1970-1972 Chevrolet Chevelle/SS/Malibu







The Chevy Chevelle is one of my favorite muscle cars, especially the SS 454 variant. It looks and sounds magnificent, and can accelerate faster than many vehicles produced during the Muscle Car Era (1965-1972). However, the Chevelle is not as upscale as its platform-mates, the Pontiac GTO, Buick GSX/GS 400, and Oldsmobile Cutlass 442. This doesn't necessarily mean that the Chevelle is worse than any of the aforementioned muscle cars. In recent years, the Chevelle and its platform-mates have appreciated significantly in value because vehicles like these won't be made again, and not too many examples in excellent condition are in existence. A bulk of the Chevy Chevelles I have seen were at car shows, especially the best and nicest examples. Lastly, my favorite Chevelle in this post would have to be the black 1971 SS, which was present at a car show I attended at the beginning of May, along with the light green 1972 Malibu and matte green 1970 SS.
