My Chevelle Replacement! - Page 3

FlintTony · #21 07-24-2013, 05:17 AM

I'm hunting for another Chevelle. I want one that isn't as nice as the 69 was. The numbers matching, all original cars are fantastic, but I'm over owning them. I had the 68 Z28, the 70 Z28. and the Chevelle that were all that way. It's way too much on my brain trying to keep the idiots away from my cars. I am going to build one that is similar to the Nova. One that I can beat the snot out of and not worry about it. Been thinking about a 67. I'd like to find a perfect body, build a 427 for it. I'm partial to that little ole 427 for some reason.

I know what you mean Tony. Mine is not numbers matching and it definitely needs a paint job but I'm not afraid to drive it and beat the daylights out of it. Lynda said I should look into getting a paint job for it. Sink $8,000 to $10,000 into a paint and sure as hell first time I take it out it'll get a stone chip or somebody will scratch it. That would really piss me off. Now it's like oh well, no big deal, it wasn't perfect to begin with.

None of them are ever perfect. It's one thing when you scratch it yourself,you wish you could just kick yourself in the butt hoping it would make you feel better. But when you come back to your car at carshow and find a scratch or chip on the fender caused from some idiot with a walletchain, that's different.
That's why I've always bought cars with decent paint, far from perfect, but nice enough to take them to shows. Cars were made to be driven! If they get chipped, I touch em up!

Hey you forgot about the 72 SS Camaro you sold me with non functioning clock. It is numbers matching as well and now has 39K on it, I've put 1500 miles on it in 18 months.

He doesn't want to talk about the Camaro Ric, non-functioning clock and all. Not the kind of car you want to brag about.

Thanks for understanding Hank. Every time that 72 Camaro is brought up, it makes me feel like a cheap, lying, scummy, dis-honest "used car salesman". I NEVER should have told Ric" Hey buddy, everything works as good as new". If only I could go back in time, I wouldn't have bought it in the first place. This will haunt me to my grave.Wait a second, I'm looking for a car with a perfect body! Hey Ric, blow that original engine up, then give me a call! I'm sure you can give me a discount, beings as that damn clock doesn't work!

I agree Brian. Cars were made to be driven and enjoyed. I look at flash and his wife. Look at the miles they have put on her Malibu. Those two enjoy the ride.

Yes we do.

Wow how senstive we are today... Must be that time of the month. The good news is that the clocks does work, just not when I'm in the car...it gained 4 hours last time I looked at it. As for blowing the motor up, I'm sure i'll blow the Chevelle up before I do the Camaro and if I do the Camaro I've already have a LSX 454 spec'd out for it....it would be sweet with a 6 speed behind it.

Now can we talk about the steering wheel you sold me? I have to paint the the adaptor and like Hank said in a earlier post, that i should not over do it as I'm not a youngster anymore so I have my work cut out.

Got some more swag for you next time I see you.
