1970 SS Chevelle TV Commercial Ad

[@rockymtnhunter1776]

This is so true. Even today, you should expect to draw a crowd. Chevy sure did get this commercial right.

[@DeviousZen]

It's good to know that the 1970 Chevelle SS has at least enough badass to make up for any lack of badass you may experience while wearing a tight-fitting shirt and a scarf.

[@JohnSmith-op1tc]

James Hampton is the actor who was on "F Troop," and was asking questions from the front. The young lady who appears alongside the car early in the ad looks like Tina Holland, from "The Courtship of Eddie's Father." Those were pretty boss rides in their day.

[@tman5293]

Out of all the old cars that have been remade, why was this one left out!? Come on Chevy get it together! Would love to see the Chevelle SS back on the road!

[@bluelatios97]

I agree with the commentator, I think the Chevelle is underrated and often passed down by critics.

[@MrEdwin57]

I don't know about other cities back in the early 70's, but we in Philly even tho there was the Impala SS Chevelle SS the Nova SS and the Camaro SS , when your buddy said man l was sittin at the light and this SS pulled up beside me, we knew right away he was talking about the Chevelle SS !

[@vanfamco]

That commercial is better than most commercials nowadays

[@musclecarluvr1]

To any 70 Chevelle SS fan- I have uploaded the original Dealer Bill of Sale which has been with my Chevelle in the glove box since June,1970. It is interesting to see what certain options cost back then. Recorded in HD, it is clear to see.

[@afusake]

THIS IS AMAZING COMMERCIAL

[@caganb]

I wanted one then and still do.

[@fireite605]

Yea my dad just bought one its red with black strips. It so nice!

[@365degrees]

one of the nicest muscle cars ever. I like em' all

[@bobsilver3983]

1970, when cars were built, not made

[@JimJones-zc9mk]

Chevy needs to bring back the Chevelle.

[@bobsilver3983]

Jim Jones No way, the Legend cannot be duplicated

[@marka6187]

+Jim Jones I agree

[@fastcarfastbike]

agree with bob! the only way to enjoy one now should be having an old one.

[@CaptainFALKEN]

Look what they did to the Charger, Camaro, Mustang, Challenger, Dart, and importing Holden Manaros and Commodores from Australia and slapping Pontiac badges on them. They cannot manufacturer cars anymore without making them 3000 pounds heavier than the originals, deepthroating them with airbags, traction control, and having bodykits all over them from the factory. Modern = handicapped, plastic garbage. My car is 51 years old. Nothing is more stylish or appealing than an actual classic car. This is coming from a 22 year old. You're welcome.

[@dwnrety1]

i suddenly feel the urge to go out and purchase a brand new car from 40 years ago :)

[@Knockthefout]

I too

[@JohnnysGarage]

omg the sound

[@Veechie4short]

@loldecepticonlol he bought it with 6,000 original miles on it, all original everything functioning including the 8 track. that 40k was just a new interior, sound system, and 600hp 427 with racing exhaust and and trans.

[@mercmarc]

I like how the bias ply tires were considered a highlight .

[@Meridian83West]

I had a teacher in high school that had one of these. His was black and the stripes on the hood and rear deck were white. We all thought it was the coolest car in the parking lot. A bit of trivia: by 1970 the engine had been bored out to 402 cu. in., but Chevy still called it the "396" to avoid confusion with their small block 400 cu. in. V8.

[@SarahisSUPERawesome9]

i have a yellow one with black stripes...it was advertised as having a 396 but it has a 402

[@TheCamarodude96]

Now THATS a car!!

[@CamaroAmx]

@DeviousZen oddly the car is still cool as hell and thankfully our tastes in clothing has changed.

[@RemnantSRT440]

This the Challenger, 70's Charger, GTO, Mustang, are my fav.

[@lollipopraindrops]

they still attract a crowd

[@CJLD28]

my 72 camino draws a crowd too lol

[@adape0884frank]

They should bring this back one day.

[@Hiwaystar396]

I remember this one too! LOL

[@RoflWaffle21]

It still draws a crowd today

[@OldCarsAreBest]

I wouldn't have ordered the 396SS one, I'd have ordered the 454 LS6:)

[@robchallenger]

imagine walking into a chevy dealer and seeing one of these

[@gottitgood4me]

I just tried to order one at my local Chevy dealer, they said they are on back order, what a bummer!

