Chevrolet Chevelle 1970-1972 Second Generation part 2

by Ross Mills

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.

Pontiac Beaumont 1966-1969

Oh, Canada! Between 1966 and 1969, Pontiac Beaumonts strutted their stuff as a Chevelle look-alike but with a dash of maple leaf flair. Sporting unique tail lights and a dashboard reminiscent of a Pontiac GTO, the Beaumont came in styles from sedans to convertibles. The rarest gem? The four-door hardtop. The top dog was the SD396, boasting a 350 hp engine. With only 72,000 produced, these cars are as rare as a polite hockey player, making them a collector’s dream, eh?

Get ready to take a nostalgic ride with the 1966 Chevrolet Chevy II Nova wagon, a car that packs a punch in its plain jane disguise. Starting with an economical inline four, it can transform into a beast with engine options like the 283 V8 offering 220 hp. But why stop there? Go full throttle with the Turbo-Fire 327, delivering a whopping 350 hp. Whether you’re a budget-conscious driver or a speed demon, this Nova can morph to suit your style—just like a Transformer, minus the world-saving duties.

Why is this Ford Mustang Cobra R race car listed for $1M?

by Kiril

In 1993, Ford and SVT unleashed the Mustang Cobra R, a limited-edition thrill ride with only 107 examples ever roaring onto the scene. Fast forward two years, and the Cobra R was back, now boasting a 5.8-liter Windsor V8 and a sweet new platform. Only 250 of these were made, and they were more exclusive than a VIP club — you needed a racing license to snag one. So, why the $1M price tag? Well, rarity and a V8 that roars louder than your neighbor’s lawnmower make for a million-dollar combo!

Chevrolet Chevelle Second Generation part one 1968-1970

by Ross Mills

In the late 60s, Chevrolet decided the Chevelle needed a makeover – and boy, did it get one! Shrinking the wheelbase like it was going on a diet, the 1968 Chevelle strutted in with a long hood and a trunk that played hard to get. Meanwhile, the SS 396 and luxury Concours models flaunted hidden wipers like they were hiding a juicy secret. By 1970, the Chevelle was squared up and ready to party with a new 454 engine. It was like the Chevelle was saying, “Who needs subtlety when you can have horsepower?”
