Very Cool '70 Chevelle SS396 Project, Wisconsin Rusty, Possible Orig Engine
 

NEAT car - has buckets with no console, verified by the trim tag (756 interior code), and has the bench seat style shifter hump and bezel...my favorite combo for '70.

This one is pretty rusty, but looks doable...especially with prices where they are for '70 Chevelle big blocks. I don't think I would take it on, but someone will.

The seller doesn't claim that the original engine is there, but the current block is a CTX code so it certainly could be the born-with mill.

About the same build as the '70 I have. And about the same condition. Since the trunk floor and rear frame rails are gone, I'd bet the cabin floor pan isn't much good either.

Back in ~1997 there was a 71 LS5 that was Illinois/Wisconsin rusty, and a really clean 71 307 Malibu....

Times have changed a lot!
