Me and Frank(yzr2k) were arguing about the best looking chevelles.  I was pro 66, 68, 69 hard tops. He wanted 67, 69, and 70.  I personally don't think the cowl hoods look tuff.  Just imagine one of those suckers in your driveway(If you own one, I would like to know your adress and have a copy made of the key, Cause me + frank will be visiting soon).  

Anyways, I told him he was wrong, Since I am always right and he didn't agree with me(yet again making him wrong).  So please, with out further waiting agree with me the side of good and tell him hes wrong! :)

Your both wrong. LOL :biggrin:

Since the topic says what's your favorite MUSCLE CAR (not, what's your favorite chevelle) I'm going to go different.

I'd say a '69 Plymouth Road Runner. (Sorry GM fans)

First off Scary,I said the '67 Chevelle.I never made mention to the post '67 body style because that is an entirely different body style.

If I were to pick a Chevelle that is post '67,it would be a 1970 because I like the single square tail light on each side.

To me,that was the last of the great muscle cars from GM.

I'm not much into cars, but The Dukes of Hazzard won me over.  I like those Chargers.  

Now General, explain to me why you didn't choose that one?  :)

It was Muscle Car heaven at the car show yesterday...There were about 5 or 6 '66-'67 Chevelles, about the same number of '68-'72, mostly in the '70'71 range.  TONS of GTOs, it was a GTO club sponsored event.  Only two other '70s Corvettes (mine's a '74).  Several early 60's Vettes, though.

Anyway, back to the topic...

My favorite Muscle Car is the '68-'69 GTO, hardtop, 400 Ram Air, hideaway headlights.  Awesome...when I find a good one with the right options that'll be my next project car.

I'm also partial to the '68-'70 Chargers, and my buddy has some nice big cars (Caprice, Impala) from the late '60s with big block engines.

I think my list of favorites would be too long...

I really like the 1967 Camaro SS. I had one and it was great. I also had a Buick Skylark Grand Sport. I can't remember the year. I think it was a 65. Very nice car. I thought it was really fast until a friend gave me a ride in his GTO. That car was serious!

When I was a kid, my older brother had a ****in' 68 Firebird with the 454 (or was it a 455??), dual exhaust, that thing smoked!!! He sold it at some point. I would love to get my hands on one now. Don't see em' much....Man, that thing was awsome!

'71-'73 Firebird Formula 350 or 400.

I really like the body on that and the way the scoops went almost the entire length of the hood.

Now let me see if my memory serves me correctly. ZL-1 option was available only in 1969, cost approximately ?.00, only 69 Camaros were built of which less then half still exist, and only 2 vetts were manufactured.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
