Default Trade Chevelle for 06-08 Z06 or Modded C6

I have a 1970 Chevelle Malibu with a 540 BBC, TH400, 12 Bolt. Has factory interior with the addition of a 6 point roll bar. Backseat is still there. Runs on pump gas and is street legal. Engine makes 850+ HP and around 750+ Ftlbs of torque. Body lines are straight, doors shut tight. All the best parts used to build. Has run the best of 9.95@135 with a 1.41 60ft on a marginal track. I made some changes to the rear springs, but have not taken it to the track to see if the 60ft improved. It has the power to go in the 9.7X range, the best 60ft on a good track was a 1.29. The motor and drivetrain are built to hold nitrous, throw on a 100-150 shot and go mid 9's. I have never used the transbrake, only footbrake off idle. I've always been worried that it would do a nasty wheel stand and screw up the back bumper. The car weighs 3650-3700 range without driver. I have the build sheets from under the back seat, the orginal Protecto plate, and the original owners manual.


Engine Specs:
1. Merlin III Block, 4.500 Bore, 9.800 Deck Height
2. Callies Dragonslayer Crank, 4.25 Stroke, 4340 Forged

Body:
1. Stock dash, bucket seats, backseat, headliner, door panels, and carpet.
2. All gauges work, all lights work.
3. All steel body except Harwood fiberglass hood. Hood is on springs and uses stock latches.
4. Body lines are straight, no rust in body, floorboards, trunk.
5. Tinted windows
6. Has some paint chips in rear lower quarters from burnouts, couple little dings in the front fenders. May have all this fixed when I return from deployment.
I’m sure I’m forgetting something, so just ask if you need more info. I drive this car back and forth to work without issues. Turns heads and pleases crowds at the track. Would drive it anywhere as long as you don’t mind stopping for gas a lot… Averages 5-8 miles per gallon around town. Have taken it on 100 mile trips in the heat with zero issues.



Engine, trans and rearend have 20 passes and roughly 2000 street miles.

Original it had a 350 /250 HP, Vinyl top and was Gobi Beige. It runs all day long in the heat and never gets hot. It doesn't have heat, AC, or Wipers. All the controls for heat, wipers are still in place as is the wiper arm assembly(looks cleaner without wipers). This car has been featured in magazines, and won several car shows. Over 20K just in the motor, more than 50K to build.

36K trade value. When I bought it, my bank valued it at 41K. It will only go up in value...

Trade for:

1. 06-08 Modded Z06 + I'll add some cash.
2. 06 and up Modded C6 prefer Hardtop with a manual trans.
3. Modded C5 Hardtop with manual + Cash my way.


No big hurry, just want to get the offer out there and wait for the right deal. I'm currently Deployed, but will be home sometime late March/ Early April.
Only reason for selling is that I'm going to be transferring in the next year and need a vehicle I can drive long distances, and get decent mileage.

Yes, Bill did a great job on the car. I added some nice stuff and made a few changes, but basically the same car. The Military has plans for me in the coming months and the Chevelle just isn't what I need right now. Of course it can sit in storage for a couple years, cause I'm not giving it away.. Thanks for the compliments.
