I'm new here and my first post mentioned I was looking for a Chevelle. Well after looking around I found a few nice cars, and some not so nice. I find a local car on Craigslist but the post what fairly old. I decided to check on it anyway and boy am I glad I did.
After a test ride/drive and a couple visits with the owner I decided to pull the trigger. This car is well on it's way to being the pro-tourer that I am after.
Here's a small breakdown of the specs. It does need very minor body work (no holes or rust) and fresh paint. Those are way down on my list of things that are important though.
Engine - 454 (believed to be 468 now), Solid Roller, Jomar girdle, 990 Heads, Edlebrock Endurashine RPM, Holley 850 DP, Hedman Elite Headers, Holley Blue Electric, BG regulator - all Braided fuel line.
Transmission - TKO-600 RAM clutch McLeod Bellhousing - all brand new.
Suspension - Front - all new bushings, SC&C front upper A Arms, Eibach Springs, Koni 3 way adjustable shocks, stock sway bar. Rear - UMI upper adjustable and boxed lower control arms, Rear end narrowed 3 inches, big Ford ends, moser stud girdle.
Brakes - Touring Classics Hybrid C4 Corvette disc kit, New mater, all new stainless brake lines - hard and braided. EBrake works!
Interior - Recaro Seats, Covan dash with Autometer Cobalt gauges - electronic speedo, tach, fuel level, oil pressure, temp, amp. New carpet, decent panels.
Here are the only other pics I have atm
