- The new Vintage Chevrolet program will restore the classic models of the years 1960-1990.
- Some of the most memorable cars of the program include the Opala, the Chest and the 3100.
- GM is already working on the restoration of a 1990 Monza Classic EF and a Chevrolet C10.
Chevrolet has launched an intriguing restoration and restaurant service for some of its classic models, but there is a catch: it is currently limited to the Brazilian market. This new initiative celebrates the 100th anniversary of GM in the country and starts with an emblematic handful of cars. Unfortunately, there is no words to know if a similar program will go to the United States to soon.
The project is known as Vintage Chevrolet And seeks to restore and modify several vehicles produced locally from the 1960s to 1990s, including the Opala, the Chevette and the Van of 3100 Brasil. The program offers two approaches: traditional restorations that focus on preserving charm and original accessories for these classics, and restaurants that integrate modern technology to improve comfort, safety and reliability.

The company is already working on a few cars for the program. The first is a restoration on a Chevrolet Monza Classic 1990 EF. This car was a modified version of the Opel Ascona C built for Brazil and was the country’s first car with electronic fuel injection. There is no word on the quantity of work in the car, and it is not clear if the Monza belongs to GM itself or has been ordered by a private collector.
Chevrolet Vintage also offers the classic pick-up of 1975 Chevrolet C10 a restaurant treatment, exchanging in a V8 engine of a Camaro for a little additional muscle.

Several other car manufacturers offer catering programs, but generally, they are reserved for high prices models where it is logical to spend a lot of money to renovate and improve them.
In Japan, Nissan operates a catering program for Classic Skyline models. This goes to great efforts to bring the vehicle back to the way they were when they left the factory, stripping them, plunging the chassis to prevent Rust from forming and completely reconstructing the engines to bring them back to the factory’s costs.
As for the Vintage Chevy program? Well, let’s just say that their press release is about as detailed as a coffee towel. We do not know how much the restorations and restaurants will really go. One thing is certain: it is always a pilot program, so if it does not happen, it could end up being as short -lived as the passage of Monza as the first car from Brazil with electronic fuel injection.
