The 1970-1972 Chevrolet Chevelle roared onto the scene with its fierce SS396 and even beastlier 454 V8 engines, turning heads faster than a drag race. The 1970 model’s LS6 engine was so powerful, it was rumored to have more horses than a cowboy convention. By 1971, GM’s policy changes meant less octane drama but more horsepower honesty. In 1972, the Malibu’s hidden wipers were a slick feature, while the sport coupe outsold them all, proving once again that sometimes, old-school cool is the best ride.
