1967 Chevrolet Chevelle Reviews
| “It's A Car Club Favorite But I'm Not A Muscle Car Guy So I'm Biased In My View.” The picture here was the best from the net and the closest to the one I drove. I'm sure that this guy's SS is probably superb in every way. The one I had yesterday had faulty wiring, some bad interior trim, the engine could've been cleaner, though it has a lot of power and a great roar. I prefer the European classics & refinement over most of the American Icono-classics (I love old vettes, t-birds & pre 50's). So I won't go into the minuses with this puppy.
Pros —
Straight line power house.
Cons —
You'll lean into the curves and ask everyone in the car to do the same like a bobsled team.

| “My Seventh Car” Bought wreck from a friend, loved that car. 283 powerglide, later swaped in the 327 and turbo 400
Pros —
Great body style
Cons —
needed lots of work

| “Detroit Muscle. Can't Really Say More Than That.” there's not much you can say about this car that hasn't been said about oil tankers--it's huge, powerful and takes a mile to stop. still, this is a fun car to drive as long as you don't have to turn or stop in a hurry. throw safety out the window, this is all about style. the car is pure character, from the throaty exhaust to the grandma-style guages. classic design lines from a time when cars were unbridled.
Pros —
styling is classic muscle; V8 torque is unmistakable--pins you in your seat; parts are extremely easy to source and the aftermarket is huge; easy to find a mechanic; easy to work on; the trunk is huge
Cons —
well, no safety features outside of lap belts. you're pretty much screwed in a wreck; turning or stopping at high speed is out of the question. this can all be upgraded, but costs for this can get expensive fast for quality parts, which you should always use. not a "set and forget" car.

Pre-safety stuff, but it's a hot rod, not a volvo!
