3. You think so?
The first one is a 2nd gen Camaro? I'm a Pontiac guy, and I've owned several late 70's Trans Ams, but never a Chevy. I was under the impression that the dashes were of similar shape between the Camaros and Firebirds, though, and that dash doesn't look anything like a Firebird dash.

I would guess an older Chevy myself.

I concur on the 2nd pic.

6. 1970 Chevelle SS 454
The giveaway is the hood, plus the center console.

I put my engine gauges inder the SS hood like that; saves running wires and it looks so cool at night with a light coming out from under the hood...

I miss my 71 EC...but I got a 65 wagon to work on...maybe even convert to biodiesel someday! :)

7. How about...
.... mid-late 60's A-body Chevy for the first one? The shape of that dash looks more like the dash in my '67 Cutlass convertible than it does like a 2nd gen F-body.

9. DING!
70 SS...the non-Super Sport Chevelles had a cool sweeping speedometer.

Gauges under the hood cowl were not a factory item!

10. Aha. Really had me with the gauges.
I couldn't get past that. Started pondering if any of the Yenko or COPO cars were 3 speed automatics...

11. Boy they are now...
In researching parts for my 65 Malibu wagon I discovered entire industries around Chevelle resto INCLUDING frames and modern suspension and engine designs...

You could literally make a complete new 2007-1970 Chevelle! :o
