Hello all I have been visiting the site for years because I truly love the chevelle, but decided to become an official member a couple of days ago. At the present time I don't own a chevelle but hopefully in the very near future will buy a 1970-1971 can be a roller or a decent finish car. There are so many scams out there and I don't want to be got. I presently own a 72 camaro,and a 2005 suzuki limited hayabusa motorcycle.
I have been eyeing this car but would like to hear what you guys think.

No pictures of the under carriage, that would concern me, but overall looks like a nice car.
I do not know that much about the 70's though.
Still, I would find someone local to look at it up close for you, but at $13,900.00 and what did look good on the car, I don't see how you could go wrong imo.
Hey welcome aboard. I peruse Hermans Classic cars quite regularly(he posts for sale ads a lot on Team Camaro). I notice a trend in most of his cars that they are a little rough around the edges. His prices do seem to be inline of the quality though from what I have seen via the pics or maybe slightly over what I perceive the cars might be worth. Not way overpriced as other dealers you commonly see though. The video option he has now is cool.
If I was to be interested in a car from there I would have to see it with my own eyes first though.
When looking at cars long distance you need to factor in a travel budget. Cheaping out on the inspection is where I see most folks end up getting the shaft. You need to see it for yoursef.

I, for one would NEVER buy a car sight unseen.

"Nice driver quality paint" means "looks great in pictures but you'll be disappointed".......
I, also would NEVER buy a car sight unseen.

Hello, and welcome to the best site around. I'm with the rest of the guys, put it on a lift and look at it. Have all the engine bay wiring checked out and put away, it looks like someones running internet and phone lines acrossed the firewall. You have any pic's of the Camaro and 'Busa?

Well I am official, I am the proud owner of a 1970 chevelle. Man I feel like a new papa. I purchase the car from a team member MAC69 who is a nice guy, with a lot of nice rides himself. I will soon start the restore on this guy so I will be needing advice and technical help from you guys.
The car was a race car, but I want to restore it back to original.
