This guys take.....

Depending on how resourceful one is, I'd bet you'd be hard pressed to build a 'nice' (good starting point) early Chevelle w/an updated drivetrain, chassis, brakes, wheels & tires for less than what the current car is valued at. The current car can also be insured to drive anywhere, anytime, & it's ok for them to be outside overnight. 'Classics' will possibly be limited or costly to insure depending on how/when it's used so that's more to consider.

My stuff isn't special but they also aren't cookie-cutter stock either ('78 Malibu lowered/stock vibe; 89 Chevy lowered/bagged OE/stock looking patina-paint CC dually; '64 Chevy patina swb pick-up w/a fairly modified C/O equipped chassis). Not nearly as nice as many of the rides on here but they're still 'nice'. I'm scared to drive them anywhere that I can't keep eyes on them when doing overnight car events.
