1969 Chevelle SS is a monster of a car. Sweet lines and American muscle.

I had a 67 camaro. Fully rollerized 327,Muncie 4speed and a 411 rear-end. Ran mid to high 12s all day long on pump gas. Sold 7 years ago when I moved into the Bush. I sure miss that weapon
Nothing like going fast.
Edited after watching that video.
That sure got my blood pumping. And yeah my 450 horse was nothing like that

I think I remember you posted a picture with that car in it. I may be wrong tho. '67 Camaro is a sweet ride. Bet it was hard to sell it!!

dunno if it's a tough car, but i enjoyed building it. has a 405hp vortec 350 build with a type 20 and 12 bolt posi. ton of fun to drive. F bodies are great to build, they are fairly simple and parts are plentiful.

I'd say 405 ponies makes it pretty tuff.
Sharp looking ride

The toughest car I ever saw was a 1963 valiant with a Chrysler 170 slant 6 under the hood.
i drove one of those in a convertible config for years...it was virtually indestructible.
My Dad turned a 63 valiant station wagon into a slick looking hoopy truck.
Dodge missed a great chance by not marketing the same.

Wanna see tough cars? Do a search for βGambler 500β.
Folks in the PNW United States usually see these tough cars rolling around in August, September. A rally for cheep cars. Original rules were no vehicle with more than $500 spent on it. Not enforced now, but still cheep ass janky things. The teams go campsite to campsite, picking up as much garbage as they can haul along the way.
