Summing up

Chevel 1970 Schwrolet SS Coupé was the final car, such as Muscle Cars, which was very popular all over the world. This was due to a series of laws passed in 1971 that limited emissions in the wake of the fuel crisis. With this in mind, manufacturers had no choice but to reduce the power of their engines. The Chevrolet company was also affected by a number of changes when the next car with only 245 hp engine was released.

After such changes, the enthusiasm for a special model of the car began to decline, which was a consequence of the completion of production of Chevrolet SS Chevelle in 1977.
