Looking for????

[Rick D]

So guys my Camaro is gone (well it gets picked up Friday) so I'm looking for some ideas on something to get into next? I want to get something that needs maybe just a drive train or small stuff. I'm not doing a full build, I really don't want to do paint, some small body work would be ok and just prime it.

My first thought was a 2nd gen, or a 66 or 67 Chevelle or Nova?? I've seen a few but I really want to get it rolling this summer and take in a few cruz nights. I not looking for the off beat cars unless its really cool? And not looking to do this either.

So what are your thoughts???

I found a 65 Chevelle 2door wagon that has a 6 bager in it, most of the metal work is done??? Thought??

Biased, but YES!

If you want something a little different, build a falcon. Most of the Mustang stuff fits and you will get a lot of attention at the shows.



Any type of 2 door wagon is cool too.

Falcons are cool but as with everything I ever have I will sell it at some point and it really won't bring back out what I put into it. Not saying I'm trying to build it to make money, but I don't want to lose money or have to wait to that one person that wants comes along.

Rick,

You mentioned just 'Shivys'?

Any other makes your considering?

What's your budget?

What motors/trannies would you use?

You mentioned cruise nights. What else will it be used for?

I say grab the wagon. Its a 2 door which should hold some value when your ready to sell and they're just cool. Something you won't see at every show you attend.

Skip I just know Chevys not saying I not open to other models?? Buick's are cool, 67 Fairlane, I really like them (Keep movin Rob ) but either their all junk or way over priced.

Budget, for the whole deal is 12 to 15k?? That includes the car. Again I'm not doing a full over the top build, from what I've seen already I should be able to get into something in the 7 to 8k range then a few grand for some upgrades.

Motor and trans?? Again depending on if comes with any, I have a nice 396 that I can use. I also have a great connection for a modern drivetrain as well. A Nova with a 5.3 and over drive auto would make for a nice cruser?

As for use, not saying I won't hit an auto cross or something like Motorstate but it's not a track car.

That's kinda what I was thinking about with the 2 door wagon? I can get into very reasonable and it does run and drive, although not street worthy. You would think that the 2 door wagons would bring good money, but as has been stated before just because they didn't make a lot of them doesn't make worth more money. When you see them listed they alway put the build number to show how that they didn't make a lot. The one I found that's for sale, he has another one that's restored and he can't get 20k for it. And he has WAY more in it then that. That's why I think he's trying to sell this one as he's seen that they are cool but don't think you can MAKE money on them.
