake on a classic....now...if I can just win the lottery 😊
I am a die hard fox body mustang guy, but you guys did an incredible job with that car. Hats off. Any chance of a 70 El Camino SS, or a 70 Nova SS ???
OMG, a '70 Nova!!!
I had a 70 Chevelle back in the seventies and it was one of the greatest vehicles that existed mines had a lt 1 in it instead of A396 they swapped it out I had a lot of bars on it tunnel ram the car was just a monster but like you said the stance of the vehicle was just untouched so to make an upgrade at 70 Chevelle with the same body style just more advanced is just an amazing idea you guys hit it out of the park with this 1
Wow you guys did a incredible job 👍
My inner child is so happy right now words cant describe.
Well Done Guys!
Absolutely fantastic, just excellent execution. Far too much money for me, but since chevy will almost certainly never make retro Chevelle, this is the only game in town.
Flawless execution. I don't think anyone else but you could have pulled this off. 1500 whp is insane. And the fact that it is streetable is makes it even better. Great job.
Absolutely love it !
😂
finally, they are back with the legendary vintage exterior designs. That's what I want to see on the streets, not some boxes on wheels.
Wish GM would produce these. They really have dropped the ball on the Camero and basically a lot of their models.
Camaro is gone after this generation
Holy cow I think I saw y’all’s shop a few years ago when I dropped my buddy off at his baseball gym in Tallahassee! Such awesome rides!
Now can you make one the average Joe can afford?
No
Nah. The average Joe will still be stuck in a pinto. 😂
You would have a better chance of seeing Elvis.
What they said!
Exactly 💯....
67 and 70 chevelle,with the 454 big block , is my favorite car 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️