[@saintidiot]

That is the fucking car

[@strongjohnful]

My dad has the 1970 454 SS chevelle

[@JJDaCool1]

No Better 70s Old School Period!!!!

[@booradley3400]

wish i could go back in time and buy 3 of these when they only cost $5000 each.

[@M21L35]

@ John Smith........That "pretty boss" terminology says you, like me, were THERE back in those halcyon days of yore.....

[@redbulletlive]

It's so strange to hear it start up on a dime. I love my 70' though :)

[@ralphseewald4069]

This was my very first car I bought it in 1976 for $1,000

[@8LLRoadranger]

@RemnantSRT440 That is a good grocery list!

[@Narutofan1000k]

It seems odd that the two best cars have the same body and frame style, Poniac GTO and the Chevrolet Chevelle....

[@strongjohnful]

He just described every import owner ive ever know

[@bareknuckles2u]

Oh yeah..now we're fuckin' talkin'...we're really fuckin' talkin' badass car!

[@strongjohnful]

i had the option of the 396ss but i ended up with the 454 ss

[@NHL2nite]

One of the extra's is James Hampton,,, actor...... at least it looks like him alot and sounds like him...... He was the Warden guy in Sling Blade

[@rlhmarines]

Those cars shared the same platform chassis similar to today's pontiac grand prix gxp and chevrolet impala ss of 2006. They did a much better job of making these cars look totally different from each other and they had style.

[@vincentforsberg4413]

Definite truth right here! #Chevy #AmericanMuscle

[@FoxRacingGaming]

@johnny3400 ya i remember when you could get an impala for a few hundred bucks...

[@88chevcaprice]

Yeah they knew right from the start that this would draw a crowd

[@ddevil66666t9]

the commercial looks like a sabre in the vice city beach. with people always walking around waiting to get hit.

[@caminoguy69]

actually these only costed about 3222 bucks the only things that costed 5000 were the cudas buicks and the corvettes

[@MARCOZR1]

#1 muscle car ever i wish i could buy me one=)

[@johnford5568]

what about the optional LS6 454 option?

[@kylehinkel]

very correct.

[@strongjohnful]

@zeppelin27901 i have a '70 chevelle ss 454, and i also have a '06 chevy cobalt, i had a friend drive my cobalt and i had the chevelle and we had a race and my chevelle creamed my cobalt

[@369NICK963]

my 2nd favorite car!! (no1 is the 69 dodge charger)

[@Reaper8808]

1970 Chevelle SS... the Demon of Death Valley.

[@McCall72]

0:25 that guy played Teen Wolf's dad in the 80's movie!

[@isukaman]

There seems to be no demand for a mid-size American made coupe. At least that's what Ford and GM must believe.

[@5litreho]

396 is what started it all......

[@MaestroTJS]

"...No matter hhhhwhere you take it."

[@ThrilloVanHouten]

It's cool how GM made multi-racial commercials back then.

[@jtb3797]

396? I WANT AN LS6

[@pacbeltrr38]

No Sir...... LS-7!!!! 465 (very underrated, like HEMI) horsepower, and the Aluminum Heads and Intake from the 69 ZL-1!!! 😱😱😱😵😵😵 Weighed only slightly more than a 350. It was a COPO, and you'd be damn lucky to even SEE one!

[@keirahigh]

id kill for this car no joke

[@dfinkie]

Groovy clothes man !

[@stangowner8687]

i wanted to see it move, and them talk about how "good" it handles :) nah im just teasing i wouldnt expect a classic ford to really do any better either.

[@AutoYoung]

@guitarplayer5293 And that's the problem right there. Everyone expects the car to look EXACTLY like it did back then. That's not what GM was going for. They were aimed with the task of designing a modern 69 Camaro that was more modern that retro. It's clearly got Camaro blood and a real Camaro enthusiasts can clearly c the similarities. People complained about the 4th gens but now everyone wants them cuz they're performance bargains.

[@MARCOZR1]

@npfast9 weight ratio may be???

