Re: [Chevelle-List] Advice needed
Mark: I don't think so as just a few months ago there was a nice 71 SS 454 car here for 9500. It was far from mint but was all there and numbers correct. as far as I'm concerned he may as well sell it with no motor and it would be worth just about the same. He is pricing it right up there with a numbers matching car. I'm sure most in here would agree at 21 k it is way overpriced. Larry (z)

Probably only his caretaker and insurance agent. LOL I saw an episode on My Classic Car where he took Dennis Gage on a ride in a Stanley Steamer. Jay has at least one good sized warehouse full of cars and shop equipment. I'll bet very few people have ever seen all his cars.

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?

Also, the 350 in the 454 is a problem too, so, I guess I'll have to pass. It's so tempting though because I haven't seen many in the area and I really would like to avoid traveling to the East Coast.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Advice needed
Hi Mark... I wouldn't buy the car as an investment cause obviously the original numbers matching motor is long gone. The original thing is kinda a toss up. 4 years ago I had an original 70 Z28 with the LT-1 and a muncie. 45,000 original miles... all original parts... starter, alt, rear, etc. Only thing missing were the original tires. The hiccup was the motor threw a rod 6 months after the original owner bought it. So it had a 71 date coded block with no other numbers casted in it that was put in by GM under warranty. I even had the receipt for that work. Now some guys looked at it and said... it isn't original doesn't have the numbers matching motor. Other guys didn't care about the numbers or date codes on the misc parts, but just the engine, tranny, and rear. Then there were a few guys who felt with all the paper work and documentation that the car was darn near one of a kind. I mean there aren't too many no number gm replacement blocks around. The fellow who purchased it felt it was a very interesting twist to make this low mileage Z28 unique. The show circuit... well there are plenty of cars that are totally not stock and modified taking home awards... you just won't be in the category as an orginal stock class. Sorry for the long winded-ness, but I think this story shows "original" is different for every collector. Some guys want proof that all the metal is even original. All and all... buy the car cause you like it! Awards come for a ton of different classes if that is your goal. If a pure original car is your goal... will just an LS5 spec 454 do... or are you a numbers matching kinda guy. Hope this gives you a bit to chew on... good luck w/ your decision. Mikey So, I found a Chevelle SS that is listed as an LS5. The original color isblue. But, it currently has a 350 and was repainted black. How would thiscar fare at shows? How would these changes effect the value of this car?Could you put in an LS5 and would that increase the value or would it matterbecause it wouldn't be the original engine? And is not having the originalcolor a problem?Thanks to all for all your help,Mark-To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.htmlTo start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
