1955-1978 Chev Chevelle/Nova/Apache/El Camino market review 2020

Mid-size US Chevrolets and pickups were rare sights in Australia as new cars. The exception was a black Nova SS spectacularly raced by Touring Car Champion Norm Beechey, yet even its high-profile didn’t spark a big influx of imports.

Novas and four-door Chevy IIs have become relatively expensive of late and buyers may prefer to spend their $50,000 on a larger and bigger-engined Chevelle SS. The Chevelle from 1964 also provided a base for the brand’s El Camino pickup which typically costs $30,000 but can reach $50K in SS trim.

Apache and Cameo trucks were virtually unknown in Australia until a few years back and prices hover around $50,000.

Apache/Cameo 1955-64 $55,935 [12]

Chevelle 1964-68 $57,630 [7]

Chevelle SS 1969-73 $58,410 [9]

Nova V8 1963-67 $54,835 [6]
