Just like the title says, I'm seriously thinking about selling my 1970 Chevelle Super Sport and my 02 Camaro SS 35th LE and going into a different direction, thats right, getting away from the older ones and getting into something newer. I've been into older classic cars for almost 30 years. Call it a midlife crisis or what ever you want, but I'm ready to make a change.

Here are a few pictures of my rides.

As the saying goes, "The grass is always greener..."

15+ years ago I sold my 69' SS 396 Chevelle. (L78/M21) I had it in my head that I wanted something newer with an overdrive, etc. Now, I am back to the older cars and regretting selling my 69' years ago. Stew on it real good and long before you 100% decide.

Just my $0.10 on the matter...

I'll be posting my Chevelle up in the classifieds pretty soon with a price.
The Camaro only has 41,000 mi. 500hp @ the crank M6 trans, moser 9" with 4:11 out back. QTP LT with GMMG chambered CB and CME (center mount exhaust) The guy I bought it from in NJ took it to English Town race track a few times where it ran 11.8's in the 1/4 on sticky tires. Yes it has line lock.:)

I can guaratee that they are both nice cars and would be proud to own either one of them, and what you see is what you get.

I dig the chevelle, what beautiful ride! Just remember once you get a new car you will never get the same looks and thumbs ups like in the ole chevelle. This is what my friend tells me who owns a new all tricked out camaro and who had a 63 grand prix all #s matching but blacked out with big wheels and lowered.

Good luck on your decision

I once thought I was ready to let go of my Chevelle. 20 years later, I'm cloning the first car. I agree. Make ABSOLUTELY SURE this is the direction you want to go before you let those beautiful cars go. A new 'Vette or Camaro are cool, but they aren't '70 Chevelles.

Good luck with your decision, either way.

What is going on lately ? Did aliens come down and do a mind meld on some great car owners ? And where were you guys when I had some cash ? Only kidding guys. Sure I am sad to see people who care so much about these cars deciding to sell them. The knowledge that you guys possess in huge, and I hope that you will continue to help out those of us who need your help.

I will ask, like Gary did, so what is going to replace these. You said you were going to head in a different direction. Can we come ? lol

After talking to Brian on the phone a few times,I think we think alike when it comes to our toys.For me it is time to move on and get my Grandsport.Maureen and I are going to take delivery at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green and drive it home.For us that will be a once in a lifetime trip.

AWESOME!!!
We chose that option when we bought a '02 Vette convert!!
Gary, you'll have a blast...very, very cool.
Silly me...didn't want to put all those highway miles on the return to GA on a brand new car...I trailered it home from BG. :(

Shown here later that same year drag racing it at CB'02...

This car will be driven like I stole it.

Looks like a new illness is hiting the internet. Guess I need to win power ball so I can buy both Chevelles, that way and start my own collection of 70 Chevelle's.
