3. Chevrolet 400 Super Sport
In the early 60’s, Ford and Chrysler introduced modern yet affordable cars to the Argentinean market. This left Chevrolet without a proper competitor. To regain their position in the market, Chevrolet presented the 400. It was basically the American Chevy II or Nova. The main version was a modest four-door sedan with a 3.2-liter straight-six engine.
The car was popular, but the rising racing and muscle car scene demanded a more powerful version. So in 1967, Chevrolet presented the 400 Super Sport. It was one of the first domestic muscle cars in Argentina, as well as in South America. The 400 Super Sport had updated brakes and a suspension. It also came with a tuned version of the venerable 250 CID(4.1-liter) straight six with 155 HP.
The car looked different than the American-made Chevy II since the 400 Super Sport had four headlights and blackout grille. It also came with fake hood scoops similar to the 1966 Chevelle SS. And even though it was a four-door sedan, the 400 Super Sport was popular with Argentinean racers.
