Re: [Chevelle-List] New Chevelle?

[Keith Cooper]

Car companies think that they are doing something great when they TRY to bring back a older model. They do not understand what made these cars great. These new models are all rounded off, the shapes and lines of the original are not repeated. The frame are cheap and weak. If there would repeat a classic by using the heavy steel frames, using the original shapes and lines and then added what they have learned on suspension, transmission and engine, then we might have something.  They should look at a classic as what could we have made better if we had known.  If you Mom said she was going to fix her old classic dish, she would not start making major changes to the recipe. She might tweak it, but not change it. So they need to make a classic and tweak it, that's all. And try to keep the engine simple, something we can work on. I have no problem with EFI, but lets not get too crazy and fill the engine compartment full or vacuum and electrical lines. I want to WORK on it.   Keith Cooper [EMAIL PROTECTED]   ----- Original Message ----- From: richard a schaefer To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, April 13, 2002 1:28 AM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] New Chevelle?

In 2003, or 2004. According to him, the article said it looked like a hot wheels car, but its called the Overbored 454. He also said it kind of looks like the Australian El Camino(Holden?). Has anybody heard about this? Any different stories? Any more info on it? Tim King 1966 Chevelle 454 Big Block
