soon to be Chevelle owner!
 
I'm will be picking up my first muscle car this Friday or next weekend. My dad and I go to a lot of car shows with some of his cars and we have to fit in buying it between shows. It's a 1970 Chevelle Malibu with a 350. It's a good solid motor but it has some cosmetic issues. I'll post some pictures up soon. If these forums are anything like the Hummer forums I know that I'll find all the help I need here. So hello to all and I can't wait to get started on my new (old) car in the very near future.

Jon

I hope you have that deal pretty well locked up, because you seem to be tempting fate with 2 days to go! Good luck !

Picked it up today and cleaned some of the gunk off.

The engine really sounds good to me, I don't have a trained ear yet but it sounds smooth.

Congatulations! Looks like you have a ride that you can have alot of fun with. Those wheels seem like they are not the best choice for your car? Maybe it's just me?

caljon88 09-29-2013 12:22 PM

Someday they will be changed but there is a ton to do before that happens. :D

I'm dieing to get back over to the garage to mess with it. Can't wait for Friday!!!

I think I will remove some of the rust from the trunk. It'll be about all I have time to do this weekend. Guess I'll try the chemical route and see how that works.
