What Jeff said. I was looking for a Chevelle but not real hard. I checked the papers and the internet but didn't find much. One day a 70SS 396 was up for sale just down the street from me. Too much rust, ran like crap and she was firm on the price so I said no thanks, good luck.
A few months later my son was talking to a lady he worked with. She was planning on moving out of state and said she was going to sell everything and buy new after the move. Jokingly he asked if she had a Chevelle for sale. As a matter of fact her husband did. He had removed the frontend, engine, bumbers, seats, trim, etc. because he was going to paint it and turn it into a show car. So I bought a bunch of pieces and reassembled it, replacing a few parts along the way.
Being in pieces was actually a good thing. I could see the inside of the front fenders, floor and other parts so I knew it was solid. The car you're looking at looks good but you need to pass on the first one. Each car you look at will give you more ideas of what to look for and look out for. The right car will come along.
