Thanx. I really am a dummy when it comes to this stuff...I have seen the term "bulid sheet" used in several posts. What exactly is a build sheet, what does it look like, and where are the most common places it may be located? I'm guessing the engine pad is the little tab that I found the numbers stamped on?? Again, thanx...and any advice is greatly appreciated!!!

Build sheet was used by the assembly worker to put the options on the car that it should have on it. They were never intended to be put in the car, but rather then throw them away they put them anyplace they could. They have been found under the carpet, glued to the back of the drivers door panel, in the back seat upper frame springs, on top of the gas tank. Black Cherry car is a very nice color. Looking at the motor a lot of original parts are gone. This car will need a lot of work.

more info and photos
 

I got a chance to go back out and get a few more photos and information today. I had a friend who says he knows a little about cars go with me. We were unable to roll the car out of the storage shed, so I still don't have a good photo of the front of the car. I was able to get a close-up photo of the engine pad...it has two numbers on it: T1021CRT and 10K182280, which my friend says proves this is the engine that came in the car. He says it is an LS5-454. However, he also says the sheet metal is pretty badly rusted, so he thinks I would be better off taking the car to a car crusher. Any thoughts?

NO ,Dont crush it . Someone will restore it and 70 is a real popular year Chevelle so it wont be a problem to sell it .

For around 1500 you can buy all the replacement panels and less if you can get patch panels. Crushing that car would be like slapping your wife. You just don't do it.

If that is a number matching LS5 there is no way that car should be crushed. I have seen far worst car saved. It has value and someone out there is dying to rebuild that car.

If all he wants is scrap metal prices for that car, I will drive back and pick it up.

Having the original engine and being what looks to be a true 70 SS it definitely has value. It will take a lot of money and time but there are plenty of people that would take on that project.

Ok, Thanx to everyone for the info and input. So if someone wants to restore this car, what kind of price tag should we put on it...I want to be fair to the friend I'm selling it for, but want it gone pretty quickly also...a quick sale without a lot of back and forth haggling. How much folks?

Hello Fellow Enthusiasts...

I am looking for a friend with a large storage unit containing an old desirable classic car. It can be (in order of preference) an early Chevelle convertible, a 60's Jaguar XKE Type Roadster, or a 50's MG-T series. ;)

I celebrate the good fortune that touches those around me.
Enjoy,
Bob

Now, a serious answer. I see them going all over the spectrum depending on condition, degree of rust, health of the engine and drive train. You can get a ballpark sense of its value by checking out similar cars on ebay. Certainly not the last word or authority, but it represents a large market and will show what similar examples have been sold for.

There are other sites, some have just stupid high prices, but look at several to find a range.

(I just gave 7500 for a real solid '65 roller convertible.)
Good luck,
Bob
