Default What kind of car would you trade you Chevelle for?

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.
