Deciding on a Chevelle help!

[chris-mets]

Hey guys,

Im new to this site and Im 14 right now but I really want a chevelle. I need to know what to look for in the chevelles and what to stay away from. I want a lot of torque and hp from the car so I would want a 454 right? Im looking to spend 10,000 in 2 years on one....thats what they about sell for in pretty nice shape...SO what should I look for, what year, what engine, etc.? Thanks, Chris
