Legendary Chevys | The Ultimate Compilation 

I love my 1967 Corvette L79 Coupe. It’s all original, and the car won NCRS top flight award three times.

The 1963 split window Corvette is the most aesthetically pleasing sports car from the US. I say that begrudgingly as my mother is a Ford Motor Company retiree.

My grandmother had a 1967 Impala SS, 327, white with vinyl roof, 327 and fender skirts. She bought it new in Fort Worth. I learned to drive in it. I never saw another SS with fender skirts.

The Cheetah was a simply beautiful car !!!

This is STILL one of the best car shows available

When I was a kid there was a Cheetah bodied slot car that I loved. Beautiful!

Thanks for posting these old collections Dennis. I’ve been watching the show since it started when I was just a teenager and this takes me back!

Dennis, you out did yourself with this episode. I love all of them, but that 55 is the cherry on the cake. A real beauty 🏆

Love the way what Cheetah sounded!

Thanks Dennis and Co.!

I had a Royal Plum '67 RS convertible, with the white deluxe interior, with a 327. What a great car-thanks, guys!

Still sporting the old scool "Certified Car Nut" decal on my Blown 57Chevy. Since 1985 when the car was restored.

Just what I need after putting in a long day in the shop. I'm currently working on a 73 Plymouth Duster but it sits in the middle of the shop with a 1956 Chevrolet BelAir 2 door hardtop on one side and a 1955 Chevrolet BelAir on the other side of it.

That cheetah is something else. Dream car.

Some of the nicest cars on Earth and some really good people great show

That 1964 Cheetah Supercar is INCREDIBLE!!!

54:26 - props to the camera guy that had to lay down in the luggage area getting the shot from inside.

Oh man, this is neat! An era of segments I remember from when I had cable or dish and also enjoyed home dvd's or rentals! Thanks for presenting it in entirety, super cool...

I remember reading about the Cheetah back in the 80s in Muscle Car Review magazine. I was still in high school then. I thought it was the coolest looking race car I had ever seen ......and it still is! Its a down right shame that that car never got the backing it deserved.

I had a 77 Olds Cutlass salon with a 403 the last year they produced it. I love that car and I totally miss it so I really love seeing this

I tried to pick a favorite, but I can't. These cars are all gorgeous!

That '67 SS had fender lamps just like my ol' '67 Bel Air station wagon. Loved that ol' car. My station wagon had the tow package which gave it a 4.10 geared 10 bolt rearend and upper trailing arms. To bad someone took the big block out of it and put in a 283 :( It was an easy to work on car...even under the dash was easy. I prefer blue color I had on the station wagon.

Goodness gracious all these cars so crazy, man. Absolute grail cars, every single one

Beautiful cars. Thank you, Dennis.

Love this stuff miss them driving around the streets when I was a child thanks sir

I love that stash. !!!!!

1962 409 belair what a car..........1970 454 chevelle ss,what a car 1967 427 impala,what a car(jesus,its gorgeous) i want them all and know i cant have them...(sad face)

Great job Dennis and crew 👏

Hey hey... You're Killing it ... Dennis! Thanks for Sharing... Brother

Was unaware of the reason for the end of the Cheetah. They ended production before they even had any chance of working out the initial design bugs... such a shame. Was always a favorite of mine, though rarely seen.

My buddy had a 70 Chevelle 454 4bbl 411 posi. Motion package. WHAT A BEAR. BAD TO THE BONE.

Great video, really enjoyed!!!! 👍🙂😉👌

EXACTLY what I needed 🤩

The cheetah didn't come out of Detroit. It was built in Anaheim calif, by Bill Thomas. I drove a couple, they would roast you. And didn't handle very well. But the were a beautiful car.

The Cheetah has always been a favorite of mine. Most people have no idea it ever ran, and won. My favorite is the topless CroSal Special, one of the fastest and most beautiful race cars ever built.

Some racing fuel tweak timing .. great video actually drive the Ls6 the way it was designed.

Awesome video. Thanks!

I love these old episodes it’s strange to think that the episode these segments came from are the same age or older now than then cars they were featuring at the time of recording.

