I'M HOPING THAT SOMEONE WILL AGREE THAT THIS PIECE OF HISTORY SHOULD BE RESTORED SINCE GM ONLY MADE A HANDFUL OF THIS MODEL. I HELPED A GOOD FRIEND OUT THAT NEEDED CHRISTMAS MONEY SO I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR A FEW DAYS AND I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT 1973 CHEVELLES. THE CAR WAS IN 6 COLORS SO I SHOT A QUICK COAT OF PRIMER ON IT TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A CAR. THE IMPRINT OF THE 454 EMBLEMS WAS VISIBLE ON THE FRONT OF THE FENDERS AND THE LARGE SS IMPRINT WAS STILL VISIBLE ON THE REAR OF THE FRONT FENDERS. I'LL START WITH THE BAD AND END WITH TH E GOOD. I DON'T RECOMMEND BUYING BY PICTURES SO IF YOU CAN,PLEASE STOP IN AND LOOK AT THE CAR OR SEND SOMEONE YOU TRUST TO LOOK AT IT FOR YOU. I'VE HAD A COUPLE OF DISAPPOINTED BUYERS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T READ THE WRITEUP AND DESCRIPTION,DIDN'T LOOK AT THE CAR AND HAD STARS IN THEIR EYES. HERE'S THE BAD: THIS CAR IS RUSTY AND IS ROUGH AS A NIGHT IN JAIL. THE HOOD IS BENT BECAUSE THE HINGES WEREN'T LUBED AND SOMEONE FORCED IT CLOSED. THE FRONT IS DENTED AND THE HEADLIGHT AREA ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IS SMASHED IN AS CAN BE SEEN IN THE PICTURES. THE FLOORS NEED PATCHED OR REPLACED DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU HAVE PLANNED FOR THE CAR AND YOUR BUDGET. THE TRUNK PAN IS SHOT AND NEEDS REPLACING.THERE IS NO ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION BUT I DO HAVE THEM AVAILABLE BUT NOT THE ORIGINALS. THERE IS RUST AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FENDERS AND AT THE BOTTOM OF THE QUARTERS THAT WILL HAVE TO BE REPAIRED. THE STEERING WHEEL IS MISSING AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT EVER HAD A CONSOLE BUT THERE IS NO CONSOLE NOW. THERE IS A LITTLE RUST ALONG THE REAR SIDE WINDOWS AT THE TOP. NOT REAL SERIOUS BUT IT'S THERE. THERE IS NO TITLE,BILL OR SALE ONLY. A TITLE CAN BE HAD FROM TITLE KING EXPRESS OR TITLES UNLIMITHED FOR AROUND $250-$300. I CAN SUPPLY THE PHONE NUMBERS IF NECESSARY. I JUST RECEIVED A TITLE FOR A 69 CAMARO AND IT WAS PAINLESS EXCEPT FOR WRITING THE CHECK. THE WINDSHIELD IS BROKEN. THATS ALL I CAN THINK OF, IF I MISSED ANYTHING IT WAS NOT INTENTIONAL. THE GOOD:SHE'S A RARE OLD GIRL AND THERE WAS ONLY A FEW BUILT WITH THE FACTORY 4 SPEED. LESS THAN ONE PERCENT HAD A 454 AND A FOUR SPEED TRANSMISSION. COULD BE AS LITTLE AS 50 CARS WITH THIS COMBINATION BUT PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG I THINK AROUND 600 WERE BUILT WITH THE 454 BUT MOST WERE AUTOMATICS. THERE ARE VERY FEW OF THESE REMAINING. THE CAR ALSO CAME FACTORY WITH AIR CONDITIONING, POWER STEERING AND POWER DISC BRAKES. THE REAR COULD BE A POSI BUT I HAVEN'T CHECKED IT . THE FIREWALL IS GOOD WITH NO RUST THROUGH, JUST SURFACE RUST AND THE FRAME IS GOOD. THE DASH LOOKS ALL ORIGINAL WITH ALL THE A/C CONTROLS, THERE IS NOT A FACTORY TACH. THE RALLY WHEELS LOOK REAL GOOD AND I WILL TAKE MONEY OFF THE SELLING PRICE IF I KEEP THE WHEELS. THE TIRES ARE NOTHING TO BRAG ABOUT. I HAVE THE REARS SEATS THAT NEED TO BE RECOVERED AND I HAVE THE DRIVERS SWIVEL BUCKET BUT THE PASSENGER BUCKET IS MISSING.I HAVE THE FACTORY DRIVESHAFT THAT GOES WITH THE CAR. THATS ALL I CAN THINK OF BUT ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU ARE SERIOUS. I CAN BE REACHED BY EMAIL OR MY CELL PHONE TILL 10PM EASTERN TIME.. 772-201-1905 GETS ME 7 DAYS A WEEK. I TRAVEL A LOT THROUGH THE SOUTH SO I MAY BE ABLE TO HELP WITH DELIVERY IF I'M HEADED YOUR WAY. IF YOU HAVE ZERO FEEDBACKS OR BID RETRACTIONS PLEASE CALL ME OR I MAY HAVE TO REJECT YOUR BID. I'LL TAKE JUST ABOUT ANY FORM OF PAYMENT INCLUDING PERSONAL CHECKS BUT I MUST WAIT TILL THE FUNDS CLEAR BEFORE I CAN RELEASE THE CAR. WIRE TRANSFER ALWAYS WORKS BEST. I MAY ADVERTISE THE CAR LOCALLY SO I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION IF SOMEONE PUTS A WAD OF MONEY IN FRONT OF ME THANKS FOR LOOKING,GOOD LUCK BIDDING,GOD BLESS AND MERRY CHRISTMAS.
