This car is far far away from me, but I am trying to get more familiar with pricing on chevelles 69, 70 and 71. This looks like a buy at $28K...what do you guys think?

Dan, how do you think it compares to that 69??? almost same color. Thought I would kick off my first post here (besides the Dans a great guy post...but that was to make me look smarter than I am <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

Joe,

Nice Chevelle, but it`s no `69 <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif

You just have to decide what your favorite year is go after it. I`m not knocking the 1971-72, after all I still own my very first car, a 1972 Chevelle.

I like the Chevelle`s with the Canadian Docs, as they are bullet proof. I have seen many Chevelles that are fakes and have fake docs.... having said that....I believe that the Canadian built Chevelles are becoming much more sought after...and many believe they are the Best Kept Secret in the Muscle Car hobby.

Nice looking car, but I don't think the wheels should be body color.

I like all the years...its kind of like saying vanilla or choc...I like them both! But I hear you on the docs...they are hard to decipher these days.

Two types of tail pipe ends in the photos. 35 k is all the money here. I don't doubt they have that much in it but seems a bit high for the market.

Yeah that was weird, they must have changed the exhaust sometime during the picture taking..

Joe, this 71 seems like a lot better deal than the silver 69 with the blue stripes for close to $40k but are you very sure you want a 71?? Not trying to put those years down but....

And remember, if you want to feel like your getting a good deal stay away from the dealers.

Yeab, those darn dealers...another thing I notice is there just are not as many down here as there are back East. Weird....plus they seem more expensive here....could be my imagination...but..
