I am selling my 1971 Chevelle Coupe. It’s a turn-key, badass muscle car.
Original AC car. Starts right up every time, idles great, runs, drives
and stops as it should. It is painted satin black with gloss red rally
stripes for contrast and looks aggressive. The black interior has modern
front bucket seats and rear seats that are in great shape as are the
door panels, carpet, and headliner. The body has metal patches from
previous bodywork. The engine is a small block Chevy v8 with power
steering to make driving easy, has all of the original / factory AC
system present, electronic HEI ignition system, and electric fuel pump.
It has 22″ custom wheels and tires all around, aftermarket air horns,
LED lighting, etc. It is by no means a perfect show or museum car, but a
great turn-key driver that you can enjoy.
This is a
NO RESERVE auction, meaning that the car will be sold to the highest
bidder. Sold as-is. Message me with any OFFERS, QUESTIONS, or to COME
SEE THE CAR in person prior to bidding.
Rat Rod? Beater Donk?
Could be a lot of fun for $7k
I'd want to throw some normal wheels on there and drive the piss out of it. Selling the wheels and tires that are on it will probably cover a decent % of a new wheel/tire combo. Then paint it over the winter, assuming you live somewhere that has winter, and you aren't into flat black.
And find an original bench seat to replace what looks buckets from some unknown donor. That is no beater though, and I'd be surprised if it goes for 7k. Be a prime flipper candidate at that price.
