Default instant flashback to 1983

The car in this ad takes me back to the kind of cars you saw at shows in the early 1980s.

'80s stripes / graphics - check
Tall stance with wide bias ply tires and cragars - check
L88 hood - check
braided hose and yellow wires - check
Air brushed mural (in this case, on glove box door) - check
and the list goes on....

Just need to load the cassette case with Quiet Riot- Metal Health, Def Leopard - Pyromania, Van Halen, etc, etc, and go cruise! LOL [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

That Chevelle is fantastic. And no bidders at $15k? That car is unbelievably clean and a steal at that price. If I had the room and a little extra jing, I'd buy that and other than adding another carb to the tunnel ram, keep it just as it is.

I think part of the problem is the seller has Zero transactions. I know everybody on eBay at one time had to get a start, but as long as eBay has been around, it is hard to believe there is still someone trying to sell a hot rod that hasn't at least bought something there.

I think it's been listed a few times. Scuncio (Tony) had links to it on the Chevelle site a while back?

I smell a rat here. Something is wrong! Car sold on May 25th for 25,000. People were fighting for it. Reserve was met and it kept going.

Mark... doesn't that look just like a vehicle you'd have seen on Corrigan (sp?) drive on a Sunday afternoon in '82-'83? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

LOL, totally a South Park ride. So many hot cars BITD on Corrigan and then at McD's and Danny's on a Saturday night. I used to beg my dad to drive slowly past so I could see them all. Man, I miss those days (and my dad even more). One of these days I'm gonna drag my Camaro up to PA and hit South Park and some of the local cruises.
