yeah the late 60-70's videos have their own "vibes"... I've got some 80s laserdiscs ones I will put soon. I'm sure they will be different also. I am not sure they even put comparison and intro vids out other than general releases and those are on youtube.
112" wheelbase for Chevelle coupes, 116" for Monte Carlos and 4-door Chevelles. The extra 4" was allocated differently - rear seat space on Chevelle sedans and wagons (and cargo box length on El Caminos), hood length on Monte Carlos. Line up an MC and a 4dr side by side and you'll see the cowl/windshield and steering wheel are 4" further back on the Monte. At one point Chevrolet considered a 4-door Monte Carlo but it would've needed a completely different frame, and been as long as an Impala with the interior space of a Chevelle which would've been a tough sell to the people who bought 4-door cars in 1970.
Nice. I'm currently doing a frame off restoration on a 71 Monte Carlo SS454.
yeah was pretty good with the British guy voiceover.
love to see it, I am still waiting to get mine after almost 25 years....0o
If only we appreciated these cars when we had them! Dream of owning a 71 Monte to Chevelle coupe today
Yeah i am hooked on classics... i need help :)
I appreciated mine back then only wish I had kept it all these decades later
@@SquirminHermanthe1eyedGerman we would all be a lot richer :) You see the 60's/70s/80s scrap yards where they are just tossing in the grinder...
this is so calming.
My first car was a forest green’71 Chevelle in 1991. This takes me back.

I love the 70s and it's cars. Thanks for posting.

0:40 Fletch in the free state.
I think it means "Chase Chevy?" :)
@@darthhemi1735 Don't forget Chevy Chase, Maryland....they had a Chevrolet dealer
With gps you don’t need a map pocket. Body by Fisher is no more.
true but you can stuff all kinds of stuff in that pocket... a melted hersey bar... a old receipt.. it comes in handy
The side terminal battery is a bad thing. Why would anyone want that in their car.?
eh when you dont want to ground out your battery on your hood it is!
chevelle's and monte carlo's to me were always the same car
Longer wheel base... so nothing was interchangeable. Thusly different
Chevelle is now the Malibu or maybe they are discontinued.
yeah Malibu... they have the Camaro and to rebadge the current Malibu to a Chevelle would be HERESY! :)
