Been watching both of these and wondering what folks opinions are. Both appear to be in Texas.

More rough but lots of extra parts.

That 2nd one could be a great deal.
I'd like to see the 10 exhaust manifolds and the 9 cyl heads that he has.
879 and 178 manifolds are hitting over $500 a pair now days.

could be a gold mine there !

If I ever hit the lotto, I'll snatch up every one of these overlooked derelict cars and do beautiful ground up restorations on them. I'd go down in history as the man who owned the most 69 Chevelles. 100 of these cars wouldn't be enough for me.

Man, the before pics are awesome !

When I see one like this, it just eats me up. I'd love to pour hours and days into it to bring to back to it's former glory.

The car that got me hooked on these 69 Chevelles was a 69 brown w/black vinyl top, black bench seat 4 speed. yowza

Wrong console lid on the first car. Kinda looks cobbled together. wrong engine ...yuk

2nd car seems like a better buy

I'm always glad when someone buys an old Chevelle and restores it.

I sent the seller in the first ad a message telling him some items that are not correct for an L78.

I think I'll print out some of the pics to show the next schmuck who offers me $2500 for mine.

I've seen that second car run on E-bay before so I guess the first buyer backed out for some reason and it got re-listed. Rough car, lots of work, but lots of extra stuff comes with it. Wish I had enough room for it all, its not that far away from me.
