The guy from from Chicago flew in today and picked up the camaro. He drove it home to Niles, Il. He had zero issues but I was shocked!! He made it all the way on one tank of gas!! Crazy. Love those over drives. My next car or project will be a 70/71/72 chevelle convertible. May wait until spring to buy. Early spring. I am thinking this timei may buy a car that is already done or mostly done. And I want a NOM with build sheet. More of an investment car this time. Something I may keep for a while. I have been flipping cars for a long time. Buy them build them flip them. That is fun but gets expensive. I did make a profit on this car though. So you all keep your eyes open for me. If there is a steal I will buy early. Price range is zero to 25K. Will have more budget in the spring to spend

Hey, give me a litle credit for some restraint... Gearlube's expressed interest in my vert, and I've not sold it to him. Yet...

I watch several websites for '69 verts and I think if you want a documented car in a vert you will need to open your wallet up a whole bunch more.

I don't really like the 69 models. Only 70-72. I have a TKO 500 manual.....I have to side with Stan. For some ah hem, Tim, like to the hunt, doing the projects, and the driving becomes secondary...Stan got an amazing deal on this one so if he did sell out he will profit nicely....

I believe the proper saying is "REAL CHEVELLS HAVE 4 TAILLIGHTS"

Much respect to our brothers with the 69's it's just a personal presence is all.
