That car is gorgeous and answers my question of what a high rise hood would
look like
without stripes. Your cowl induction hood answers the question for me. I
really like the
looks of your car SS, Clone, Tribute or whatever. I suspect I will take a
bit of a personal
touch look to my car when all is said and done. The dark blue really grabbed
me and I will
probably keep it that way (repaint). Your car shows me a lot of what to
expect with a very
subtle look. Absolutely beautiful John. I cannot see anyone complaining
about what you have
with that car on the street. It may be one of the most beautiful Chevelles I
have seen yet
and I am not really into black. But no stripes on a black car says something
to me. Not sure
exactly what but I really like it. Thanks for the URL and pix.

Welcome to the list Mike. As you can see from my signature that I own a
"clone/fake/tribute car". I did not build it, I purchased it this way
from the person that built it. One person told me that an SS car was a
Chevelle with the SS options and in his opinion when someone puts the SS
options on a Chevelle to him that makes it an SS. I do inform anyone
that asks about the car that it is a clone. Some list members have got a
good point that if no one knows any better then the car could be sold as
a true SS. I for one am not looking to sell my car anytime in the near
or distant future. Someone else also said on the list that it is your
car do with it as you like, drive it and enjoy it.

Greetings all, I am brand new to this game. Just bought a 70 Malibu that
was partially restored about 4 years ago. It was also partially Cloned
at that time. Not really sure how I feel about that but think I will go
with SS upgrades minus the SS emblems. Made the title transfer on 11/11
of this year. Veterans day which I timed and felt appropriate for this
car. Suspect it has a few stories to tell like most of them do. My
question is about the body tag ID plate. Mine shows a time built code of
043440. Can anyone decipher that for me. I have been looking through all
the books and on line sources I have found so far but no luck. Thanks in
advance. The Chevelle is posted on the web at http://www.sofnet.com/k0az
if anyone wants to look. Please don't laugh because I know I have a lot
of work ahead of me. At this time all I know is the 355 is supposed to
have some internal work along with the unidentified heads, headers,
intake etc. The carb is a Holley replacement 570 and there is an Accell
coil. Tranny is a TH350 that I believe has some work done on it. The
rear is a 10 bolt non posi with what I think are 331s. While I am at it
Happy New Year and thanks for being here.
