Debuting for the 1964 model year, the Chevy Chevelle was the Bowtie brand’s A-body entry. The origin of the name is somewhat debated, being taken from a French or Hebrew female name meaning “beautiful and brave.”
Full-body GM cars including the Chevy Chevelle were completely redesigned for the 1966 model year. The Chevelle received new curved side windows, a new grille, bumpers, curved rear fenders that flared outward, and a flying buttress-style rear roofline for the coupe. His appearance is also more aggressive and muscular. Drivetrains included the 283 Small Block, 327 Small Block, or three different variations of the 396-cube Big Block, with the most powerful version producing 375 horsepower.
1967 brought a mild facelift to the Chevy Chevelle, with wraparound taillights featuring standard reverse lights. All trim levels and models can be had with front disc brakes, a folding steering column and optional Strato-Ease head restraints. The Chevelle SS gets its own VIN code that starts with 138.

They say necessity is the beginning of invention, and that was certainly the case with the original muscle car. The 1964 Pontiac GTO was born out of a need to attract young buyers to Pontiac showrooms, and it did well with more than 32,000 examples of the GTO in its first year of production. DeLorean took the name GTO from the Ferrari race car, but many people around Pontiac quipped that it was an abbreviation for Gas, Tires, and Oil.
Like other 1966 GM A-body cars, the Pontiac GTO received a fuller, curvier redesign, with a wider body, an inch wider rear track, wider rear fenders with more pronounced curves, a tunnel-shaped rear window with flying buttress C-pillars, new taillights and a new grille. The GTO’s cab features Strato front buckets, walnut dash veneer, and the ignition key is mounted on the dash to the right of the steering wheel. The GTO could be had as a convertible, two-door post, or coupe variant.
The Pontiac GTO became a standalone model for the 1967 model year. The 389 cube engine increased in displacement to 400 cubes. A single Rochester Quadrajet four-barrel was the only carburetor option. With larger valves, a higher flow head, and an intake borrowed from the 421 Super Duty, the 400 produced the same 360 horses as the previous 389 Tri Power.
