Discussion Forum - Northstar Chevelle Club

I will gladly pay you Tuesday for the price of a nicely finished Chevelle.. At least maybe an easy payment plan. Is this the one that used to be in Des Moines? I went to one in December in KC once.

O.k. Whimpy!    

Yes, I believe they used to go to Iowa until the state wanted them to transfer all the car titles into Iowa before selling them was the rumor I heard.  Talk about a revenue generator for the state!

Here's a '68 SS Chevelle with the factory installed Buick interior (claimed to be) that I think happened when Chevy ran out of parts, so they used the Buick stuff on the shelf?

I went though the list of the Chevelles and El Caminos. This one is my favorite. Actually, I think you should auction off your convertible and replace it with this convertible instead Stan. Sweet car for sure. Too bad its bench on not buckets but still 4 speed though. But it has factory air.

I would be curious to see where this one ends up at as well as the 70-72 El Caminos that cross the block.

Sorry Chris, too many headlights for me.  

Looks like it would be right up Jim L.'s alley since he's expressed interest in 1.) 66's, 2.) convertible's, and 3.) Original AC '66's.  Jim, it's an easy 6 hour drive from Lake City to check it out!

 Looks to be a great car.  Why did they forget to paint the top half of the valance argent silver?

Did you buy the 66 Stan?  $39,000 was a good price,  I would have paid more.

No Jim... I'm on a 1 collector car at a time leash!

Wow, someone stole that for 39K. Makes me think something wasnt right upon personal inspection. Or perhaps white isnt a popular color but I dig the color personally. 18K seems a bit much for that El Camino though.

I looked at it today at the auction, and I would describe it as a high survivor quality car.  All the chrome appeared to be original and was driver or worse condition.  Biggest thing going for it was it had the original driveline, it was an original AC car, and it was a convertible.

 

 

The rest of the '70-72 Elky's all had 'Bid goes On' stickers on them, and most were in the low teens on the highest bid, so not reaching reserves.

Some cars did really well like the resto modded Charger and Camaro, and others didn't bring enough to hit reserves.  KC is more 'midwestern' in the pricing (lower), and not a lot of money in the room like at BJ or some of the bigger ones.  Still a nice size auction with 700 vehicles though.  Will probably go back in December if nothing else is going on.
