Keep the Chevelle. Camaros are over-rated.

I've got a '69 Chevelle, and my dad has a '68 Camaro - the camaro SUCKS any time you need to haul more than 1 passenger or any ammount of cargo in the trunk. They're neat cars, but not practical at all. You'll miss the space if you trade, especially if you have kids. Chevelles are just the right size, not boats like the 60s Impalas, and not too small like the Camaros & Novas.

The aftermarket isn't quite as good for chevelles as Camaros, but nearly anything you can imagine is available for a chevelle.

Its a clone but has a 454 th400 and a 12bolt rear. I bought about 6 years ago out of the paper for $6500. The only things i added was power brakes and the wheels it came with pro stars but they were hurting.

keep the velle. keeep the velle. You don't want to add to the Camaro population they are plentiful enough. Hell, they even have a kit car now. Chevelles are pretty popular as well but not over done. Like someone said earlier, wheels suspension and stance and you will flat out love that thing.

Keep the velle it comes stock with a 4 link rear, you cant beat that. Plus it will stand out in a crowd at any parking lot.

Drop it, throw on some 18's, and enjoy. Hang out here long enough and you will end up supercharging the 454 and slapping in a 6L80E with a Shrifter , these guys give people "bad" ideas .

That is a great blue .
