Hello everyone,
New here and looking to buy my first chevelle. Open to 1964-1972 but prefer 1966-1970. Non SS ok, clone ok. Budget is $15k-30k, more concerned about being completely turn key or minimal work to be complete. Willing to go as far out as WA, NV, AZ but the closer the better. I look forward to getting to know others, getting help and eventually helping out others also. Thanks!

Welcome from Georgia ,I know of a nice 70 Malibu convertible in Nashville ,Tenn for just under $20K and its a very nice driver ,you could fly in and drive it back.

Got a link to it? I'm getting financed so they wanna send a local certified appraiser first. If it's approved i'll go out to see it in person.

I dont have a link as it belongs to a friend ,Chuck Hanson but I can e mail some recent pics if you provide your e mail .You may know him from HorsePower TV when he was the host of the show .

Welcome, if it belongs to Chuck Hanson I'm sure it's a nice car.

Thanks, I might also try hot August nights in Reno with Barrett Jackson in 3 weeks. Then there's mecum auction in Monterey the following week after. Not necessarily cars in the auction, but maybe finding a spectator with a car for sale. Any other searching tips or info would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome Titan. I would go with anything that Chuck has. He is a car guy and owns some beauties. I hope you talk to him before you go to any auctions. Besides, Chuck is a really nice, down to earth, honest about his cars kind of guy.

I'm open to others. Today i found 2 Malibu sport coupes? Has Vin # 136370. That's at 2 local classic car dealers in my area. Was wondering if anyone would check them out n tell me what they think. Both 1970 chevelles, both blue. One at www.myhotcars.com n other at specialtysales.com. Hoping for one as close to original as possible.
