Love the retro cars, had this 2020 50th anniversary hemi Challenger before I thinned the herd when I retired. This Chevelle is much better looking.

I had a '69 SS396. Cousin still has a '70 SS454 (been parked in his garage for decades). He really is too old to ever work on it again or get it going now and just lets it sit. One of those - I'll fix it up later. It was perfect when he parked it. He was just afraid of driving it - accidents, mechanical problems, etc...trailer-ed it some shows and then just parked it.

I know the owner of this company. He wanted to buy one of my vintage motorcycles. We talked several times and I think he was probably just to busy with the biz. to ever complete the deal. Good people and had a TV show yrs., ago about their Bandit Retro cars.

Out of the 26 cars/trucks I've owned, zero were Chevelles.

Although my brudder-in-law had a '65 Chevelle 327.

So there's that.

Things they should have done...
Used Chrome bumpers
Used Chevelle tail lights
Used Chevelle headlight buckets/inserts (whatever)

So many parts are available in the aftermarket and are replaceable if there is an accident, versus these parts that won't be readily available.

This works for anyone that feels the need to screw with the original in any way.
