[BBIGG BLOCK 396]

Guys I am just wanting a nice auto car to drive.I prefer for this car to be a real LS5 as the Owner states and be really clean all over and on the underside.As far as the non original or items that are not correct that is not a problem.My 67 Chevelle is more of a restomod and has many things that is not original to it also.I am just looking for a nice clean real SS Car to drive and enjoy.I am just not able to enjoy my 67 due to it being a 6 speed.I have not ruled out totally converting my car to an auto but I prefer not to.It is just sweet shifting that 6 speed richmond trans.I sent Bruce some pics of my 67 Chevelle and he will post them when he gets an opportunity.I spent a lot on my car and If I trade it I just want a fair deal.If someone in the area could look at the car that would be nice.I am curious as to what it looks like underneath the car. My Chevelle is pretty nice on the bottom side.Take into consideration my car has been detailed a lot since the pictures were taken. And this is some of the specs on my Car from the restoration!

Car History: This car was always a TEXAS car and a 3 owner vehicle.With me being the third owner as I was told when I purchased the vehicle.I ran a title search and it showed the previous owner to be the person I bought the car from.He had owned the car for over 20 years and had told me he had bought it from the ORIGINAL OWNER.
Since I have owned and had the car restored! I purchased the car in October1998 and the restoration was completed by June of 1999.It was entered in the Houston Autorama in 1999 and won 3rd place in its class.The other winners 1st and 2nd place were cars built for SHOW ONLY and never driven on the street.There were 17 cars in the class.Also in 1999 the Chevelle won best restored GM Muscle Car at Fort Worth Good Guys Meet,There were 25 cars in the class.

Also the Chevelle has been driven for pleasure and not abused and won numerous local Car Shows.The Chevelle has approx 6200 miles on it since restored but the existing engine and trans were installed in 2004 and have approx 2800 miles on them.There are a few blemishes from small rock chips and incidents over the years that show but still the Chevelle is a NICE DRIVER!

She s no longer a AUTORAMA SHOW QUALITY Car due to being driven on the roads and the age of the restoration but she is a GREAT BEAUTIFUL DRIVER and great for local cruising and having a ball! I built this car to DRIVE And built Her to last a long time. I built this car to KEEP FOREVER but due to health problems I need an AUTOMATIC CAR. So I am looking to trade the Chevelle for something I can drive.I prefer a muscle car with A/C. was able to talk briefly with the original owner of the Chevelle and he told me he purchased the car from Bud Moore in Houston Texas.


Thanks
