I need the opinion from you old car lovers. I just picked up a 1967 Chevelle stationwagon. It's a calf. car, 327 275 hp. It has factory air and power windows. Is that cool or what? I put my corvette ralleys on it and plan to just make a nice cruiser out of it. Some nice fresh red paint a little interior work. My wife says all I need now is a pocket protecter and hornrim glasses. It's a chevelle, it's cool, right?
What do you guys think? How about the ladies, Would you ride in it?

Quietly hang on to it-relly nice, uncommon, ride-lots of potential. I've lost too many nice rides through the course of three marriages and two divoces. Looking back, I should have kept the cars and gotten rid of the... oh well, thats life. Best of luck!

Enjoy it......I've owned two Chevelle SS's(1969 & 70) and loved them. Chevelles were (are) just nice cars!

Kevin

p.s. Just throw a couple of chrome "SS" emblems on it and it will be really cool!

I think the old Chevelle wagons are cool. Add some SS trim pieces and a set of rally rims and you'll be "styling" |thumb| . Down the road add a RamJet 502 under the hood and I'm sure your wifes opinion will really change. That's my .02 cents!
