:sad: Im pretty bummed out.I just missed out on a 63 drop top nova that an aquiantance had for sale for several thousands.I was ready to cash him out today,but someone had beat me to it over the weekend.I guess the 65 Velle is stickin around as my summer car,Damn I could have had a convertible with a fresh custom cobalt blue paint and new top for the summer.Im so pissed off.

i feel you, i was cheated out of 2 chevelles before i found my current one. tough luck, maybe youll find another some time soon! :thumbsup:

Better to have a Chevelle, than to have no car at all, to enjoy the summer.

 

[FC KENNELS]

Yeah I guess it could be worse,Although Im not completely out of the game yet,I got another buddy thats got a convertible thats in pieces and been sanblasted and stripped down to baremetal that he's sellin,it need a bit of work,but Im gonna try to swoope on it, before some other bastard does.Thanks for listenin to me rant about what I could of had.

Almost bought a nice looking 68 Chevelle with a 327/PG and a nice black exterior/red interior.....


Came back the next day (Monday) with the cash ready to buy......


Found out some schmuck from Missouri wired the seller some money to hold it for him.


You gotta love it. :sad:

Yes.....yes it could be worse....if I had figured out how to send 50k volts to the keyboards of folks that dont post in the right forum you'd be numb and might of peed yourself.

 

[chevelle_ss_dood]

whoo...thats rough. 50k volts.

 

[Jim Mac]

with these cars being so popular, you really have to be ready to spend the cash when the deal come up. Theres just too many people wanting these cars, usually the cars that sits are the ones that are priced too high. but the reasonable and cheap hotrods get snapped up real quick. Jim

Yup. Im sure all of us have a story of how one slipped right through our hands. I know I have. Still kick myself for ones that got away over 10 years ago. When I knew dang well then, these cars were going to be huge money and extremely high demand.

I missed out on some Chevelles back in 2004 when I was looking for one and am just now recovering from some purchases and am in the market again!

Two quotes come to mind:
"Snooze, you lose!" and "he who hesitates is lost!" Better luck next time.

Cheers

Re: chevelle rant!!

There is a 63 chevy II convertible in North US 54 Salvage, Alamogordo, NM, rough, needs a lot but who knows, what is a convertible worth??
Jim Mac stated last week that a guy in Tucson is crushing out, supposedly still has ten two door chevelle shells on frames in the yard, plus caminos and montes for parts, perhaps some traveling needs to be done to pick one up.

Yes.....yes it could be worse....if I had figured out how to send 50k volts to the keyboards of folks that dont post in the right forum you'd be numb and might of peed yourself.

What does it matter if someone posts on the wrong one?

I's only yankin his chain but since you ask - whats the point of having different forums if it doesnt matter if you post in the wrong place? Why is this listed right at the top of the page -

Chevelle Tech General Tech Area
Please try and post in specific forums

Some downsides -

More work for the admins to move stuff around
makes searching more complicated
people who specialize in a certain thing might not see the post, leading to two things - folks dont get the answer they needed and then they post things like "Why doesnt anyone help me?!?!?"


Guess I am out of line here but i'll be damned if I dont see a big trend in the world of either not paying attention, being lazy or simply "the rules dont apply to me" (blinkers, lines, stop signs, handicap parking fraud, not paying taxes, lying for financial gain...on and on) So I guess in seeing that same behavior spill over to a place that was / is structured and where people respect the rules chaps my hide.

Its my equivalent of your issue with music in car and drag videos - just not necessary and annoying and it detracts from the content.

Have a good one, Tom. Im fixin to go post "I need cam advice" in body and paint and to get some suspension tips in the trans forum. After that maybe head over to the burrito place for a piece of pizza and then hit the propane store for some high octane diesel....before I head out to drop off my Fed Ex package at UPS.
