Well, I finally found something that I'd be VERY happy with and put a down payment (it's still being sent off for painting). A 68 malibu, fresh black interior with maybe early camaro buckets and a center console shifter. 327/350hp 68 block (not factory but a correct engine) with a th350 trans (2200 stall). I was planning on buying an SS from this guy but he wanted 1/2 of what I paid for this malibu for just the body (not even handles or locks!). Its a VERY solid car too. I was planning on spending $17000 on fully finishing that SS but I've found such a great car that I just had to share it with everyone!

Well done! I'm almost sold on a 72 Chevelle with a newly rebuilt 350 small block; I think I'm going to give the dealer a down payment on Monday. This is the first time I've ever bought a car, so I'm balking -- but it's a beaut, runs smooth and clean and the guy'll warranty the engine for a year, so I think this is the one. Hope mine turns out as well as yours! Congrats!

congrats on the new car. we can't have enough chevelles in town. i'm looking forward to see you cruising around.
good luck.

Way to go Joe! What are your plans for this ride? Maybe a blower poking thru the hood or how about some fogger squeeze? Congrats again...post some pics after the body is done. Have fun!

Plans for this car are going to be a little off in the future. I'd like a 383 with 400-500hp and a m22 4 speed. Also, long spindle disk brakes. I'm probably going to go and take some pictures of it in a few days and I'll try to get them posted soon! Thanks!
