Superlift air-adjustable rear shock absorbers (standard) let you level tho load.

1965 Chevy Impala Beautiful Shape for '65-CHEVROLET Everything over, under and around you will be beautifully different The roof, front, back, side, height, length, room, trim, windows, dash, upholstery, frame, suspension, colors - everything's new, finer, more luxurious everywhere you look.

1970 Chevrolet Monte SS 454 Our new one: Monte Carlo People have told us it looks like five or six thousand dollars. And naturally we're flattered. But let's understand each other right off. The Monte Carlo is not an expensive car. Not compared to other fine cars anyway. The revealing truth is: If you can afford a Chevy, you can afford a Monte Carlo. Which by itself is pretty good reason to run right out and buy one. But wait. There are more. For instance you'll be able to say to your friends and neighbors: "You wouldn't believe what a great car my Monte Carlo is to drive." It's true. The trim design and tidy dimensions make Monte Carlo one of the world's more maneuverable luxury cars. (Wheelbase is 116 inches.) And its 350-cubic-inch V8 makes it one of the more spirited. So if you think Monte Carlo is just another pretty face, you're in for a happy surprise. Power disc brakes, deep twist carpeting, electric clock, new higher intensity headla

'67 Chevrolet Impala SS 427 The big news isn't the gauges... it's what the gauges connect to! The real news about Impala is the 427-cu.-in. Turbo-Jet V8 you can put on the other side of the firewall to make the needles quiver. The street version generates 390 hp and 415 lbs.-ft. of torque on hydraulic lifters. A special-purpose edition turns out 425 hp and the same amount of torque on solid (ah, what sounds!) lifters. Both engines are of the same unique design that inspired our successful Turbo-Jet 396, which is now rated at 325 hp. Intake and exhaust ports feed directly to the combustion chambers with little interference from valves and push-rods. As a result, the Turbo-Jets breathe in a manner that makes ordinary engines feel short-winded — even downright asthmatic. As for the gauges — they're important, too. In fact, we're confident that the man who knows what's happening inside the engine compartment is a safer, more alert driver. Drive as only you know
