While i like the look of the car, the owner states its one of the fastest chevelles in the country!!??? with stock exhaust manifolds,air cond,an iron intake and if im seeing it right what looks to me to be a 2 barrel carb!!??
Why cant sellers just be honest and tell you what the car has as i think the car will sell itself by condition alone no hype needed!!

If it had a body off resto, why didn't they redo the engine compartment? Why no pics of the underside?

nice rims :rolleyes:

nice rims :rolleyes:

yeah he says the chrome is all excellent............but the cheesy wire wheels are rusty:noway:

'fastest Chevelle in the country?...........maybe he got a 5,000 horse nitrous kit hidden somewhere.

nice rims :rolleyes:

Headlight rims?

:D

Headlight rims?

:D

maybe Chris was looking at a different car........:yes::D

That Interior Is Homely! As are the wheels!

I didn,t see the words clone or tribute. That SS has a malibu sweep dash
hard to pass off as a SS. I see down the page it say's SS badging, but it should
say clone in the title

I bet it's got the la cucaracha horn too!

Over $30,000 has been invested in this one of a kind muscle car.

What a waste of $30,000!!

Looks like the trunk upholstery was done at home.

Has anyone "asked the seller a question" to verify this fastest 2brl, exhaust manifolded, iron intaked hot rod?

i can see the seller neg feedback for this car. look at the trunk. could have so major issues. def. not a frame off. if it was he would have included pictures. if i sold a car with all that supposed effort why not take photos? i will never understand ppl

Has anyone "asked the seller a question" to verify this fastest 2brl, exhaust manifolded, iron intaked hot rod?



I asked the seller if it was 4 bbl or 2 bbl and he came back with "its a hi performance 4 barrel"
and that "its one fast musclecar"

I will feel humbled next time I drive my Stage 1,Grand National or SS454 :D

I asked a bunch of questions - we'll see what comes back. Those with or building high performace Chevelle's hold on - there may be some good secrets coming our way from this seller with one of the "fastest Chevelle's in the country".

Has anyone "asked the seller a question" to verify this fastest 2brl, exhaust manifolded, iron intaked hot rod?

I did that exact question!! no response ?? i also asked if it was faster than all the factory BB chevelles in the country also no response??
its probably not even the fastest chevelle on his block!!! LOL

Interior is certainly "eye catching". I saw lot's of that type of interior butchering back in the 70's, but not lately thank god.

its one of the fastest chevelles in the country!!??

Maybe he is just an optimist. If it inst the very slowest... It must be among the fastest. :)

one of the fastest chevelles in the country!!???


I beleive it may be one of the fastest chevelles....he got his tires from the Jetzon's..

Must be a Corvette motor... :secret::D

15k and reserve not met, if i were that guy i would take that in a second.

I wonder if he would consider selling it without the engine, interior and wheels? :D

Maybe the seller has only driven 80s 4 and 6 cyl cars.....

I had some kid lusting over my 78 Z-28 back around 1981. He was saying he'd borrowed his cousin's 78 Camaro for his senior prom....saying how FAST the car was.
I arranged for the kid to get a ride in Tommy's 70 SS Chevelle that we had installed a crate LS-7 into. OMG, the kid was in shock after this, eyes as big as saucers....

All in the frame of reference I suppose.....

He says it has a 350 hp 350 engine. Guess all you guys here are running six cylinders, huh?

Maybe it's that long treck that sweep speedo needs to take that give the illusion that you're moving way faster ;)

The 710 cap is upside down, and the chrome 10 bolt cover must add at least 85hp alone.

you guy are ruff..
my worn out 71 el camino was fast..402/th400/3.30'sish gears..
why..
my only cars where 80's v8 f bodys/fox bodys/or g bodys..
so the tired big block was fast..to me, cause at the time never been in a full tilt big block car.. before that.
now I know just how slow they really where..
at least that car doesn't look like everyother belly button SS velle.
it's not my cup of tea.. but it's different

I love 71's, but this car sucks. That purple and white interior is hideous, those wheels are horrible, oh yeah, but it has 350hp and it's the fastest in the country, hahaa. What country?

Spent 30K?? Where?? Spent money in all the wrong places, absolutely!!! Welcome to Texicooo!!!! I can see them using that car in "Cheech and Chong 4"

The stripes on the hood and trunk look too far apart. :noway:

i suspect some schill bidding on this one, no way that car gets up to $15k on it's own. the guy doesn't say it's a factory SS car does he?
this car is what i would imagine could/ would happen if one of the fine folks in the trailer park accross from my shop won the lotto.

Here is my correspondence with the seller.

1st email to seller:
Dear 55-bowtie,

I have a few questions before bidding. What type and size carb? Posi rearend? What rear gear ratio? Description says reworked for performance and fast - engine from pics looks stock (stock intake, stock exhaust, etc.) besides a mild cam, what other performance parts make this a power house? Can you provide any pics of the undercarriage showing the body off restoration? Maybe it is just the pictures, but the firewall looks a little rough and parts look aged - how long ago was the body off done and were these areas redone during it?. Please get back to me on these questions. Thanks


Sellers response:
Good questions, this car has had a full frame off restoration.
The Engine has been rebuilt with 40 over and a competition
Cam, this car has really strong horsepower, All parts are new,
engine compartment is all new, no Posi traction, the rear end is a
377, runs great at hwy speeds. the undercarriage is all new.

Good luck this is one really nice Muscle car that has all new
amenities, power steering, power brakes, A/C. great for any
power tour in the USA.

Good luck

Mark

2nd email to seller:
Thanks for getting back to me. I still would like to know how long ago the frame off restoration was done, what type of carb (2 or 4 brl), and to please post pictures of the undercarriage. Thanks

2nd email from seller:
Restoration was completed 3 years ago. It is a 4brl Carburetor.

I keep all my car in a climate controlled warehouse, I will see if I
can get a photo of the undercarriage, it looks just like the top side.

Good luck, You can fly in and drive this Chevelle home.

Mark

He better take that bid of $15.3K and run! That interior is about the ugliest thing I've seen in a long time.

I'm surprised he hasn't flipped the air cleaner cover over yet. That's another free 40hp right there. :thumbsup:

Perhaps it's for the best the world just isn't ready for that kind of power to be unleashed.

Fastest Chevelle in the COUNTY maybe?!! Might be the only one in the county!!

Where is this guy from, I can hear an accent just from reading his emails. Don't think he knows much about cars just what the person who sold it to him told him.

Who the heck mounted that steering wheel!?l:) He must not have know how to center the wheels and steering wheel so he just centered the horn button!!!

And that crooked bumper looks like a cleft lip or something.

I emailed him asking for pictures of the engine bay AFTER the restoration:D

that's one flaming ride.......:D

I saw that car written up in "The 20,000 Fastest Chevelles in the Country".
l:)
(It wasn't at the top of the list)

I asked him some questions and have not gotten any reply.:mad:

im pretty sure that is not an ss, and no where does he state that car a clone. I wonder what bidder would pay 15.6k for a purple pos clone:confused: not trying to be offensive. I wonder how much he wants for the car? what's the reserve set at?

he shoulda took the 15k and ran ....

I'll bet you see it back up again, as they didn't get a sucker to bite.

I told him if his Chevelle could out run mine, 1/8th or 1/4 mile, I would pay him his 30k back and give him 15k for the car, plus give him first choice to buy mine for 5k. Never heard back.
