KC Phirus Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 I hope you didn't actually give her a thousand for it. Not my kinda muscle car, more of an Olds guy. But its a good starting point. Quote Link to comment
max121 Posted December 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Plan is to gut the interior and get the car clean and dried out Quote Link to comment
Jesse C. Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 For a grand, that Chevelle was a steal! I totally miss my 71! There is a great support system for the Chevelle when it comes to parts. This should be an easy build. Olds, so good GM killed it! :fu: Quote Link to comment
Lonestar Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Max, you made off like a thief, gratz on the find! I hope you didn't actually give her a thousand for it. Not my kinda muscle car, more of an Olds guy. But its a good starting point. Hey, these cars are getting harder to find. Most have been restored, destoried, or rusted to a point is where every sheetmetal panel will need to be replaced. The woman who sold it didn't know what she had. In the shape it was in, she could have got 5000 to 6000 easy, more if it's number's matching and yes, there are is someone who have paided that for the way it sat. That why I say, you scored big Max!

Fisch That was my biggest fear, watching that car waste away after being so close. As we were loading it up the landowner said he didn't want anything to do with his ex otherwise he would of sold it to me the 1st time I asked So that's why I never got anywhere with him :angry: the owner of the chevelle had not spoken to her ex in years she didn't even want to come into the same town as him.. Pretty amazing to get two people that mad at eachother to talk to eachother to sell me a car lol Quote Link to comment
