Yeah, of course a Dodge minivan is going to be more fuel efficient than a '68 Chevelle. It would take me roughly 1.5 seconds to choose the latter over the former.

I could fit the Chevy with electronic fuel injection and an overdrive transmission, improving the ease of starting and fuel economy (though I never owned a Chevy V8 of that period that was hard to start).

Though I really prefer the Olds 442 or Buick GS siblings, the Chevelle has soul. The minivan is an appliance.

The minivan is an appliance.

In some cases an affliction.

My brother had a beautiful 67 or 68 Olds 442. It was turquoise with white interior. Had a clear t-handle on the Hurst shifter.
