I gotta say, this is driving me insane! I agree with every one of y'all! I should trade it if it is as nice in person as it is in the pictures, I should keep it for the exact reasons bjuice gave. What the hell do I do? I have my '68 ChevyII that I considered cutting up for a race car, also considered the mini tubs. It is as nice as the Camaro as far as solid body.
bjuice, although I love the thought of building a streat beast like that, I don't think I would ever be able to really use it on the street as far as some distance cruising. We love to load up and go to the zoo, mountains, etc in the Nova and the Camaro.
I really do not want to cut either of my cars, they are that nice underneath. My Nova interior is beautiful, very comfortable to ride in.
I am confused right now, I have the Camaro advertised as low as I am going, I don't think I could build the '66 for what I am asking for the Camaro, not to mention it has a title too (the'66). I do know I want a race car since my '68 Nova will become our big block factory a/c cruiser!
I am concerned about recouping my $ should I trade for this car, aren't we all though! I must say, I do believe it is a desirable piece though!
Mike, the tranny is th400 w/trans brake, says he never used trans brake. He only ran foot brake.
He says the car itself was built by himself over about 6 years, bought the motor already assembled, has not run it enough to tune it good yet according to him. TopGun four link, Summers rear end with .456 and 31 spline axles. Certified to 8.50. I am trying to remember details as I go along, will add more later. Wilwoods on all four corners, stock front suspension.