I absolutly love muscle cars, sports cars and motorcycles. In 77 I had a KZ900, and in 84 I had a 69 chevelle SS 396 69 el camino with a 350. 68 fairlane that I restored with a 351 windsor canning 5he tired 289. So I have a basic knowledge of the space. I love the maticulous restoration process but to leave things unfinished is a shame in my eyes. The factory might have left things iffy because of corporate bs, but if your goiing thru thr car finish the loose ends. IMHO thanks and keep it between trhe ditches!

At risk of death by chevy fan: Watching this makes me miss my Oldsmobile cutlasses! I had two. First a 1970 Cutlas coup, and a 72 Cutlass Supreme. I had a 92 camero with the small v6, and it felt quick, but wasn't, it was just the stiffer ride and tighter road handling that made it feel that way. Clocked my slightly souped up 72 blew it away.

LOVE THIS VIDEO !!!!

The Corvair was the first Yenko and it was fast and handled great. TransAm was what got me hooked on race track racing and I dropped 1/4 mile racing as boring compared to it. I like that dark green metallic on that Yenko Camaro.

👍 great stuff Denis

Very cool!

I bet the guy explaining the restoration of that beautiful siler '67 vette is a lot of fun at parties. I would not say anything, but he was rude to Dennis when he was being complimentary of his work. People who think they need to hide and keep secrets about certain restoration techniques are missing a great opportunity to help people in the car community, and instead being pretentious jerks. Luckily I have found that they are rare in the car hobby, and 9 out of 10 people are glad to tell/show/help you do something that they do really well. Im not talking about someone doing something they do for a living for free, thats a whole different scenario. If you drove that '67 vette 10 miles it would take him 3 years to go over the entire underside with a q tip. lol. Id love to see his face if the guy that owns it got in and immediately started doing donuts in it. Haha!

soooo!!!!!!!!!!!! goood!!!!!!! from PUERTO RICO!!!!!!!!

Thank you Dennis I am cherolet classic 👍

Chevy til I die 😎👍

That Cheetah weighed about the sa.e as my CRX but with 4 times the power

A friend of mine had a 68 Camaro z28 with a 302 high performance 4 speed and 411 gears!! One Scarey CAR!! It would go sideways if you did not control your FOOT!!

The nuance in body styles are interesting. I prefer the 65 and 66 in the Impala but definitely prefer the 67 lines in the Pontiac GTO. But love them all against Ford's or Dodges.

4 spd big block Impala... yummie ! ....but the red accent rally rims not my style ! The rally rims nice ( just not the red ) Beautiful car ✌😎

I had a 68 dirt car Chevelle 350 two barrel back in the late 70,s

The significance of the factory hood scoop of the 427 67 Impala (At 13 min) mark was Chevy was planning to have it matched up with a fuel injection system, and they cancelled it. d

Very nice as always Wish we could have some of those here in the land of Oz

I will step in on chevy big block boys out per this video big must respect the chevy small blocks that did get them the most of the most!!!

The Americans did make some beautiful cars in there day. I love the old cars 🚗

First day off from the shop I want nothing to do with cars. O wait my classic car is on lol

I'm in love, be still my heart ❤❤ Yes I'm talking about this Bel Air !

36:13 I always thought a docudrama based on ZAD would be really interesting.

I had a '72 Nova SS. Man, I miss that car. When i got it it was primer grey. The guy was gonna paint it but his wife made him sell it before he got around to it. I was gonna paint it but after the 5th or 6th time a cop pulled me over just to tell me how bad ass it looked and offered to buy it I decided to stick with primer grey and I left it that color. Lol.

I like thatt grip one ☝🏻

67 IMPALA 40 years ago I hit an oak tree head on at 80 miles per hour...lucky to be alive...

I think the Best running LS6 Cars ran 13,10 or so!

Ps I love this episode!

48:32 - the roller lifters were actually shared or of a similar design with the outgoing LT1 and other Chevy small blocks back to the late 70's.

Never new the cheetah existed wow

16 wow 1st time I ever heard that…wanna put the smog back on it!!!!

Dennis the 67 was same body as 68 impala the 69 and 70 were similar just front and rear was a little different

Dennis - A slight issue with your comment that "just when the Cheetah was starting to get a name for itself using its great speed and handling".........It absolutely had great speed ability due to its incredible power to weight ratio, but the car's handling was plagued with serious problems inherent in its ultra small wheelbase and poor/inadequate frame physics.

