Here's a pic of my Chevelle after we took it out of stoarge last summer.. the paint color isn't the prettiest, but it's original. Still cleans up nice, even after 35 yrs.
Needs lots of work, but I'm looking forward to the day it hits the road again..
I love Chevelles. I test drove a '72 SS that was minty but ended up with a rusted Challenger. Ha ha. MOPAR man I guess...
It was originally: pretty much a base... 318, automatic, A/C, B-5 blue on blue with a white vinyl top, extra interior lighting option.
When I got it: HEMI orange, rust holes, black bumble bee stripe painted on, strong running 360 put into it at some point, blue interior SPRAY PAINTED black, an original R/T hood put on, SE window stuck in it...
It is a stock (or at least stock looking) 360. I am putting a 4-barrel on it. Until it's done I won't have an HP numbers. I am doing this restoration as cheaply as I can. My uncle and I have done everything to it. It's not perfect by any means but I love the car and will be driving it as much as I can.
What I had to do major work on: new driver's side floor pan, patched holes in the floor all around, new trunk floor, new rear quarter on one side, patch on the other, new front fender, new front and back valances, new bumpers, fixed a dented rear quarter.
