New 70 Chevelles To Be Built

[DavidKFla]

This is going to be available with a variety of power trains. This might be the only way that hot rodders can get real muscle cars in the future.
Built in Florida.

Hmmmm 150k for starters! Hard no thanks there.

 

[Slowpoke387]

I've always said if the manufacturers would bring back the old muscle cars exactly as they looked but with modern drive train, suspension, etc. that they'd sell a kajillion.

 

[DGatzby]

Shit looks like everything fun is $150k for starters now. Either keeping the RE or someone can buy it for $150k

 

[SilverBillet]

I would really prefer modern muscle to retro cars. Seems to me the interest in that generation is waning?

 

[MikeD1]

Not sure I'd buy from these guys even if I was willing to pony up $150K for a 'replica'. There were a lot of issues with the TA's - both in QC and l-o-n-g delivery times. I know one of the huge pissers was they would take orders (and deposits) but then push off builds/deliveries if some 'celeb' wander in & wanted one.

Kids still drool over the muscle cars
Especially when they sound all pissed off to boot.

Modern stuff is cool, nothing sounds like a cammed up big block with headers

Agreed. A lumpy cam with that barely idling throaty sound...

That's awesome!
But I'm WAY too lazy for that. I wanna walk in and buy a fully warrantied, already built one from the dealer.

Currently making my 55 a clone of a 60/70s hot rod.
Its a hell of an endeavor but its going to the chassis shop to get the rear end and trans lined up for the drive shaft (i hate not having access to a lift anymore).

I have my eyes on a 70 Chevelle with a bbc that was kind of a pro street deal but the guy wanted to put in on the street because its mega clean.
I might do a RS chassis with a stick. Especially since I cant seem to get a Hellcat. I'll order a crate and find a Mustang and stuff it in there.

Why can't you get a Hellcat?

Something tells me that these won't actually be replicas but current Camaros that if you squint or look at it from it certain angle it just might resemble a Chevelle but not really.

I'm with Boris above. All you need is a VIN tag, start with a Dynacorn shell and build from there.

I like watching Peterson Restorations on Youtube. Strictly vintage Mustangs however. Give him a bucket of rust dust, and if he can stick his hand in and pull out a VIN tag, *poof* he's built a brand new Mustang around it.

That's in my range for a 68 or 69 Charger R/T SE but, not a Chebby.

If it's just a camaro with modded sheet metal then its a no bueno.

If it's brand new with a modern drivetrain it's a different deal.

Long story short
HO Hellcats are shut off from ordering unless you get a JB.

Talking with the MSRP dealers - no allocations.
Allocations i have found are ADMs.
Other dealers on the JB list on Dodge Garage also do not have any allocations

Im holding out for a S/S. Worst case scenario, i get a JB and just order the 3.09 gears and have a 1 option JB LOL. But I don't want that.

There are times..I find it almost impossible to disagree with you
