The April '03 HotRod (pp 62-63) has a Thom Taylor concept of a reskinned Monaro/GTO as an '04-'05 Chevelle SS.... complete with 70-72 SS styling influences.

They are asking folks to email them at hotrod@primedia.com (subject: '05 Chevelle) to tell them why they think Chevy should build it, then they'll forward everything to Chevrolet.

It rocks!!!

 

WOW!
That car is BADASS!
If they build that with plenty of HP and no Camaro on the lot consider one sold to me!
That looks great!

 

So does it look like the SS concept or what.
I believe me and you feel the same way about this.

 

It looks like a Monaro with a 71 Chevelle body kit.

Don't forget to email hotrod if you want to see this built.

 

thanks.

 

I think it looks Camaroish. I like it. I want one.

 

I emailed them, here is what I said:

GM,
Build it! That concept drawing of the '05 Chevrolet Chevelle has incredible styling. It made me say "Wow" as soon as my eyes laid sight on it. I like the GTO but I think its styling followed the Holden Monaro too much. Too bland in my opinion. I think its missing a hood scoop or something. It just doesn’t do it for me like the WS6 used to for Pontiac. The Chevelle drawing has a lot edgier and sexier approach. There isn’t one thing on that drawing that I don’t like. Offer it with those stripes too. They look great!

When 2006 or 2007 rolls around for me and its time for me to buy a car again I would greatly consider this Chevelle if three things happen.

#1 (most important) Chevrolet doesn’t bring back the Camaro, have a Concept fifth generation Camaro touring public auto shows or at least announce that it will be coming back.

#2 The Chevelle SS (or top model Chevelle) has to offer at least 400 horse power.

#3 The Chevelle SS (or top model Chevelle) has to have a sticker price with a decent amount of options for no more than $30,000.

Thank you for listening to my input.

Now that looks like a Chevelle to me. If need be I guess I would take that over a '06-'07 Mustang.

 

AbsoDamnlutely, I'd buy one in a Heartbeat!

 

Nice looking car!

It has RETRO all over it.But it does look good IMHO

 

The sloped angle that the grille is set at makes the whole front look like ***.