In 1972 I bought a 67 camaro that was painted plum mist metallic. Never could find the color listed as a Camaro color but was listed as a firebird color. Never saw another Camaro painted that color but did see alot of firebirds in that color. How rare was that color on a Camaro. It was a plain Jane 327/275 4 speeds of

I’ve always loved the design of the old chevys but preferred the sound of the mopars

Don't recall if it was ever mentioned if the Cheetah is one of the few factory built cars $$$ or one of the assembled ones from parts after the fire or one of the kit versions.

I'm a Bad Bascom guy myself, but it doesn't exist any more...and if you believe that SS427 weighs 3600 pounds, I know a nice bridge you might like to buy.

That chevelle is really nice but, it's running very slow times for an LS6 car

How could you not make comparison passes of the '70 Chevelle LS6 without the backseat driver ballast! PLEASE add a followup!

Great video. I don’t what to be pedantic but there are a couple times when Dennis says 70 Camaro but shows a picture of a 69 Camaro. One is at 54:37 when he’s talking about David Holls. I know Dennis knows the difference. He is very knowledgeable. Still a great video.

from what I under stand is the 409 cylinder heads had no combustion chamber (flat) and the piston at TDC was below the deck and and that was the combustion chamber Old Jags did the same deal.

Hey Dennis, whenever I see you in an automotive video I always wonder if what you're driving wouldn't handle and accelerate better without all the extra weight of that Mustache... 😁

Skip to w5 mins if u wanna see the 64 cheetahs 🐆

When I was racing, many years ago, in northern California I remember an orange Cheetah that was very fast and loud. Does anyone know who drove that car at Vacaville or Cotati race tracks?

The Cheetah is so much better than the Cobra in so many ways. I'd love to build a replica

Is there any type of connection between the 'Cheetah' roadster with the #110 on the car and the old 1955 Porsche 950 Spyder driven by the actor James Dean the day he died in a horrific car crash on the way to a race at Laguna Seca? The actor died but his mechanic survived the crash. The Porsche also had the 110 insignia on the hood of the car and was purportedly a 'cursed' car that not only killed James Dean but led to the deaths of several people who purchased the parts from the wrecked car.

Off the shelf parts car. It did some good things but not that much. Tried to be another cover a killer but came up short.

Why isn't my daily driver 65 G10 in here?

I always like listening to muscle car guys when they start rattling off all the stuff about their engines. It's like that Technical Jargon Overload video where the guy starts saying random nonsense words because they sound hi-tech.

One of the last great years for cars until they started doing silly things like running rubber hose lines from the carb that ran to the firewall and dead ended into a round cylinder bucket for fuel economy.

What was that huge wet spot from under the Corvette?

The 409 was also used in over rode trucks. (0 plus 90 mph

#chevycheetah

Absolutely a very cool looking car that was unique in appearance and construction. However, to simply call it legendary does not tell the whole (honest) story of the car. It really was a legendary failure for several reasons. The 427 Cobra was known to be very warm in the cockpit. The Cheetah went well beyond that in being closer to a blast furnace for the driver. One team actually cut the top of the car off in a desperate attempt to make it bearable for the driver! The 90" wheelbase put the driver much closer to the engine headers and there was inadequate venting of the engine compartment. The driving position was quite uncomfortable due to the short wheelbase. There wasn't even room for a driveshaft, and the tailshaft of the tranny hooked directly to the differential! The chassis design left a great deal of issues that contributed to "serious" handling problems. The engine was prone to overheating as a result of inadequate venting, but that was later resolved with the use of a NASCAR radiator. Finally, the car was equipped with drum brakes rather than the much more versatile and effective discs........? Not sure whose idea that was but it was a bad one considering this car's incredible power to weight ratio! The car ended up being good for one kind of racing - straight line drag racing, but overall, the car was a failure on road racing circuits which it really was designed for.

The 67 and 68 Impalas looked alike...the 69s were totally restyled

Cheetah vs Banshee

where is the yenko stinger.

A buddy had a Nova 70 or so, set up to race but drive home. Scary car, break your neck fast! 😨 🤣 So much fun, but scare me? Oh, now remember airplane fuel, that would do it ?

Me gustan

Not much sound deadening in the 62.

No Wonder my modified smog Motor low compression '79 Z-28 beat one of these.. I ran 13.56 at 107 MPH ..

Disc brakes came out before 1967.
