Be careful, it still has 6 days

Ol'Rover · 01-23-2008, 05:35 AM

im going to watch it. and if it dosnt go over $2500 ill try to put a bid in at the last couple seconds

724x4a/cchevy · 01-23-2008, 05:38 AM

Gotta start somewhere......

1LoC10 · 01-23-2008, 05:52 AM

looks decent, i say leave the body as is, and slam it on some smoothies and whitewalls... but I say go for.. i passed on $3000 69 Chevelle a few years ago.. that was mint untill the guy got hit in the rear quarter.. i still kick myself for passing on it

BarryB · 01-23-2008, 05:54 AM

well my experience in trying to sell some old cars and trucks these past couple of weeks. They aren't going for as much as they usually do. So you might luck out and get it pretty reasonable.

Ol'Rover · 01-23-2008, 05:58 AM

Man i want this car. Drop a 454 in it with an M21 muncie....*shivers* yeah...i need it. If i dont get it im sure i will be able to find another one down the road i hope...

72BlckButy · 01-23-2008, 07:31 AM

I hope that you dream will be come reality.... good luck!

You should do it. My buddy just sold his 70 SS clone for 26K this weekend... and it wasn't an auction.

cdowns · 01-23-2008, 08:17 AM

do you have a trailer that you can take to virginia to get it or will you be paying to have it transported? seems to me that would add alot to the price of a stripped down car like that

full foot notch · 01-23-2008, 08:50 AM

i think going price is around 800 for transported car, would think it would break down to both for gas,lodging and wear and tear, and at least with semi transported in you have free time instead of having to take time off

ed3196499 · 01-23-2008, 09:13 AM

Looks decent could be a fun build. IMO I think leaving it as a Malibu with the 454 and tranny you want would be better than going to clone route. It seems everyone that gets a hold of a Chevelle slaps SS badges on it. Here is mine

fastwillie 696969 · 01-23-2008, 09:15 AM

you better get the m22 instead the m21 wont hold up to that 454
i got one in the shop im holding for next camaro project

BarryB · 01-23-2008, 10:10 AM

If he comes all the way to Va to get that car, he'll need to swing by my house and get this 454 off me. I have been trying to sell it for some time now.

i would probably go down and get it myself. Barry B....that might be a good idea lol...

dosnt the M22 Muncie have thicker teeth to handle the torque....ill probably go with that...or a TH400...

Ask the seller for his phone number before the auction ends, in case you miss your opportunity.

Ol'Rover · 01-23-2008, 10:45 AM

is phone number is posted...i might give him a call. And give him a realistic offer.

**old Rusty C10** · 01-23-2008, 11:16 AM

with the gas going up and the economy tanking these cars will prolly go down in value in the short term now is prolly the best time to buy one or within the next several months particularly if the government passes the 40 cent gas tax i heard about last week

dang!! that trans is cleaner than my dishes

BarryB · 01-23-2008, 11:33 AM

I'm not sure of the thicker teeth, but I am pretty sure that the M22 was only offered behind a big blocks . They are hard to come by. I would save myself the trouble and get a tremec 5-6 speed . That way gas mileage won't be as bad.

Bishops Trucks · 01-23-2008, 12:30 PM

Here is a place for all your Muncie stuff. http://www.riversidegear.com You can even get complete transmissions from them.

Ol'Rover · 01-30-2008, 02:41 AM

well...i was beat at the last few seconds.... i missed it.

marcuspboldt · 01-30-2008, 02:55 AM

If you want one bad enough you'll find one.

Mine looked almost exactly like yours ed3196499 when I got it back in the early 80's.

You're kiddin' right???
Just because traditional hotrods and customs are getting popular doesn't mean the parts that look good on them look good on everything else.....

The teeth are at a different pitch.....and were available on smallblocks as well......Z/28's.....

70 Chevelle's come up quite often cheap on Craigslist if ya really want one....
