747Racing Posted November 20, 2006 Report Posted November 20, 2006 Hey, I'm just wondering what you guys think of this... I'm putting the finishing touches on my 1967 Chevelle I restoring. I bought the Chevelle when I was 15 and it's taken me almost 7 years to get it where it is today. By the way, if I wanted to show the car how do I put in a picture? Anyways, I'm about to finish this car and I want to start another. I am a huge fan of Chevelles. I mean the Camaro is okay, but I consider that more of a sports car and I've never been a huge fan of the Nova. Anyways, I've found a line on a 454 block for 450 and I'm hoping to build a 1970 Chevelle SS. Well I thought I'd buy the block and I have a spare engine stand from my 67 and just have it sitting in my living room. Well about 20 minutes ago I found a 1970 Chevelle for sale, body's in good shape and it doesn't have a driveline. It has good floors and a good trunk floor too, the guys asking 4200 for the car, is this a good deal or not? Would you buy it? Let me know what you think, Cheers!

Sometimes the front of the frames twist and the camber can't be gotten, but a frame shop can repair that if neccessary, other than that it would be rust I would look for. I've built a ton of 1969 Chevelles when I was young. They aren't plentiful like they used to be. Check the car's condition and if it's decent make the best deal you can....

Mr. P. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I din't even blink at that one, my buddy once claimed he had "6 engines in his kitchen". I went to his house, and sure enough....
