1970 Chevrolet Chevelle 300 Deluxe
Muscle & Hot Rod Enthusiasts
I have created a CarDomain Group where enthusiasts can share their love for hot rods, classic and muscle cars. Share photos, links, ask questions or create general chatter in the forum, find others interested in buying or selling classic autos or parts, and so on. It's a public group, anyone may join and most of all have fun!
I've always dreamed of owning a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle, and my dream came true in September 2006. I came across an ad for the car on AutoTrader and couldn't believe what I was reading - the car was located about a half hour away! The owner, I later found out, was also a member of this site (visit his page ). The car has a non-original 350-ci 4-bbl and TH-400.
I was attending college when I purchased the car, so funds were lacking. I had a 1970 455-ci Oldsmobile that I was just itching to drop in the Chevelle, so I spent a winter buying a new camshaft, headers and rebuilding the engine. Before I could do the engine swap, something happened which has since caused me to stall any plans for the Chevelle. I since bought a 1969 Chevelle Malibu and a 1969 Camaro, so my attention has shied away from the car.
The car came from the factory with a big-block, though a previous owner removed it and dropped it in an El Camino.
