Hey guys/girls, name is Steve, from Long Island NY. I ended up selling my Chevelle. Someone made an offer we couldn't refuse. Sold it for $10,000. Mechanically it was mint. ran high 12's. needed quarters, rockers, doors, and some interior work.
So we went on Ebay and found this 1970 Cutlass (442 clone) with a 350 Rocket. Picked it up for $6500.00
Enjoy:

Looks great!
Picture 3 made me stare...every other vehicle in the shot
is the exact same color as your car. How long did you
wait for that?

The car looks good. Those grill look great, the paint, the chrome...
I'd say 6500 was a steel.
Where on the Island are you?

How many miles? Looks like the paint and bodywork is in really good shape... What are your plans for this beast?

dIDN'T EVEN NOTICE ALL THE COLORS BEING THE SAME TIL YOU MENTIONED IT. LOL

Since that picture we took the grills out (PITA) and painted them black. Cleaned up the front a lot.

So far as future plans go, right now i'm not really sure, aside from getting the Weld Drag Lights on there 15X8 rears and 15X4 in the front and repainting the engine and engine compartment.
