Re: [Chevelle-List] trannie goes
I decided to go with a rebuilt turbo 350. Turns out that someone had painted the trannie, so the guy at the shop didn't think it was original. And since there is a crate motor, I wasn't married to rebuilding it.

[Chevelle-List] trannie goes
I have a 71 SS convert that has a crate motor. The trannie (T350) is going. Should I rebuild it or get something new? It is a real SS if that matters, the only thing that isn't original is the motor. What should I do? And, anybody know someone good to go to in Los Angeles? Thanks, Mark - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [Chevelle-List] New SS Hooray!
Thanks to all!!! Got the ignition fixed. Now I need a passenger side mirror. One of the bullet/teardrop ones. Anywhere? Is this the fun part, or is the pursuit better?

[Chevelle-List] Hooray!!! New SS
I just got home from Phoenix where I purchased a 1971 SS Convertible. It's a 350 with factory air, power windows, seat, locks and electric trunk release. It has a crate motor and all the numbers for paint, etc. check out. Finally after 2 years of looking everyday and 15 years of kicking myself, there it sits in my driveway. So, everything couldn't go perfect, I went to start it up this morning and it sounded weird, plug wire was off. I asked my son to shut the car off. Replaced the wire, and then when I went to start it, the key just spun. No ignition. Guess I will have to hotwire it. But, it still looks good!!!

Re: [Chevelle-List] digital cameras
Actually, the cameras all differ in response time. Typically, the more you pay, the faster the response time is. Depressing the shutter release halfway is the only way to hasten the lag time. It works, but takes practice. Fortunately you don't have to waste film figuring it out. And you don't have to spend 4K. Canon just came out with a 6+ megapixel camera that is 1500 dollars. It's the Canon 10D. I just got mine and it's great. Of course I can justify it since I am a photographer.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Purchase help
So, it turns out that the car according to the data plate, originally had a bench seat. All the power items in the car, weren't available on the 71. So, the interior was probably from a Monte Carlo.

[Chevelle-List] Purchase help
As some of you may know, I have been looking for a 1971 SS convertible for a couple years now. Today I had one checked out by a mechanic. It looks like a real one, but doesn't have a remote mirror. The engine is not original. It needs a new top and interior should be done too. There is probably $1500 of mechanical work that needs to be done. (new brakes, gaskets everywhere, hoses, etc.) There is a little rust in the rear quarters and some bolts are missing for the fronts. I could go on. Here is the dilema, they are asking 16,500 for it. The $1500 for mechanical and probably $2500 to do the interior and the top, gives me a good driver, that probably is a clone. It has correct dash, etc. but the heavy front sway bar is missing and there isn't a rear one. BUT, it has power bucket seats, factory air (working), power windows and a remote trunk release. It doesn't seem like it would be worth it to strip it to metal and paint it. So, doesn't $16,500 seem too high. And even if it was $14,000, would it be worth getting? THANKS!

Re: Re:[Chevelle-List] Advice needed
OK, so yesterday, I drove the black Chevelle. I guess because of the 350 replacing the 454, it seems the front end is sitting high up in the air. Also, the steering feels pretty loose. The engine compartment is a mess and the car was sputtering and missing. No smoke though coming out of the exhaust. The current owner is looking for the build sheet. He says that if he finds it and it indicates an LS5, that you could buy an LS5 and have it stamped to match the numbers. And, he says that this is totally legal. Is this true? Seems at a minimum, unethical. It was kind of funny because he claimed it had a cowl induction hood. He was going to order cowl induction emblems to put on the hood. Only problem is that...no cowl induction, just a regular SS hood. So, looks like I have to pass on it. Whaddya think?

So, I found a Chevelle SS that is listed as an LS5. The original color is blue. But, it currently has a 350 and was repainted black. How would this car fare at shows?

[Chevelle-List] Help with new purchase.
So, I am looking at 2 cars. One is a 71 SS convert. 350 with air. The other is a 454, no air. How hard is it to add air to a car? Does it lessen the value, since it wouldn't be original? I think that I would paint the 350, not crazy about the color. Am I really screwing up not getting the 454? I had a 350 before and it was plenty quick, but I always wanted it to be quicker, but I also have a 14 year old who will be wanting to drive it and I'm wondering about a new driver with all that power.

[Chevelle-List] 454 Matching numbers ?
So, in my search for a 71-72 Chevelle SS convertible, I called about a car listed and it was on consignment at a dealer. I asked the usual questions and when it came to whether the numbers matched, he said that there is no such thing as a matching numbers 454 car. He said that the heads were defective on all the 454's and that all the engines were replaced. I've never heard this before, and as it sounded a little fishy to me, I thought I would ask the experts here on the list. Thanks, Mark Los Angeles

Re: [Chevelle-List] BRAND NEW CHEVY PRODUCTS
So, before I go out and get my Chevy shoes, I need to get a Chevy CAR! I just busted in telling you guys that I am looking for a 71 Chevelle SS convertible. This is a car I had from 1973 to 1987. I paid $2200 for it and it had 52,000 miles on it. The guy I bought it from used it to tow his race car around. I basically did the mechanical maintenance on it but really neglected the appearance. For the 14 years I had it, I put on 200,000 miles on it and never did anything to the engine (350). The top was ripped and the back seats too and the stuffing would fly all over the place. In 1987 I sold the car for $2200, what I paid for it and that was a huge mistake. So, that's why I'm looking for another. Any help would be appreciated (sources, etc.) Thanks, Mark Los Angeles
