Re: [Chevelle-List] Oh great and all knowing chevelle list...
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Kelly, How right you are about being in the right place at the right time. I looked all over N. California before finding my first Elky ( non SS )about two miles from my home. Then, after I've pored about $1500.00 into it, I spot my current SS Elky for sale, 3 miles away. Not that I was really looking, but the ad caught my eye. '69 SS El Camino $5K obo. I had to look. And then after 4 days no one had bought it. I couldn't believe it. It was not long after 9/11 though. So I got it for $4.4K. Yee ha. Very well donemine was for sale for $5500...the guy was a auto shop owner and he had two projects, a '54 Ford truck/350/350/12bolt and the Elky (shop truck/daily driver)...his wife said that one must go to pay off the credit cards. He had rebuilt the original motor to 325 hp and the tranny (TH-350) got a shift kit and he also put in a 10 bolt 3.08 posi, he had the build sheet and everythinghe got a lot of tire kickers at $4k, got disgusted and took his wife's edict to heart and relisted the car for $4500I was the first one on the scene that Sunday and bought it without dickeringwell worth it. Since, I've seen lesser equipped Elky's of that year sell for $1-2.5k more. I am very happy with mine even though it's not one of the golden years...I've only put about $2k into getting the air redone and replacing a few things like the windshield and power steering pump, etc. . I had always thought the 78-79's were good looking. I still want the '70-72 BB, but will have to wait til I nail a few more boards together...:)unless I get really lucky.. I was then able to sell my non SS the 2nd day the ad was out, for only a couple of hundred less than I had into it. Someone will have to give me web site tips for posting pictures when the paint's done in the next couple weeks. I can do that. You'll have to tell me what programs you'll be using for the photo processing and such. BTW I did fly to Plano Texas (Dallas Airport) to purchase my Vette last year. Horrible traffic trying to leave town. Yeah, this is bad traffic city, but it's still better than a lot of others I know of. I am happy to be back..no car clubs in the sticks:) I went to meet the guys from Metroplex Muscle the other dayvery nice people...more car oriented than the last Club I tried to join...this one has no formal dues or self serving meetings, just a bunch of car nuts getting together to show their cars off (and they are very nice)I talked to one guy for at least an hour about how he painted his own car and other things he did to itsince I'm getting my business off the ground (again), I won't be perusing the organized club for awhile. I will be hanging out with these guys thoughhere's some pics of the meeting http://www.geocities.com/twosupersports/dec01.html If the page won't load, try back in an hour...Geocities has gone the route of charging for trafficI just found a site that offers unlimited everything for $4.95 a month (right up my alley) and offers free domain reg and forwarding. http://www.hostonce.com/ I'll be moving my business pages there very soon as well as my fairly extensive Elky/Chevelle site.

Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Also if anyone has any info about Columbus Ohio I'd sure be interested in knowing what it's like up there. I live in Kent(NE Ohio). Winters are much milder than the snowbelt and places like Erie, Buffalo. Great location for car shows and racing, several a year at National trails(outside Columbus), Quaker City(near Youngstown), Norwalk Raceway Park. During the summer several nights a week you can hit a cruise as well at local Walmarts/AW's and others. Winter gives me a chance to save a few bucks and work on the car and it adds more excitement for spring. Very nice people there I hear, but no oneand I mean no onedrives over any posted speed limit at any time (I got this second hand from two different sources, I've never been there). Lots of speed traps and lots of speed limit drivers. Not much chance of talking your way out of a state patrol ticket..I recieved a ticket in my Chevelle doing 42 in a 35 zone..total crap if you ask me. I was driving along with traffic and was picked out as the guy that got the ticket. I guess it's only fair for the many 1/4 mile blasts I've made down Ohio roads.

