Hello,

Long time lurker, first time poster...at 42 I am finally getting back to my roots to find a '70 Chevelle to restore/modify. I owned one 20 some years ago in PA, that I bought from the original owner. A 396/350, 4 speed, cowl induction car. Owned by a lady no less. Still can't shake that car. If I had only taken the advice of a wise, older gentleman who at the time suggested I put it up on blocks in the garage instead of selling it...

But thanks in part to this fantastic site, I am finally ready to jump back in time so to speak. I look forward to reading and learning from others here who are quick to offer feedback, and share their knowledge on these cool cars. Looking forward to the ride!

Doug

I found a '70 SS Chevelle! Just got in a few moments ago from picking the car up. It is a project, but has great paperwork. Just thought I would let you guys know. Pretty stoked about it. Been waiting a long time to own one of these again.

Car was purchased new right here in GA. It is a blue, 396, Turbo 400 car. Needs a full restoration. And the journey begins again!

Welcome Doug

Congrats on the find and in your backyard cool

next door neighbor here Columbia, SC area
good luck with the project.

make a list
Auto Fair at Lowes Motor speedway is coming up in April might be worth the trip to NC
some vendors (if their going to be at AutoFair) well give show discount when ording parts early (so they'll have what you want in your name) and tell them you'll pick up at the speedway to save the shipping

pictures we need pictures
