Nothing wrong with a 6 cyl Pete , my first American car when I was 17 was rotten 76 Camaro with a single side exit cherry bomb and mk3 escort tail lights that someone had grafted on to get around the Amber turn signals to get it through an MOT , I paid about £300 for it with 12 months MOT , I was king of the street that summer :lol:

No I sold it a couple of years back, as much as I liked it , it had kicked my backside over the previous few years one too many times so I decided to sell it, plus I had my 69 Camaro even before I got the Chevelle so I guess that will be car I will always keep ( had it for nearly 20 years now ) and there are way to many muscle cars out there that need thrashing to keep anything too long nowadays. :lol:
