That '78 Cutlass looks totally unassuming until you open the hood. My kinda sleeper.

Ugh.

That's one 'Camino I've no interest in.

Primer gray with a small V6 and you're not interested? Color me shocked. :P

That's gotta be a misprint on the engine size in the '81 El Camino... they never put the little 2.8 in those. Maybe he meant 3.8?

On the other hand, if I had a spare GN drivetrain hanging around...

I'd rock the '71 Monte, not a bad price on a sweet car, and that 350 would become a 454 or 502 real fast.

GMPPD - 6.2 LS3, Tremec 6-speed, and throw the 2.8 to the dogs and we have a deal.

The Newport is quite nice.

As far as GM goes, off teh top of my head I like the `71 era Sedan Deville and the early to mid 70's Electras like this one:

And a '70 Chevelle SS 454 clone that looks awesome

Meh.

Not even a good clone - misses a ton of details.

Fun Chevelle, but not really a clone.

Not that that's a bad thing, I'd actually rather have a cool, hotted-up Chevelle than a true clone anyway.

Mob car. :mind-blowing:

Neat old truck, and a funny listing.

Is it worth $5K?

I am right there with you...although I would keep the 350. Perfect car for a warm summer evening.

God, I miss my Chevelle.

the 48 Chev and the 51 Ford are sweet also. I love old pikc-em-ups...

Love the Patina on that Ford. I'd just get the flathead going and drive that puppy.

Chris

Shoot, I thought you guys had a relatively car-friendly climate in MN. That old Dodge is typical of the Northeast, body-wise. Do you use cinders or salt for snow removal?

Up north like that winters are terrible on cars. I grew up in Wisconsin and remember the snow turning pink under cars when a door was slammed hard.

Granted, that was in the late 1960's, early 1970's, but stilll...

Sigh, I'm sorry about that, Joseph.

Actually I'd love a wagon of that era for a family weekend car. Saw a 60 Chevy wagon for sale awhile back...
