Default Faster (the movie) Chevelle SS

so my wife and i watched a movie this weekend and i instantly fell in love! it was the movie Faster with The Rock but he had a car that i was in love with! it was a Chevelle but it looked different to me and i couldnt put my finger on it until i saw the extras. here are a few pics of the car






so after watching the credits i then understood what was so different about it. its a 72 body and chassis with a 70ss front clip. overall it was a great looking car but man i was shocked that i am learning that much about chevelles that i was able to figure out that something looked different about that chevelle and now i know why

The Rock is the man!

Sounds like you've completed your indoctrination into the Chevelle brotherhood. Congrats!

I have not yet seen that one ,maybe Ill find a DVD during the yard sales this year .Nice looking car even though its a mixed year car. I can understand why they done that because the 71/2 rear looks so much better than the 70.Just my unofficial oppinion.

I've seen the movie when it came out. It's a 71 Malibu cloned into a SS with the 70 front end. Still has the Malibu dash too. I saw pictures of it totaled before on team chevelle so they must have a few I would think.

Yup, they started with a 71'-72' car, but the producers felt the 70' was better looking and something the audience could recognize more.

I think they are all great looking automobiles 64'-72', and I may get flamed for this - but the 73' & 74' cars are starting to grow on me a little.

This is what we are doing to mine. (a 1972) But it is going red with black rally stripes, no ss emblem, 454, 4 or 5 speed, black seats with red stitching to match paint and torque thrusts or slot mags.

I love my '72 and I would never harass anyone for their car choices. Everyone has different tastes. Me I like mine black with the silver stripe on the side. I have had a lot of people who like it and some that don't. I think to myself, that is OK, you won't ever have to drive it, cause it's mine, all mine. lol
