Thanks everyone!
Id buy a buick GS I just think they look better than the Chevelles. and everyone knows a BBB will run circles around a BBC.
and
Just another option: Buy a 70-72 Buick Skylark GS. If its built right it will be faster more trq and ride better then a Chevelle and you will pay less.
Mmmm...not sure. Although I agree that Buick GS's look great, they just don't have that "mean, badass" look the Chevelle has...As for a BBB running around a BBC, I don't really mind as I'll probably never race the Chevelle...:redface:
I actually like the 71's better than the 70's. I like the round taillights and the marker lights better. The Chevelle is one of the premier musclecars. I would not hesitate for a second.
Since you asked for opinions I actually thought you were kidding when you were contemplating keeping a 2002 Thunderbird over getting one.
Sorry.
No, no...I already have the T-Bird! In fact, I've had it since new. It's just that I don't want to sell it, only to regret it afterwards, but after reading all the replies everyone wrote, I'm feeling more reassured now...:wink:
and
If don't want a All Original one,I'd get a cheap one,you'll have more money to fix it the way you like. don't forget a 454's gas consumption! slurp slurp slurp, fill up, repete...
Enjoy!
Well, I could do that...but I don't have either the room or the skills to do a "frame-off" kind of restoration. Also, I just turned 59 this year, and don't want to wait 'till I'm 65 before the car is finally ready to drive! I don't mind doing a few "bolt-on's" to the car, but no extensive work. That's why I'd rather pay a little more, but have a "turn key" car.
As for gas consumption, I'm not too worried as this is going to be a 2nd "toy", (my GN being the 1st one :smile: ), not a daily driver.
Here are a few more pictures showing different color combinations. I don't which one I'd pick...they're all beautiful!! :biggrin: I know there are a red one, a black one and a gold one for sale right now in my area...
...I think I'm beginning to like the GOLD one!...:redface:
Thanks everyone for the comments! Keep 'em coming!
