Modern Chevelle Concept

CrimsonB · #1 05-31-2010, 11:07 PM

Hey everyone, with my first post I would like to share a Chevelle concept I have been tinkering with for the last few days. I have always loved the looks of the Chevelle, I was going for a mix of old and new.

Here is a photoshopped picture I found online, pretty much what the front end of my concept would look like with a few minor changes.

What do yall think? Comments, criticism, and idea's are welcome!

I gotta say, and Im sorry if you're offended, but that just might be the single worst looking chevelle I have ever seen. Wow that thing is ugly. Whoever built it completely destroyed the gorgeous lines of the car.

Are you talking about both images or just the one on the bottom? If your referring to the one on the bottom, I just posted it as reference to the kind of front end I was thinking of for my concept. Plus its not a real car, its actually someone else attempt at photoshopping a challenger into a "Chevelle". As for my design on the top if you don't like it thats fine, thats why I am here I am looking for ideas as to how I could improve upon my design.

I kind of like your drawing concept. I would just build a 1970 SS if I were GM. Follow the lines as closely as possible

I like the drawing concepts better that the other one...one suggetion would be to lose the new style "SS" and go old school with SS 427 as the car would have the LS2 that is 427 CI..

As for the one with the front end showing, the grille looks truckish to me..

Keep up the good work.

Not too bad. What I don't like is the same thing I don't like about the new Camaro. The belt line is too high, to keep the roof line low it looks almost like a chopped top. Lower belt line with a little more side glass would look better to me.

I like the drawings, and would love to see more views of it. Personally I think the front end on the bottom picture is the worst part of that car, and thats tough to beat the rear body lines that are horrible too.

LS2's are 364 CID Ric, until they get bored and stroked that is.

Well then GM needs to BORE and STROKE......the 427CI would be a good marketing tool just like the HEMI is. I heard Ford is back to the 302 vs the 4.6L and will be using as a marketing tool as well for us old guys

The reason it's ugly is because it's a photoshopped picture of a CHALLENGER.
