I am going to be getting a 71 Chevelle. It is sitting in a pasture. A friend at work has it on his place. It has no Engine, Tranny or hood. It had factory Air but it was removed long ago. Total price $50.00

I plan on redoing it but not stock or restore to original, Aluminum Door panels, Fuel Cell, Autometer gauges etc....... A car to have fun with

 

Its always nice to have a car around just to have fun in. We have 2 69 chevelles, one done, one in progress. To me, the chevelle is the perfect example of a muscle car. Big, fast, loud and mean looking. Cant beat it. Throw a big block and a M21 in there and you have yourself a ride.

 

I wish I had the knowledge and skill to restore old cars. I would love to have an old chevelle or GTO.

Small-block V-8s were suddenly in tune with the times, but the 1971 Chevrolet
Chevelle SS 454 remained to represent big-block muscle car power. See more muscle car pictures.

Emissions standards had forced a switch to low-lead fuel, which in turn cut compression ratios, while insurance surcharges on supercars prompted tamer power-to-weight ratios. The impact was obvious in the 1971 Chevelle SS line, where small-blocks re-emerged in the form of two 350-cid V-8s, a 245-bhp two-barrel and a 270-bhp four-barrel.

The $100 gauge group with sport steering wheel is among this ragtop's options.

[b]But big-block power still was available. The 402-cid four-barrel cost $173 and had 300 bhp, 50 bhp below the previous year's base SS engine. To retain the ha

 

I didn't like the '71 Chevelles much (preferred the 2 headlight design of hte 1970), until I saw the replica I have in my room... a 1:18 71 Chevelle SS454 convertible








My dad and I are almost done with a 1950 Chevy 3100 Truck. Let me tell you man... you got it in for you . It came to us as a jigsaw puzzle... the drivetrain was assembled, and working. A 4 speed out of a 1960's car and 2.73 rear ends (it is TOUGH to tkae off with... I've backed up at 10-15 mph and I have not made it all the way out of the clutch in reverse yet)The cab and front fenders were on, but only the black parts were painted. We had to paint the rest ourselves, put the bed on, and we still have a couple of chrome pieces, bumpers, headlights, and taillights to put in. Man, is it fun to drive an old car with a 4 Speed... I wish I had bought something with a manual now!!!




I was taking my mom for a trip down the road and back, the thing is rough coming out of the clutch in reverse (see the part wehre I mention the 2.73 gears)... thats the reason for the expression on her face

 

 

it's a floor shifter... but not a stock floor shifter, they all came wtih 3's on the tree's. somebody put a 4 speed on the floor though (which i much prefer either way). The engine, although not stock, was a common upgrade: a 261? which put out more power. The 1950 came stock with a 216. The guy who had it before my Uncle Jerry bought it in 1990 put a CD player in it (or he says so... I think he did it). We should have it done in a couple weeks weather permitting. My dad says I can drive it some, but not all the time (I'd miss my Monte 4sure).

I am looking forward to teh SuperSurf Cowboy Moonshine ride being on the road... I wnat to drive it to school some before I graduate in late May (and it may happen

I believe it should eb worth $12-15k (we painted it ourselves and such), the sentimental value isn't THAT much, but some. My uncle prefers to just let stuff go for less than it's worth that go through the hassle of selling stuff and having people come by, the "I'll think about it's", the people coming by your house... he'd rather just let it go. He let us have ti for $2500 and my grandfather brought it all up when he came up in October for his birthday and to listen to me preach that weekend.

But this isn't even the vehicle my dad REALLY wants.Uncle Jerryalso has a 1951 Chevy 4 door that was fully restored and then put away... my dad wants us to ride down there and get it. Uncle Jerry woudl like to get $10k for it, but I think we could talk him down prettygood all things considering, being he is a nice guy, we are family....

I wish I could name all the things my Uncle Jerry has... I know he's got 5-6 other old Chevy's. Having a rich Uncle isn't so bad

 

Dwayne,those cars are awsum. Remember back in the day going up against a couple of `em on the strip. Good lookers...send some pics of it when ya can. The truck is cool by the way. Are ya going to put the 454 in it or what?
