Another newbie here
 

Just bought a 70 Chevelle from Barrett-Jackson
Still waiting for delivery from "Reliable" to California.
My first Chevelle, is recreation a bad word here? Frame off restoration.

Hi Andy,welcome.Waving Always nice to see another 70 owner. What kind and color did you get?

Welcome to the site. Very sharp car, man...congrats. There is nothing like driving a piece of good old American iron. :)

Beautiful car!

Gorgeous car. How was the experience buying from B-J? I have always wanted to ask a buyers perspective of it.

As for the word "recreation" use it all you feel. Words are just a formality, the car is what we care about.

Welcome! Looks like we have a WINNER!!! Looks good.

Welcome Andy from another 70 owner. Someone did a lot of work for a frame off. Enjoy your new ride. Post some more pics when you get it.

Hi Andy, nice car. Post of some more pics for us when you can.

Buying at Barrett-Jackson was fun. It was my first time. Mine was the third car on Thursday morning so there was no TV. The whole event is a giant car show.
We were there for four days. As a bidder you can get up close and personal with all the cars. You can talk to the owners and get a pretty good feel for the car. You're still taking a chance since you can't drive it but it is a real fun way to buy. Thanks for all the nice comments.

Very nice! Is that Fathom Blue, or something else? (looks a little brighter than Fathom Blue in the 2nd pic)

You can't go wrong with a blue Chevelle. :cool:
