1970 Chevelle SS 396
 

I know I have not been around for a while but I have been busy with life in general and trying to get my $hit together. Some decisions have forced me to sell my Chevelle. I am NOT doing this to buy another car or anything like that. After this there will be no more cars for me for the foreseeable future.

This car is straight up. There is NOTHING wrong with it and like all of my cars could be driven to California and back without any mechanical failure. This car is a real SS and I do have a NICB on the car however, the car does not have any paper or it's original motor. It is what it is. A super nice driver with no issues or excuses and it is priced accordingly. I am super easy to deal with and for anybody that knows me as honest as they come.

The car is priced at $35,000 which is EXACTLY what I have in it. All receipts for what I have done (along with what the previous owner has done) come with the car. I have never sold a car and not made money on it in my life but I need to sell this car soon.

Here is a link to info and photos of the car.

Since then the car has gotten a new/restored and correct master cylinder and brake booster as well as some cosmetic issues under the hood straightened out. I DO have the original wheels and new BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires that go with the car. The Cragers and tires on the car DO NOT come with it. I also have the factory valve covers as well which would be reinstalled with the wheels and tires.

I prefer calls to e-mails.

Frank,

Sad to see you having to sell your car.....and even more so, leaving the hobby...but I can understand.

Frank`s car is indeed a great Chevelle and a very nice color combo. At that price....she`ll be gone soon.

Good Luck...Frank.

Dan.

Re: 1970 Chevelle SS 396
 

Astro Blue.... one of my favorite colors.

Good luck with the sale and best wishes...

Frank,
I hope all is well and nothing major is happening in your life. I think we all can agree that we hate to see you sell the car and hopefully you are in fact not getting out of the hobby. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

Thanks for the concern guys. Everything is ok. I am not going to die or anything! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif I just need to make some career changes and selling the car is nessassary for this to happen. I hope to get back to the car hobby some day.

I have listed the car on e-bay. Here is the link.

Re: 1970 Chevelle SS 396
 

Hey Frank...sorry to see the car go. Good luck with the sale.

BTW...don't be a stranger...you hear? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/mad.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Bump

Re: 1970 Chevelle SS 396
 

Wow. I am surprised you even needed to bump this. What a great car.

Re: 1970 Chevelle SS 396
 

Still available. I will go down to the absolute bottom line of $32,995.

Call Frank at 708-257-8539

Frank

That is a great deal on a great car. I wish I could have kept that car, but at the time back then money was a little short. Good luck.

Randy

Re: 1970 Chevelle SS 396
 

Thanks Randy. The car has changed a lot since you last saw it. Between Gene and I we spent about $10,000 making it better.

Randy, did you ever look for a build sheet on this car? I never did because I figured that someone like you would have, I know for sure that Gene did not.

Rick Nelson, is Flint a factory that build sheets were common?

I am surprised that someone has not bought this car yet. I guess the right guy has not seen it yet. I know for one thing after 10 years in the car business. There is an a$$ for every seat. I relisted it on e-bay just for the purpose of advertising. That is all e-bay seems to be good for these days when it comes to car sales.

Re: 1970 Chevelle SS 396
 

Frank,
Sad to say, Flint is one plant that I never see build sheets from. Still a great car regardless and those wheels really set it off as well. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: 1970 Chevelle SS 396
 

Beautiful piece, and a stand-up guy who has his head on straight.

Best Wishes my friend. If I had the cash I'd snap it up in a minute. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Re: 1970 Chevelle SS 396
 

Frank
I talked to Gene a while back and he told me of the upgrades and that he sold it to you.
I never worried about a build sheet or docs when I bought it. It was such as nice car, it was a moot point.
Here's what I can tell you- everything is there to indicate true SS. As I remember, the engine, although not original, is date correct.

Re: 1970 Chevelle SS 396
 

Frank
You should bring it to Mundelein tonight. With the good weather, there will be about 550- 600 cars. Look me up. I'm always in the sponsor's section on Park ST. I park right next to the alley by Abernathy's. I'll have a white '66 Lemans convertible.

Re: 1970 Chevelle SS 396
 

Off topic a bit.....congrats to Frank on having his name and picture in yesterday's Chicago Tribune story about the history of Berwyn and Cicero IL https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: 1970 Chevelle SS 396
 

Berwyn Bungalows? Frank has sent me some pix of their house and the work they've done. The 'kid' does pretty good work around the house too.

Well now we at least know where his attention is focused as is his collection. Nice job Frank. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: 1970 Chevelle SS 396
 

Thanks for the info Randy & Rick.

Wow, that is funny that you guys found that article! You would not believe all of the e-mails and calls that I received about it! More people read the paper than I thought!

Oh and Randy...where the hell is Mundelien? I can't go that far away from my neighborhood or ill get a nose bleed!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif I better not here you guys sayin you are from Chicago!

Re: 1970 Chevelle SS 396
 

45 and 176. Easy and close to you. It's one of the best and most peaceful cruises around. No parking hassles- they have club members, village employees, and police on hand all over the place. Food, fun, and a lot of nice cars. I have been a sponsor since the inception- it's my favorite cruise. Bring the Chevelle and stick a for sale sign in it.

Re: 1970 Chevelle SS 396
 

Randy...Frank is a south sider...as such...if the streets arent 33rd or 42nd and you actually have to spell something...they can't figure it out.

Re: 1970 Chevelle SS 396
 

I've got a transport guy that will bring it there and back!

Bob,

You ever been up there?

All the lifers show up- Brent, Mark, a couple members here also took some great pics of the last one.

Re: 1970 Chevelle SS 396
 

Never made it up there...there are cruises a few miles from my house that I haven't made it to this year !!!
