Found a Musclecar in a corn field, to bad it's not a Mopar though.

I like Chevelle's but they are almost as common as Camaro's.

Back in high school a friend of mine had a real nice '69 Chevelle convertible. It was a smallblock car that had a strong 454 and 4 speed put into it. It was supposed to be the fastest car around but one night a Grand National finally beat it.

About 3 years ago my wife worked with a lady and she mentioned her husband had an old Chevelle. I didn't pay much mind to it but a little while later at the age of 52 he died of a sudden heart attack as he was trying on a tux for his daughters wedding. His wife had a lot to deal with and a couple months later she started to ask about selling the car. We went over one night to check it out a give her some advice. When she opened up the garage there sat a 30,000 mile original black 1970 454 LS6.  :o  Turns out her husband bought it at a local used car dealer in 1972 for $1,800 and kept it stored away ever since. She had an idea that it might be worth a little money and a friend had already offered 20K for it.  I explained that was the top Chevelle ever made and she better not sell for that price.  A little while later she made a few calls to some Chevelle clubs.  Needless to say after the bidding war ended she pocketed $70,000.   



Holy Smokes!!  I believe that.   :yesnod:  Good man Ty.

Pete, my old roomate lives in Oconomowoc and he might be interested in that car.   I'll e-mail him tomorrow morning.  He has a 66 SS396 right now.

Well, there are no guaranty's it is for sale, but the farm is right behind my truck. So if he wants I will point him in the right direction. The hood is so rusted through, when I picked it up to check if there was a cowl tag, I thought it was going to collapse under its own weight :P    I  never seen any hood on any car rusted THAT bad.

67 SS cars will have a VIN starting with 138.  In finished stated, they fetch just as much $$ as 69-70 SS cars, sometimes more depening on how it's optioned.  The 66-67 cars do have a following just as the 69-70 cars do, you just don't hear about them as much.  That is a shame to see it sitting there in that shape.  It could be fixed, but the average guy wouldn't touch it..... I would though  :yesnod:  In the event I go looking for another chevelle, I'm going for a 66-67.  The 70 I have kinda fell in my lap when I was looking for a Chevelle to do.
