Chevrolet’s Chevelle nameplate came to be in 1963, as the brand’s new mid-sizer. The name meaning ‘Bold and Beautiful’, was built on the automaker’s new A-platform, and was the riposte to Ford’s Fairlane. With a production run of three generations over fourteen years, the Chevelle was a mainstay in Chevy’s Sixties and Seventies line-ups, and gained extensive exposure in NASCAR between 1973 and 1977. If you’re after a Chevelle with a twist, here’s a nicely resto-modded 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle LT1 which reportedly saw a refresh around eight years ago.
This 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle LT1 is from the second generation which saw no less than eight body styles, including hardtops, coupes, convertibles, sedans, and station wagons. Sporting the hardtop body style and wearing a lustrous Metallic Dark Red paintjob, the car looks sublime with its 15-inch rally-style wheels, SS badging and dual exhausts. Lighting and chrome detailing all appear to be in great condition, and this really is a turn-key classic that doesn’t seem to need much, if any work done to it post-purchase. Venture aboard and the black interior is in good form as well. You’ve got low-back seating for four occupants of which the front are bucket seats, and a three-spoked sporty steering wheel with the Chevrolet emblem, and the red, white, and blue colors of the automaker on the center cap. Ahead of the steering wheel lies a set of white-faced Dakota Digital gauges that seamlessly sit within the original gauge pods. There’s also air conditioning which is welcome since summer is coming along, and a retro-styled Chevrolet-branded push button radio. Wind up windows complete the period-correct outlook. The trunk upholstery appears to be in decent condition as well.
The second generation of Chevelle could be had with ten powerplant options during its heyday, ranging from a 230ci Turbo-Thrift in-line six, all the way to a 454ci Big-Block V8 bad boy. However, this 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle LT1 has seen an upgrade under the hood in the shape of a more modern Chevrolet LT1 350ci V8. Produced in the 1990s, this engine found its way under the hood of the contemporary C4 Corvette and Camaro Z/28 at the time. Outputs were rated at 300hp and 340lb-ft. Installed in this car, the engine sends drive to the rear wheels via a 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission and 10-bolt rear end. Power steering has been installed, as has disc brakes on all four wheels with Hydroboost for enhanced steering and braking abilities.
Are you seeking a glorious American convertible from the Sixties or early Seventies to add to your life? We don’t blame you; that particular era was the last of the great V8-powered ones, before the Malaise Era took over and choked power outputs to less than fun levels. With that in mind, how much more iconic can you get with this 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Convertible? It’s up for grabs right now in Chicago, with a rather low 45,630 miles on the clock. Plus, it’s got aftermarket suspension, aftermarket Forgiato wheels, air conditioning and of course, a 350 V8 to move it along. Step right this way folks, we’re taking offers right now.
The 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle SS represents one of the most iconic years of the muscle car era, and this example takes that legendary foundation and elevates it into full restomod territory. Finished in Bolero Red with a black vinyl top and black bucket seat interior, this Chevelle retains its unmistakable Super Sport presence while benefiting from serious mechanical upgrades. Showing 51,859 miles on the odometer, it blends classic styling with modern drivability thanks to a 502ci big block, overdrive transmission, upgraded suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, and a high-end audio system. It delivers the look and nostalgia of a true ’67 SS with performance and reliability that far exceed factory specifications.
One of General Motors’ most successful and popular A-body midsize cars, the Chevy Chevelle ran between 1963 and 1977, across three generations. It was offered in sedan, station wagon, coupe, convertible, hardtop and coupe utility forms. Back in the day, it was the default choice for many families who wanted clean, reliable and easy motoring, especially when you choose a station wagon. Now, some of these classics have become restomods, like this 1,242-mile 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Concours Restomod LS3 from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This spacious station wagon packs a 6.2-liter LS3 V8, an aftermarket sound system, a reupholstered leather interior and more goodies to make it sweeter on every drive. The car has reportedly been refreshed by Luce Customs.
This 1973 Chevrolet C20 Cheyenne pickup blends classic square-body truck styling with the unmistakable power of a big-block V8. Showing 34,983 miles, this example presents as a well-preserved driver with tasteful performance upgrades. Finished in black with a two-tone interior, the truck carries the desirable Cheyenne trim and the robust 3/4-ton C20 platform. Equipped with a 454 cubic-inch V8 and upgraded induction components, it offers the rugged capability and unmistakable presence that made Chevrolet’s early square-body trucks some of the most respected pickups of their era.
This 1974 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe, in all its orange glory, comes from an era of resilience. The C3 or third-gen ‘Vette is the longest-running of them all, with a fourteen-year production run between 1968 and 1982. Cars like this one are historically significant because they weathered the most dreaded time in American auto history; the Malaise Era. Even during those times, the Corvette was still the fastest American car available. Now, you can see why, when you take a closer look at this 24,000-mile machine from Island Lake, Illinois. It’s a survivor, a stunning looker, and above all, never compromised on engines by always having a V8 beneath the hood. So why not buy this beautiful boulevard cruiser and stick it to today’s soulless EVs?
Eight generations of Corvette are available right now, and we at Exotic Car Trader have shifted examples from all eight of them. Today’s 2010 Chevrolet Corvette 2LT Convertible comes from the sixth generation, called the C6. It’s a fine, V8-powered drop-top from Cabot, Arkansas and comes with just 8,795 miles on the clock. Plus, it’s got the owners manual included with the sale, as well as both keys. Oh, and did we say it’s rear wheel drive and packing a stick shift? Yup, this might as well be driving nirvana, wrapped up in a white package and containing red leather on the inside.
