  1. A 70 chevelle body with the title that’s that clean and they offered $2k? They’d have been escorted off my property real fast. Where I live that car in that condition would bring $10k all day long

  2. I'd really like to enjoy this, but regardless it's never going to be independence or get road tripped home after a rebuild of sorts behind a La Squinta – squint you can find a half star rating…. It's prejudice of sorts I guess, but I think this particular car reached its internet build peak with the forklift body and frame straightening.

  3. if you don't know if an A body can be a drag car…then yeah, this is a puff piece (pun intended). so what would I do with it…well, since a clean A body goes for stupid money, that doesn't leave much less in the budget. since its going in a straight line, that means no need for an LS or a stroker small block to help out with handling. If I'm building for ET's, that means torque–an 8100 from the junkyard will do well, the question is pay up for the one company who sells heads, or just inject N2O to get atmosphere in there. Of course, I'll need a good exhaust port if I go that path, and that can be crutched with the cam timing and a very efficient exhaust system that pulls the air out (and a 3 angle valve job that helps the E valve flow better from seat to .03 inch lift, acting like overlap). Now I have to focus on launch–grab a bunch of rear coil springs meant for station wagons and Eky's and experiment with what works, probably go for an air bag as well.

    If i'm building for best trap speed, that means HP, so I'll pick a roller cammed 454 out of any junkyard and stall the trans for 3,500 RPM or higher. I might be able to get away with softer launches and break fewer parts (until I have the budget to upgrade) while hoping to "run 'em down at the top end" of the quarter mile.

    if that's really a real SS car, much less a big block one…don't be stupid and cut it up while thousands of Malibus rust away up north. Go cut and pro street or pro mod or whatever one of those "too far gone" and show off your talents. If it's a real piece of history, restore it–goodness knows everything you need is a catalog away.

  4. Back in the late 70's through most of the 80's I had a 1970 SS 396 (402) Chevelle with a transplanted LS6 454. Some say it is one of the more desirable cars, but at the same time I also owned one better…1970 Buick GS Skylark 455.

  5. Love the Chevelle but a 69 or 70 Boss Mustang was a Dream car of mine so anytime I see those cars worked on with respect is always a good thing to see love the show watch it any chance I can thanks for all the great memories and hope your future only gets better from here
