Did I get a good deal?
After doing 6 months of research, i finally purchased a Chevelle. Personally, I think I got a good deal.. let me know what you think..
I just bought a 1971 Chevelle SS. Im pretty sure its a clone but the guy said its an orginal SS. It has a 454 in it. The engine is mint, the guy said it has 0 miles on it and has never been run. The exterior is pretty close to immaculate. The paint is 8/10 shape. Its red with 2 black racing stripes. All the metal work under looks good. Theres no holes or rust. The interior is another story. It has all the original interior parts but they are all junked up. It needs a complete interior restoration. Im thinking about $1500-$2000 in the interior from my research. Tires are new, rims are stock in great shape. All the lights work. I paid $5500 + $80 for shipping

You either got a smoking deal or I got f*cked. After doing my research I know I got f*cked. I bought a 72 Malibu with a 307ci and powerglide, drum front brakes and paid $4,995.00 plus drove 5 hours one way to get it. Then had to rent a Uhaul trailer to get it home. Heres what it looks like http://www.chevelleforum.net/showthread.php?t=1158

NoWorries...sounds like a really nice deal. I bet that some of the guys here will be able to tell you if it is a real SS by the Vin #'s.
Where are the pics ???? We love pics.

136371R138995
1= Chevrolet 36 = Malibu, El Camino* (Custom), Concours, 8-cylinder 37 = 2-door sport coupe 1 = 1971 R = Arlington, Texas 38995 = Sequential Production Number Nothing in the vin will ID it as a SS Model in 71, in 72 if the VIN has the letter "W" as the engine designation, the car had to be a Z15 SS-optioned Chevelle. While there is this change, Fisher Body Number plates still showed no indication of the option. Engine codes in the VIN were "W" for the LS5/454, "U" for the LS3/402, "J" for the L48/350-4, "H" for the L65/350-2, and "F" for the base/307-2 engines -Could not be ordered with the SS option. The SS package was an option from 69-71 you need paper work to document if it is a true SS . SS Cars 66-68 down started with a vin of 138. Sounds like you got a good deal on your car. As said above pictures.
