Title says it all.

I would go with a Chevelle Convertible or Hemi car.

A 70 TRANS-AM with a 455, in fact I would throw in my Camaro (I would fix the clock) for a really really nice one.

I was torn between building a 70 RS/SS camaro or this chevelle. I wanted the chevelle more. So I got what i want.
Only thing that may sway me is a 63 Impala SS. I have had 2 at the same time and I like them. But I to picky it never would happen. Have to be right color black interior,
Air, 4-speed posi.

That is why I prefer to build clones over the real mcCoy's. I want what I want and I would end up changing everything anyway. I had a 68 SS white, red interior, black top. No options like Air, power brakes, had steering tho. Looked nice, just ain't my style.

Sold my 69 Chevelle last year to get a 71 Monte Carlo. That is really what I was looking for 15 years ago when I bought the Chevelle. First car was a 72 Monte and regretted getting rid of it...no money to fix it up back then.

Sold the Chevelle and ended up with a much nicer Monte and some cash in my pocket. The Chevelle needed a lot and the Monte already has the big stuff done.

I can't say that I would trade it for any other car. Maybe grumpy would say an older Chevelle. But it is mine and isn't going anywhere.

Hey Chevymaher, I bought a 63 Imp SS Z11 in 68 for $6,000.00. (they were $4,000.00 new in 63) Didn't know it at the time, but there were only 57 of them made. They were Chevy's answer to Fords showroom race cars. It had a 409 built up to a 427 with 450 hp right out the door. Had some great times with that car, but like a dumb young guy, I beat the crap outa that car. There are only 7 recorded in existence now and worth a fortune.

Cool. One of mine was a original 409 car but it had a small block when I got it. But it had the cool fish scale tail and dash treatment like the trans ams had.

My Chevelle was my very first car. I've owned it now for almost 27 years and I will never sell it. I'm certain it will be handed down and stay in the family.

Perhaps a 66 nova or a vega.
Wonder what they would turn into.

Just about any interesting chevrolet that is not a 66 Chevelle.
Finally bored with 66 Chevelles. It only took 30 years for that to happen.

Both of those vettes are sweet looking!

The only thing I would ever trade my car for would be a Lime Green 70 Road Runner with 383 and 4 spd on the floor. My dad bought one brand new when he was growing up and I would love to surprise him with one. I've been keeping an eye out for them but they go for a small fortune even in really bad shape. Then I'd probably get another chevelle. LOL
