Hello and welcome Valisa.

Welcome, more car details needed:thumbsup:

Welcome, more car details needed:thumbsup:

Not sure what you'd like to know..but i'll give you the run down
It's a 72 chevy chevelle, 4 dr...I bought this car for a damn beautiful price...and though the previous owner put about 3000 into it..it was ALL cosmetics *angry face*(ie. pretty tires and exhaust) it's a 350 malibu with original block and the carburetor is too big for the engine...I plan on fixing than within the next month. Newly rebuilt 2.02 heads, a mild race cam, Edlebrock manifold and a Holley four-barrel carb. New electronic ignition w/50000 volt coil (one of those worthless things he added) and new spark plug wires, new alternator and voltage regulator. new Monroes shocks all the way around with adjustable air shocks in the rear, new brakes, replaces sway bar links and new master cylinder. All sunpro guages including tach, temp, voltage and oil.
It use to have vinyl top which i'm not fond of but I didn't really dislike...it was kind of nice on that car. The vinyl top had a small tear in it and they pulled a HUGE chunk of it off...I decided to finish the rest, plan to scrape off the glue and repaint the entire car..not sure which color yet. On the UP side..I have YET to find any rust on this car...I almost teared up :p. The interior is BEAUTIFUL...The interior is near perfect condition...flawless headliner, perfect backseat, dash, carpet and only a small tear on the driver's side seat. The chrome looks bran new, it has no pitting, rust, or dents. The body is very straight and solid and is completely rust free..as is the trunk(the original jack is chillin' in there =P)
It has some MAJOR improvements that need to be done..but seriously..I love this car <3:D

Hey V,
Welcome. Let us know if we can help.

LOL hahhahah very nice hahahah

Laguna Hills...can't say I've ever been there...heard it but not familiar with the area..I'm in Long Beach..which I'M SURE everyone has heard of =P.

I plan on posting some (pictures of the car..not this bundle of beauty we call V hahaha) as soon as I get a new camera...I decided to attempt to "fix" my old one..and well..that didn't turn out NEARLY as well as I had hoped HAHAHAH. I do have a few pictures from my phone but they aren't clear :( i do have some from the old owner...BUT they are on adobe and I have NO idea how to save JUST the pictures and not the ENTIRE page...but I'll see what I can do. I plan to do some SERIOUS work on it..mind you I've NEVER attempted painting a car...but I'm going to on this one hahahaha luckily my brother knows a LOT about it so he's going to walk me through it....also plan to do quite a bit with the engine..first thing first....put a carburetor in it that isn't too big:sad:...There's a million little things....but for the time being...it's working out well.

Anyways..rambling..sorry =P

I'll see what I can do about some pics in a bit :D

Welcome V.

I might actually have to hit you up on that offer...I'm still getting back into the swing of things with cars....trying to remember everything my uncle taught me plus reading up and playing arond with my car on my days off...I know enough to keep mine running but don't know ShYt about restoring...my brother who is BRILLIANT is too busy most of the time...maybe you can teach me a thing or two:D