Title: Heater fuse... First of all, some others may be, but I am "not worthy" ;) Second, just curious, but why would you want so badly to move to a place you know little about? Third, please leave your E-mail address so I can fill ya in a little bit. I have "been there, done that" I am a California boy that moved to Ohio, near Dayton. Now I know there are some of you saying "why the HECK would he do something like THAT?" Well so many of the "fruits and nuts" from here moved there that I couldn't afford to live there anymore so decided to move back to one of their houses. Just kidding, it was job related ...but it was a good move in many other ways as well. I am about an hour and 15 from Columbus. Been to Columbus several times. No sign of the Nina, Pinta,or Santa Maria, but there is a small Chevelle club. www.ohiochevelle.com I am checking it out now. Just sent my ACES membership in, so looks like some of you dudes will have to put up with me in Nashville if I can get my reservations in before the procrastinators. Last one in the pool has to guard the beer! Wait have to think about that. Lastly, I reserve all judgement on selling the Elky. Other than saying that you have to love what you work on and invest in, and as others pointed out, you do it for the love of the car, not what it's worth afterwards because no car will be worth what you put into it, in time alone. The decision has to be a personal one based on more emotions than logic. Something that's not easy for us guys in most cases.

First of all, some others may be, but I am "not worthy" ;) Second, just curious, but why would you want so badly to move to a place you know little about? Third, please leave your E-mail address so I can fill ya in a little bit. I have "been there, done that" I am a California boy that moved to Ohio, near Dayton. Now I know there are some of you saying "why the HECK would he do something like THAT?" Well so many of the "fruits and nuts" from here moved there that I couldn't afford to live there anymore so decided to move back to one of their houses. Just kidding, it was job related ...but it was a good move in many other ways as well. I am about an hour and 15 from Columbus. Been to Columbus several times. No sign of the Nina, Pinta,or Santa Maria, but there is a small Chevelle club. www.ohiochevelle.com I am checking it out now. Just sent my ACES membership in, so looks like some of you dudes will have to put up with me in Nashville if I can get my reservations in before the procrastinators. Last one in the pool has to guard the beer! Wait have to think about that. Lastly, I reserve all judgement on selling the Elky. Other than saying that you have to love what you work on and invest in, and as others pointed out, you do it for the love of the car, not what it's worth afterwards because no car will be worth what you put into it, in time alone.

I have come to a cross road... My wife and I have be thinking about moving to Columbus, Ohio for some time now and our new years resolution is to be in Columbus by the end of July. The idea of moving prompts the idea of selling my 1969 El Camino. The wife has been very supportive in my project, however she doesn't like the idea of spending over its resale value. Which I would go over if I continued the project. To convince me that I should sell the El Camino, she has agreed to let me get a loan for up to $9K to buy my dream car (1967 Chevelle), once we get to Columbus. So I need the knowledge and experience of the "List" 1). Do I sell my Elky, give into the urge of a 67 Chevelle and take a large loss on what I've put into the Elky ($5500 total spent)? 1b). If I did sell it how much would I be able to get? 1969 El Camino Malibu Super cold A/C New Suspension all around (PST kit(polygraphite)/gas-a-just/springs) New brakes all around (Drums) Brand New Michelin tires all around New Holley 750 carb W/Holley Contender intake Rebuilt rear axle new split bench seat (see www.angelfire.com/retro/project-69) OR 2). Do I keep the El Camino and spend $8k to get it running and looking the way I want it to. __ Also if anyone has any info about Columbus Ohio I'd sure be interested in knowing what it's like up there. __ Thanks, JM '69 El Camino www.angelfire.com/retro/project-69

California before finding my first Elky ( non SS )about two miles from my home. Then, after I've pored about $1500.00 into it, I spot my current SS Elky for sale, 3 miles away. Not that I was really looking, but the ad caught my eye. '69 SS El Camino $5K obo. I had to look. And then after 4 days no one had bought it. I couldn't believe it. It was not long after 9/11 though. So I got it for $4.4K. Yee ha. I was then able to sell my non SS the 2nd day the ad was out, for only a couple of hundred less than I had into it. Someone will have to give me web site tips for posting pictures when the paint's done in the next couple weeks. BTW I did fly to Plano Texas (Dallas Airport) to purchase my Vette last year. Horrible traffic trying to leave town.
