I'm Tempted to Go Brand-X HELP!!!
« on: July 13, 2005 - 12:38:37 PM »

I have been looking at eBay and there are some nice ones out there, and it got me thinking.....


I like these brand X cars:

# 1970-1971 Chevelle SS
# RS Camaro Z28


They are right in my price range for an excellent conditon and I have had a little crush on the Chevelle since I knew muslce.
What should I do? Know one will tlalk to me here if I get another camps car.  :'( :-[

Do you guys honestly like any of thoughs cars above?  :(



Cheers (Let the flaming begin)  :laughing:

They are OK.  but to me the body of those Chevelles just look too big and bulky.   What ever happened to buying a charger?  :dontknow:

Can't afford it.  :( Not with a Challenger and putting money in for a garage. A 23 year old can only do so much.  :thumbs:


Here's another Brand-X I would drive... :)

Things to remember are:

# Its not for show/racing it's a nice classic Muscle "daily" driver.  :)
# ANY Muscle down here is good.  :grinyes:


I am a V8 man no matter what brand but MoPar is in my veins and always will be but I cana appricate other brands of muscle as well.  :thumbs:

 :iagree:    Any muscle is good.  I would drive them both.  Just prefer mopars.       :thumbs:




Actually, that camaro would probably cost more than a charger.

 It's your money spent it as you like !
 Theres plenty of them out there to choose from as many more were made than Charger/Challenger
 Should not have a problem selling it , if we harrass you into selling....

 Myself, I will only harrass you for not replacing the rare factory side molding on your Challenger  :gripe:

 How about I find you a Chevelle + Charger , and you find me a factory 340 Valiant Charger and early 70's Holden Monaro...

LMAO!!  :laughing: Body Side Molding =  :puke: See photo below, how can you cover up those lines!!!!!!  8)


As for the Charger, I can try, give it a walk around and photos - you ship.  ;D


Maybe I'm just rushing because I want a car now....I'd rather have a 70 Cuda over any of that brand X stuff.  :grinyes: :drool:

NZ...............my man your talking to the right guy about those two brand x cars..........i can confidently say I am an expert of these......particularly the 70 Chevelle.......I have judged past shows at concours events on Chevelles..........I have won Super Chevy in Memphis twice with a 70 SS-454 all numbers and dates codes matching.......sold it 4 years ago for $27,500  it has since been sold for $42,000.   
The RS 69 Z-28 as you know is a nice car too..........love those hidden headlights......there is a wonderful unrestored car that is yellow with a 69 DZ motor and an extra motor that I have tried <unsuccessfully> tried to buy...........ok now that I have tooted my own horn let me say both of these cars will cost you more to purchase than any Charger with the exception of a hemi or perhaps a six pack car.........so you wont get out cheaper..............UNLESS you go with a 71 thats still a little cheaper than a 70 or a 72 thats lower compression and cheaper than both the other chevelles...........the 69 RS  Z-28 is a coveted car.
BOth are solid investments, as is I hope my 70 Challenger RT/SE.   But I bought the Challenger cause you can buy them all day long and twice on Sundays cheaper than Chevelles or Z-28 Camaros (pre 71).    I think the Mopars are going on more quickly in value just now <because> they are cheaper to buy, the body style is nice and the average Joe can buy one, restore it, and sell it at a profit easier than a Chevelle or Z car..............well thats my opinion and I think its a good one, cause I have owned Chevies these past years..........till i got back on the right medicine.......... :spank:

Thanks Gomango for your input but I have seen many a Challenger in the $100K mark, and 'Cudas up to 4.5 million.
If anything the Chevs need to catch up to where the E-Body value mark is.... ;)

I should have stated these cars will be clones if possible unless I find a good deal on a #'s vehicle but like all my cars these are bought to be driven and no thought of resale or investment was ever considered. The Challenger will never leave my side, ever.  :grinno:

I'm more in favor of the Chevelle SS I think, based on looks and value and style.


Cheers,
Carl

NZ i respect all american muscle cars. My son is a chevy guy and we poke fun with it all the time. I like both choices you have showin. But would take the 70 Cuda as a first choice foresure. Bottom line you should do what ever u want, its your cash mate. Cheers

I have a soft spot for `68-9 Chevelles as my first car was a `68 SS and also for `67-`70 Mustangs.The `69 Camaro Z is a nice car but way, way too many of them around for me to want one.  ::)

NZ

People should not want to talk to you because of the car you drive, true friends like you because of who you are. Besides that we still share a common interest in Muscle Cars. Sure we all have fun givin each other a hard time if someone drives a brand other than what we drive. I will always talk/chat with you no matter what you drive.

Wait I take that back, as long as it's not a Ricer. Only kidding :dogpile:
