View Full Version : Not a Camaro, but showing off my Chevy...
philtheskipper Apr 5th, 06, 06:50 PM I bought a 70 Camaro last year, then ended up selling it late summer. I then was searching for either a 67-73 Camaro or a 68-72 Chevelle. I want to thank those of you who answered the few questions I had when looking at a couple Camaros. I didn't end up with one, but I got the next best thing. Here's the 71 Chevelle I picked up...

Uncle Tupelo Apr 5th, 06, 07:05 PM Pretty Car!
Have fun with it.
nikkisdad Apr 5th, 06, 07:15 PM Nice! Black is absolutely the proper color for that car........
philtheskipper Apr 5th, 06, 07:29 PM While I love black cars, I hate the extra maintenance it requires! I can keep it dust free for about a minute. hehe

Yea, but it is the coolest minute you can have, just short of well, you know what!
69Mike Apr 5th, 06, 08:42 PM I have the same car-a 71SS454. Black, like yours with a black vinyl top. Mine has a TH400, 3.73 with posi. Has a bench seat. It has all power and a/c. I have had it 2 years. Good luck.

philtheskipper Apr 5th, 06, 09:37 PM This one has...
zz502 crate engine
Rossler th400 trans
3600 stall
4:11 posi
Hotchkis suspension
To sum it up, a fun hotrod. Previous owner said it runs consistent 11.8's in the quarter and showed time slips with pics. I'll test her out myself this summer. :thumbsup:

dragsterman Apr 5th, 06, 10:29 PM I can see it going side ways now! You gotta dump the mud flaps though!
Codi Apr 6th, 06, 10:18 AM Very nice car, but, I see a few problems. #1, not in my driveway. #2, not in my driveway. Enjoy yourself. Looks great.
chuck69ss Apr 6th, 06, 02:56 PM Very nice ride Phil!! I'd love to have one of those next to my 69 Camaro someday.

dreamweaver Apr 9th, 06, 07:26 PM Is the 1971 the most valuable???

No, the 71 and 72's don't bring as much as the earlier years. The 70 Chevelle seems to bring the most money with the 69 behind that.
Guess it's all a matter of personal taste. I like all Chevelles, but prefer 68 through 72 Chevelles.
Many people feel the ultimate Chevelle would be a 70 front clip with a 71 or 72 back end.
