Yep, it does. And since they are not worth having, I'll send a trailer to pick it up, so you do not have to deal with it.

You should really change the 2 letters and make it say Chevette.

yeah b/c well all know real cars have a manual trany so send it to me I have a car that needs it

It's true, but I couldn't justify spending more money to make it so the wife couldn't drive it (which wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing if I didn't occasionally need her as a designated driver :beers: )

 

[keithb]

so what car are you putting it in

 

[Bow_Tied]

no, no, no - it is a Corvelle. Big difference.

 

[Derek69SS]

'69 malibu in my sig. I'm building a whole new chassis for it, and swapping the body over to this chassis when it's completed. I've been posting my progress in the "Pro Touring" section here

 

[Thad]

Nifty.

Thats an LT1 right ?
Since the rise in gas prices, I'd really thought about an LT1 6 speed swap, into the 72 moving the 502 to the 68.

Figure then mileage wouldn't be a factor of the "Do I drive a Chevelle to work today" question.

Corvelle. Yea, that's what mine is...

Yup, '95 Caprice LT1 (not really corvette, but it looks so much "cleaner" with those covers). I'm figuring I'll get about 19-20mpg if I use my 4.10 rear, or 22-24mpg if I use the 3.08 rear.

My old 400 got 12mpg, and needless to say, I've been cutting back on driving it... and knowing what it was costing me when I did drive it, really took the fun out of driving it.

...so I'm spending several thousand dollars to save a few hundred a year on gas :clonk:

Corvelle- - -reminds me of Caravelle- - -anybody remember those candy bars?

 

[NOZ34ME]

Whatever you call it, looks like it will go- - -

 

[DUKEdevils36]

Nice very nice

 

[72SSAbody]

Derek,
Are you going for the reverse LT4 look?

Joe

 

[p-hanny]

Corvelle Stingabu.

 

[Derek69SS]

Are you going for the reverse LT4 look?

Sort of... I really don't like the look of the LT4 valve-covers. They look good on late-models, but just too much "plastic" for an old car IMHO. I like the vette injector covers, because they make it look so clean, but I don't want any more plastic on it than that. So far, it's looking exactly as I had hoped it would hopefully it doesn't look like spagetti when the wiring is done :clonk: I've heard the speartech harnesses look great, so I'll part with the $650 and not look back.
