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.

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

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.

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.

Nice Chevelle!

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.
