Default Gave Up on the Z and Bought a Chevelle

Ok i finally pulled the trigger...after a wasted trip to Fla to a sleaze bag dealership i returned home Weds nite and upon perusing the new ebay posts I spot a 1970 SS LS5 4pd M-22 bucket seat car that happened to be located 20 miles from me. Went to see the car the owner and i spent over an hr cruising while my wife and daughter waited patiently in the car (NOT!) i saw it...I drove it...I Loved it...i overpayed for it.....its only money i can make lots more Soooo after hunting for 6 months looking at numerous camaros i end up with a chevelle lifes jess so wierd isnt it. I may post more pics later when i feel up to you guys ripping the car to shreads

Got me beat, at least is on the road and you can drive it. My 68's are far from that. Maybe with luck sometime before my kids get their Lisc to drive, I might get them done. I need to run a body shop so I can get it done after hours and on the weekends with no interuptions!!!

Again nice looking ride and congrats on a find so close to home.

Nice looking car. But he still has the auction running so if you gave him money for the car you better make sure he stops the auction.

Well Ed, I switched from Camaro to Chevelle four years ago. It's actually nice to be able to have some room to put STUFF in the trunk

There is one major flaw with this car though - it doesn't have a set of MY Ontario plates on it

Congratulations and good find, have fun with it
