So what is the best year Chevelle SS front end. I’m talking from the header panel down. So if you heard a car approaching from a distance and looked up to see it was a Chevelle. I singled out the SS cars as many have a different grill than non SS models.
I have my favorite year Chevelles but my choice for best looking front end is not at the top end of my favorite years overall.

I'm biased because I have owned a number of 66 models.

That said, 68 and 70 run close second and third place.

69 Chevelle front end is the most sinister looking front of any car ever, rivaled only by the '55 Chevy (which is equally awesome only after shaving the hood bird and adding a hood scoop)

66 has been my favorite since childhood. I finally got my 66SS my senior year of high school in 1988, and I still have it 34 years later, and it's still my favorite.

Looks like your '68 is waiting for laundry to come out of the washer.
Personally, I think 69-71 all look great.
The color of the car itself also comes into play, me thinks.

Here's a can of worms to open:

Anyone else feel that from 1964-1967, Pontiac actually had the better looking front end on the A-Bodies for each year?
Followed up by the worst looking A-Body front ends from 68-72?

 

[ann 68ss396ragtop]

Yeah on hideous color and pic is from seller with old junk tires .
Had a hardtop SS396 68 I drove from 1979 till 1982 this same awful color so dejavu and i did buy another 68 maroon car so multiple choice
DELETED all cross isle stuff

I somewhat agree, but I'll change the years a bit. 1965-1970, GTO's had better looking front ends. 1964 looked too "grandpa car" and 71-72 GTO front ends are just awful (Tempest / Lemans are much better in those years). Another caveat is that 68 & 69 need to have the exposed headlights, the hidden headlight front ends aren't as good looking.

Would you rather drive that.....or a Prius, a Chrysler K-Car, or a Kardashian?

 

[ann 68ss396ragtop]

Sorry

 

[hydro462]

My choice is the 66 GTO over all the muscle cars. lt was the best looking out of all the GTOs. The taillights are so cool looking and they don't have all that chrome. Its such a clean looking car.

Just kidding , a Grand Prix was a pretty bad ass car. My favorite GP year was 65 but all were nice. Pontiac did go extravagant with their front ends. The 65 GTO was a killer front end.

 

[hydro462]

I like the 69 best.

Thread got way off topic of Best Looking Chevelle SS Coming At You
My vote = 69
