Random # 335: 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS

 

This left-hooker American muscle car is even better for not being a Mustang, Camaro or Corvette.  Sure, they're all really great examples of the genre but when it comes to exclusivity, this mid-sized Chevell Sport Sedan has them beat, with very, very few - if any - gracing Tasmania's roads. 

Today's car featured stunning gun metal grey duco, flawless chrome and a pristine interior.  The only non-stock items visible were a set of super tasty multi-spoke alloys shod with low profile rubber.

I won't bang on about crap I know nothing about, so here's a link to the Chevrolet Chevelle Wikipedia page:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Chevelle.  It's no doubt more accurate, and informative, than I could ever hope to be.  






If the Chevelle nameplate has piqued your interest, below are links to two further examples, both photographed a few years back in Darwin and available on Upper Middle Petrol Head:



And just in case you’re in the mood for another comparatively rare example of American muscle, there’s this, too:  https://uppermiddlepetrolhead.blogspot.com/2023/02/random-331-amc-hornet.html.
