Finding a good Chevelle is not hard. To get an SS (at least Hemmings said) for around $15,000. My friend found a Malibu, same body but four door for under $4000. He is going to drop a 454 in it soon.

my neighbor has a 68 convertible chevelle that is a one owner car with full restoration. You can rub your hand on the underside of the car and not get dirty. I like all the old cars in your pic.

Too bad that when you sold it, it was just a used Chevy. It WOULD be nice to have it back. Nice color combo, too.
