I love the body style of the 69, the front end is sharp, and awesome looking. I like it better than the style of 70+

Re: 69 or 70?

Real tough call - my 2 favorite years...I guess I have to go with the 1970 for 2 reasons - 1) I think it has a little more muscular look than the sleeker 69 and - 2) because IMO, it is different enough as compared to the 71 and 72 at both the front (4 headlights w/ less chrome) and rear (square tailights), that it stands alone as a one-of-kind year...similar to a 69 Camaro being different enough from the ones before it, and after it.

1969 - The body had much better curves and style (just an opinion).

Re: 69 or 70?

I love the looks of the 69SS, but the 70 LS6 454 is just plain awsome!

Re: 69 or 70?

70 looks meaner, much cooler then the 69, but hey, thats just my opinion!

Re: 69 or 70?

can you really beat the looks of the '69 though? yes the '70 had the sick LS6(454ci-450hp) option ....but IMO the 69 looks better. And 69 is a cool fuckin #.....

I voted for the 70 Chevelle. Probably one of the baddest looking cars ever and probably the pinnacle of muscle cars. LS6 454 need I say more? I beleive those horsepower and torque figures were one of the (if not thee) highest until the Viper came along (with the exception of the ultra rare speciality cars like the Yenkos etc.). Boy do I wish they would have stuffed one of those LS6 engines in the Nova!

Re: 69 or 70?

Both '69 and '70 are the cleanest Chevelle executions in my opinion -- Each has it's own "mean-ness" -- If I could pick between both, it'd be the 70 because of it's rep, but you can't go wrong no matter which you decide on. One thing that should matter is the engine and tranny... I'd take the big block of any size over a small block and a stick over an automatic anyday. Convertables are the rarest SS models regardless of drivetrain, so if you can get one, don't wait to think about it.

Re: 69 or 70?

i love the 70. My buddy has an original 70 ss 454 black in his garage it has like 98,000 miles original on it. He had the car since he was 16, he bought it new. It has been sitting in the garage for 17 years, but was started every once in a while. He always has people wanting to buy it but he will never sell it. I got him motivated, so the other day, we did some work on it, and got it out of the garage for the first time in 17 years, it was great. It need little stuff done like it needs a new float in the tank, or sending unit, raditor overflow tank, cowl hood letter need glued on, needs new tires. Just little stuff like that. But that is one bad car.
