1972 Chevy 1700

Though the car wore the famous blue bow-tie emblem and was marketed as a Chevrolet, the car was anything but. In actuality, the 1700 was little more than a rebadged Holden LJ Torana. Instead of importing cars from Australia or assembling completely knocked down kits (CKD) Korea, Shinjin tooled up its facilities in Incheon to build the vehicles entirely on its own. Shinjin also eschewed Holden’s standard four- and six-cylinder powertrains in favor of a unique 1.7-liter I-4 offering.
