Would you sell.......
 

your 4th gen to free up cash to purchase a 1969 Chevelle documented, numbers matching L-78 car (396BB 375hp solid lifter), with Muncie 4spd and 12-bolt (4.10's), black with white gut. Oh and assume the Chevelle was complete and correct car, not a clone or some half ***** attempt at one, currently registered and roadworthy, and in generally good condition both mechanically and not a rusted out hulk?

The car does need attention, but is generally in good shape for a car that will be 40 years old very soon..

Attached is a pic of a 69 chevelle....just for reference and for the young guys that maybe don't know....

Um, yes....in a heartbeat.

no!!! i love my 4th gen... id like something to be driven the **** out of, not a garage princess

+ i dont care for chevelles im not a chevy guy but im a 4th gen fanatic... if that makes any sense lol

How could you possibly leave a big block 4 speed Chevelle sitting in your garage? I would drive the piss out of that car :nod:

chevelle = appreciate in value

formula = depreciate in value

the choice is obvious IMO

tru but matching #s part threw me off and like i said dont realy care for chevelle

In a New York minute. There should be no question to it.

wouldnt want to invest in that if i had to sell my car

get the RPO codes for it and see just how rare it is.

No doubt in my mind...its a very good investment at this point in time.

I dont care what I have Im still gonna drive the balls out of it. My Chevelle is one of 2500 v8-4speed convertible SS's known still in existance, its by no way a concourse restoration but it holds its own comparably to most other restored vehicles around, and I still drive the balls out of it...hense the reason the motor is out of it again :-)

depends if you are looking for an investment or a driver. as an investment, go chevelle. if you are looking for something to drive and push around corners, stick with your car.

probably not...I'd sell my soul in a heartbeat

I would keep the 4th gen b/c you can beat on it and don't have to worry about how much you're ruining the value of a rare car,and I'm not much of a chevelle guy either.

abso- fricking- lutely

the answer is obvious.

sell something else. keep both.



EDIT: maybe that's why i've never sold a car in my life. :lol:

Is this a rhetorical question? LOL Yes, all else being equal it is a no-brainer.

What about autocross? What about the Nova?

I want both just because I havent had either one of them I would keep the 4th gen and figure out some way to get that chevelle.

A shot at a real big block chevelle trumps the autocross.

The Nova will get done this winter and serve as the dragstrip warrior.

To me it all hinges on the authenticity of the Chevelle, if its just a 69 chevelle that someone dropped a big block into, then it is not attractive at all, any yahoo can do that.

If the car is legit, the codes match, accompanying paper bears fruit, then it will be a much more difficult decision. I would still drive the wheels off the car. How could you not want to feel the rush of big block torque, and hear solid lifter clickety clack, true dual exhaust as it hustles through the gears?

I am supposed to get some pics of the car, then we'll take it from there.

If it has all the proper documentation, you should absolutely do it. Once the resto/freshening is done you could probably sell it and pick up a fleet of 4th gens.

GET ITTTTT!!! If it's about the same amount as a 4th gen and it's legit, I'd definitely go for it. Prices are insane for these things, even if you just clean it up and turn it around!

The only thing I would sell my car for is a house.

the answer is simple, go on ebay and do a search for the chevelle your looking at, what will you find? a couple and all at a kings ransom......

now do a search for 4th gens, hundreds and the prices are dropping.....

sell the formy, get the chevelle, and then when ls1 cars can be had in the 4k range and lower, pick up another.

If it is the real deal, I'd buy it.

Be careful with the '69 chevelle. Unlike 68 and earlier, there is no way to determine from the vin/trim tag whether it is a real SS unless it is an original orange or yellow car (which were only available on SS).

Be sure the car has proper (and not fake) documentation before you buy it.
