It’s nice that it’s not just a Camaro with a name/supercharger slapped on it.

I don’t think I see a single exterior body panel that is shared with any 6th gen production Camaro. The interior yeah is the same but I’d argue more custom than any other due to the different seats (or did they say they reskinned them with Katzkin?) though they look to be an entirely different from the OEM seats style.

Even the mirrors seem to be different at least exterior-wise.

If I had a load of cash for toys I might consider one just for the uniqueness. But, I'd just as soon take a real 1970 Chevelle and make it new with drivetrain, suspension and modern interior.

Agreed... same here... I would take the 1970 Chevelle over this one, and do a ground up restoration if cash was not an issue.

The whole retro look is getting old so I’d take an original Chevelle over that.

Friend of mine has one on order. I'm looking forward to getting a ride in it. I'm not 100% on the aesthetic, front looks a little flat but it's not too shabby overall.

So help me out here guys. It looks like this company literally takes a G6 Camaro and basically replaces the body panels and engine with whatever (not just this Chevelle, but I thought the Trans Am looked like it too had the Camaro underneath). Is that right?

If so, do they have a deal with GM to provide the chassis and interior?

Not a fan but the original 1970 Chevelle yes. I would rather have one as compared to the revised version.

For what that thing would cost - buy original and beef it up…

No thanks. If I was going to spend that kinda money for a Chevelle SS, it would be a real 1970 SS.
