We are bringing you some very special Chevelles in the March 2017 issue, including one of the most significant—and in some ways mysterious—Chevelle finds ever. Our cover car is a low-VIN 1970 Chevelle SS396 built with a very strange mix of 1969 and 1970 components. You will have to read the whole story to find out why its owner believes it to be a pilot car for the 1970 model year, and to help us figure out how it escaped Chevrolet’s crusher and wound up a rusty old street race car in someone’s backyard.
The other special Chevelles in this issue include a flawless, 4,300-mile, unrestored LS6 and a sleeper 1969 300 Deluxe model with a big surprise underhood.
Other stories include our overall coverage of the 2016 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals (MCACN), which blew our minds once again; a feature on Hubert Platt’s 1969 Mustang Cobra Jet Drag Team car, finally restored after years in storage; a story about a very clean 1970 Trans Am (and why those cars are something of a one-year wonder); a tech feature on concours-detailing a 1970 Oldsmobile 4-4-2 W-30; and the first installment of a two-part muscle car glossary. From AAR to Z/28, we’ll fill you in on what all those numbers and letters mean.
Watch for the March 2017 issue of Muscle Car Review, on sale Feb. 10.
