Default The chevelle is gone.

Some of you may have seen my fathers 69 malibu that I posted photos of a while back. Well he took it to the swap meet in carlise, pa this weekend and ended up selling it. He wanted to get 20 out of it but just before he left, the hood and nose piece were damaged by some road debris. He took it up anyway and sold it for 17,500. With the insurance he got for the damage, he ended up getting a total of 19,300 out of it. Now we have an empty garage space and some spare cash to use on the other projects.

Well aside from everyday drivers, a 55 ford f100 which he built for my mom, he used to have the malibu and he has a 69 SS that we are working on and his 38 plymouth coupe that we are working on. Tomorrow we may be putting the body of the plymouth onto the chassis(which is complete and ready to go) and then start sanding primer. Here is the thread with the pics:

The black car is the malibu that just sold. The grey chassis is the 69SS chassis and the yellow chassis is the plymouth chassis.

Lets see a pic of the 55. I have a 56 F100 big back window that I need to start restoring one of these days.

Replace it with a Torino, you'll be happy with one of those as well!

So is the cash raised going into the other Chevelle and Plymouth to finish them up?
