Description

BARN FIND!! BARN FIND!! BARN FIND!! I FOUND IT IN MY POLE BARN. I PUT IT THERE IN 2013. HAHAHA.

HI THERE,

YOU ARE LOOKING AT MY 1968CHEVROLET CHEVELLE SS 396 350 HORSEPOWER L34 4 SPEED 3.55 12 BOLT POSI CAR. ONE OF ONLY 9,630 L34 ( 350 HORSE ) MANUAL TRANSMISSION CARSBUILT. REALLOW OPTION MUSCLE CAR. MANUAL STEERING, MANUAL BRAKES, NO A/C, STEEL WHEELS W/ STANDARD HUBCAPS. IT DOES HAVE A CONSOLE AND AM RADIO.I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN2013 ON EBAY. ALL #S MATCHING. I HAVE A CLEAR TITLE IN MY NAME.CAR HAS BEEN OFF THE ROAD SINCE 1984 AND ONLY HAS 100,715 ORIGINAL MILES.

I AM SELLING THIS CAR AND SOON SOME OTHER CARS ( 1969 PONTIAC CUSTOM S CONVERTIBLE PROJECT) ( 1969 PONTIAC CUSTOM S HARDTOP PARTS CAR ) TO HELP START MY OWN RESTORATION SHOP. I GRADUATED FROM MCPHERSON COLLEGE IN KANSAS WITH A DEGREE IN AUTO RESTORATION TECHNOLOGY WAY BACK IN 2005. BY THE WAY, I WAS 34 WHEN I GOT MY DEGREE. I WORKED FOR3 DIFFERENT RESTORATION AND HOT ROD SHOPS FROM 2005 TO 2007. I'VE BEEN WORKING AS A MAINTENANCE MECHANIC SINCE 2007 AND I HOPE TO HAVE MY FIRST FULL BODY OFF RESTORATION FINISHEDBY SPRING OF 2020. I PLAN TO RACE THE CAR IN THE F.A.S.T. RACING SERIES. HOPING TO GET INTO THE 10s. THE CAR IS A 1968 PONTIAC GTO RAM AIR 2, TURBO 400, 4.33 REAR. I ALSO HAVE MY 1968 BUICK GS 400 4 SPEED THAT IS NEXT ON THE LIST. THAT CAR WILL BE FINISHED AFTER THE GTO. I PLAN ON CHARGING $45.00 PER HOUR SHOP RATE, MUCH LOWER THAN OTHER SHOPS. I THINK ITS A FAIR RATE FORSOMEONE JUST STARTING OUT. IF YOU HAVE A1955 - 1974 GM PERFORMANCE CAR OR MUSCLE CAR AND ARE INTERESTED IN ME RESTORING IT PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND MAYBE I WILL BE RESTORING YOUR GM MUSCLE CAR. IF THE WINNING BIDDER IS INTERESTED IN ME RESTORING THIS CHEVELLE THAT WOULD BE GREAT. I HAD THE CAR FOR 6 YEARS AND HAD HOPES OF RESTORING IT. THE CHEVELLE WOULD NEED BETWEEN 1000 AND 1200 HOURS OF LABOR. IT NEEDS A GOOD AMOUNT OF METAL WORK, BUT VERY FEW OPTIONS TO RESTORE.

THANKS, AND KEEP READING.

I AM GOING TO GO OVER THE WHOLE CAR PHOTO BY PHOTO. IF INTERESTED PLEASE READ THE COMPLETE DESCRIPTION.