[@mikeallmon1]

PFFT!!!! you should see the crowd my 1988 Yugo attracts!! Everyone has a chevelle

[@CaptainFALKEN]

Jealous poser alert

[@ricks70ss]

O YEAH!!!!

[@Maustrum]

even in Death Valley...

[@fawazalfridy5940]

The best car 👍

[@creepyguywithphone96]

I have a 72 chevlle

[@taz275]

@PacRatx07 how is it better, to my knowledge you cant do much with a 305, and it doesnt generally have alot of power

[@buckster2575]

D taylor you kick ass.not as much as chevys but close.

[@carmenmom]

now a days i hate ppl who r wannabe car experts bc they think cars like the lambo and ferari r better but i think this chevelle could smoke a lambo and ferari

[@ApartmentKing66]

Isn't that Brad Crandall voicing this spot?

[@Veechie4short]

@65438922 my uncle has one in toledo ohio, it's green with white stripes :-/ bought it for 70 grand and spent another 40 restoring it... only to put 24" rims on it :-(

[@Rafagafanhotobra]

"Chevrolet - On The Move"

[@spudone1000]

What The hell ... That was Broadway Joe Wasn't it?????

[@brooklyntheredone]

and the big three wanna know why their having "issues"...it's because there cars don't look like that anymore.Now just imagine if Ford,GM and Chrysler (sorry, Fiat)...Now just imagine if Ford,GM and Fiat started churning out old school styled muscle cars.Personally i'd love to see a "new" Chevelle and could you imagine how much HP they can get out of a 7 liter engine now?To bad that GM fuck up with old's and Pontiac....classic muscle cars still the best.

[@topgun42515]

the chevy nova looks alot like the chevelle

[@NegativeNumbers427]

It's a shame Moderner cars just don't sound the same...

[@dustmundo]

Nowadays? About 60 grand.

[@callmebigpapa]

@johnny3400 .............they still cost 5000 but are slighlty lighter with since the 5k one are full of rust holes :)

[@greg4161]

except a ram air iv judge

[@MrSpeedjunkie22]

@TropicalConfederate Nobody could've said that better than you man

[@dirtyedna]

yeah...order yours now !! Buy 10, wait 30 years and make $150,000. on each one !!

[@tman5293]

@888shockwave I'm gonna have to disagree with you on the Camaro. I think they did a horrible job on it. It looks nothing like the old one.

[@caminoguy69]

actually they only costed 3222 bucks

[@Jaket2000]

The only thing I hate about chevelles.... People allways want you to make it look like their goddamn dream car not your own.

[@TropicalConfederate]

This predator, usually hunts at night although not fully nocturnal. It prefers a diet of big block Mopar, and is carnivorous in nature. This meat eater should be approached with extreme caution. It's always open season and there are no limits.

[@TropicalConfederate]

Perhaps a 350 horse Chevelle, as you are comparing a car that is much lighter to an intermediate. Now a 454 chevelle, obviously would destroy an economy car such as a duster or nova. I have both a '70 454 chevelle and a '71 roadrunner 440, and the Chevelle will outrun the roadrunner, and i've smoked the two dusters I ran with the roadrunner.

[@Hand3521]

red w black stripes

[@LPcustom76]

lol, a uni-body chrysler guy calling a gm "rallte trap". what a maroon!

[@dylantelson2268]

My '00 monte carlo draws a crowd too haha

[@TheMrPeteChannel]

:40 Dat had 2 b 1 of da first Black couples in a TV ad

[@dreacul]

hahaha cool ad man!

[@Veechie4short]

@loldecepticonlol no one in their right mind... you must not have television where you live

[@npfast9]

@PacRatx07 no offence man, but i don't see how a 305 is better than the 454......thats 149 cubic in. difference........and alot more horsepower + torque can go into the 454 compared to the 305, jus sayin tht bigger engines put out mor torque which means tht it'll get off the line quicker, 454 is better in my own opinion

[@MUSLIMOUTLAW415]

nissan skyline r34 !!

[@MaestroTJS]

So, if you buy this car, you'll never be able to drive it because people will be crowding you the whole time. That's not really "on the move."
