Nice car!!

Regarding a possible trade, I assume you'd rather trade down and get cash rather than trade up and add cash to the deal?

[classiccarcustoms]

Thanks.

I can trade up or down.
I get the 66 back from interior on Friday.
What will need to be finished at that time will be:
Install all new glass. I have.
Make and install 3 a/c lines and charge system.
Get an engine cover you like and install it.
Radio of your choice. I have ran all wires needed for a big stereo. I have bought and installed Focal rear speakers in package tray before it was covered in Suede.
Also made custom kick panels and installed speakers in them and had those also covered in Suede.

Price has increased and I have an offer on the table for the car turn key. Just don't know when i will have the time to get it there.
If someone buys it in the next day or so, they can pick there interior patterns.

Thanks

[classiccarcustoms]

She is 99% done.
Took her out on the road this weekend. Put about 100 miles on her.
Very

Left to be done.
E-brake.
Charge a/c.

[cactuss4]

Just w0w, what a well done machine. Right color (it's the color of my friends 66 when I was just a boy). I think everything is done right on it. I started looking under my cushions for an extra $20K+ and remembered I'm not a hip hop/pop/rock star that could possible lose that much money and not notice it.

So if you win the powerball and want to make someone really happy, you know where I am!! Maybe you can cut the car in half and I can buy half? :) hahaha

Nice job, really well put together

So what is the price as she sits today?

I keep going back and forth between modern muscle like a 911turbo or a Z06, or good quality drivable old muscle... I just love this thing.

[classiccarcustoms]

Thanks

I have added a very nice stereo system with amps and custom box. I have about 200 miles on the car today.
Everything works except a/c and e-brake.
I have all the parts to finish the a/c.
The rear disc brakes have a built in E- brake assembly. I just need cables and a release handle. I was thinking of doing an electric kit off a push button.
I am looking to get $61,000. Or trades.
This car is build very well and handle like a dream. I got my 1 st speeding ticket in it Friday. Wife says it has to go. the car looks like ti is going fast just sitting there.
I will take better pictures and a driving video this weekend.

Thanks

Probably no interest in a 500-600hp Audi S4 and cash :)) Can't help you with speeding tickets, but the Cactus green is a bit less in your face, and while she is loud, probably not quite as loud as the Chevelle. Not as much rear seat room either :) hahaha

Really a well done build!!

Tory

[classiccarcustoms]

Thanks for the offer. I will pass.
I took the car out this weekend and put about 110 miles on her. Stops people everywhere.
This car is ready for a new home.
Stereo system will rock you out of the car.
Looking for a wake board boat, house boat, in ground pool, Camaro or??

What can you tell me about the Chevelle and Camaro? Prices? If you have a phone contact, that might avoid a lot of back and forth emails.

Thanks,

I drove my 66 on a 140 miles run today. Something came up and broke my power steering line.
Here is a chance for a great deal. 3 days only. Take the car, $52,000 as is. I have 513 miles on her since completed.
This pictures are today.

I need a small block 327-350 for my father in laws coupe. Will take some $ off for a ZZ4 or nice small block.

thanks

[cactuss4]

Still one of the best looking chevelle's I have seen. I can't swing it. Just started talking to folks about selling my S4 and S6, but even then too much coin, worth it to someone, but I can't do it. But if I didn't have a kid and a wife, I would negotiate.. Wait I want it to enjoy with the family, sooo that's not quite true!!

I almost want to plan a trip just to see your stable, the 66, the 65, your fathers car etc. Just appear to be really neat cars, before it takes off with a new owner out of state!!! Would be neat to see a car that was done right, and so clean.

Good luck with the sale, i'm not stalking, really I'm not!!!
