El Camino Fourth Generation 1973-1977

by Ross Mills

The fourth-generation El Camino (1973-1977) was the largest yet, boasting a two-door Chevelle wagon platform with bumpers that could absorb a small asteroid. Think Malibu interior with a twist, and you’ve got the Classic model. Handling was as smooth as a jazz sax thanks to a wider wheel track and computer-designed coil springs. Engine options ranged from “get me there” to “hold my coffee,” peaking with a 454-cubic-inch beast. New features included swivel seats, turbine wheels, and a gas tank that could outlast your bladder.

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.

Chevrolet Chevy II plus the Nova SS-1962 to ’65

by Ross Mills

In a bid to dethrone the Ford Falcon, Chevrolet introduced the Chevy II in ’62, offering more trims than a barber shop. This rear-wheel drive marvel initially shunned the V8 but later embraced it, turning into a drag racer’s delight. By ’65, the Nova SS strutted with a 327 engine, making it the muscle car world’s new darling. Despite getting a facelift and hitting the gym, the Chevy II couldn’t woo enough buyers, becoming GM’s only model to suffer a sales dip that year. Falcons were clearly the birds of prey!

Chevrolet El Camino third generation 1968 to 1972

by Ross Mills

The third-gen Chevrolet El Camino, 1968-1972, truly revved up the muscle car game with its Malibu-inspired style and Chevelle platform. In ’68, it flaunted options like posi-traction and a power disk brake for those who wanted to stop as impressively as they could go. The high-performance SS debuted, with engines roaring up to 375 bhp. By 1970, it could house a monstrous LS6 454 engine, racing through the quarter-mile in 13 seconds! Alas, emissions rules in ’71 took a bit of the vroom out of its zoom.

Chevrolet Impala-the SS generations to be cont…

by Ross Mills

Chevrolet Impala SS, the epitome of performance from 1961 to 1969, started as a humble trim option but evolved into a symbol of Chevy’s prowess. With engines ranging from a modest 250 cu in six-cylinder to a mighty 409 cu in V8, it offered muscle enthusiasts a buffet of horsepower. The 1965 model even ditched “idiot lights” for full instrument clusters, proving it’s smarter than your average car! By 1966, Chevy added side chrome trim to combat “door dings,” because who needs battle scars, right?

Dead: Chevrolet SS

by Kiril

Chevrolet SS, the car everyone loved but nobody bought, is officially hitting the brakes after 2017. General Motors North America President Alan Batey announced this sad news at the Detroit Auto Show, leaving car enthusiasts shaking their heads in disbelief. The SS, with its roots in Australia, will cease production as GM wraps up its operations down under. It seems the SS was the wallflower of the automotive prom—underrated, unnoticed, and now, unfortunately, unavailable.
