SW that chevelle would be a nice addition to your collection.Throw some DSE parts at it and a 4L80 trans and it would be readly for the power tour.:thumbsup:

The more I look at it, the more I like it.. you guys are no help.:D

Is there anyone on here that is in San Fransico that could look at it for me?

If it's as nice as it looks in the pics, seems like a good price to me. :yes:

The Chevelle with the right suspension will ride nicer than any of your Camaro's.............. that's what I loved about mine. The full frame gives a great ride compared to the subframe cars, they look great, and even though a bit heavier they can still handle fantastic. Not sure about the super low profile tires he has, may affect ride some, but that's a nice looking car.

I have a 68 Coupe, I drove it for six seven years before putting it away doing C4 vette suspension front and rear, Porsche Cayenne brakes a SBC with a Viper T56.

I'm in the process of having some 18" BMW M3 wheels widened from 8" to 11" so I measured my wheelwells the other day and they are 13 1/2" from the lip to the wheelhouse, then you can gain another 1/2" by rolling the lip (its 1" wide approx).

have a nice day!

saw the link now, car is gorgeous! as you state it needs a manual trans and I'd suggest a suspension upgrade up front to have better geometry.

275 frt and 315 rear seems to seem about the limit without a mini tub.

The Widowmaker and MarkM have build topics on Chevelles.com in the pro-touring section if you want to go bigger.

http://www.pro-touring.com/forum/showthread.php?t=67647 has some pics of Chevelles using stock wheel wells.

Nice Chevelle! :thumbsup:

That car has been for sale on craigslist (SF Bay Area) for quite a while.
Im in the area by the way.

If you contact the seller through craigslist you might get a better deal.

Good Luck.:cool:
