A Classic Chevy



I'm not sure what year Chevy this is but it's been lovingly restored.  My 4th car was a 1955 Chevy Bel Air - a four-door hardtop.  It took us from Minneapolis to Phoenix and back several times.  The only problem I remember is the muffler blew out on Route 66 in Oklahoma.

I would guess mid 1960s! My best friend had one and we cruised all over town in it! A great car!

Your Route 66 trip is the memorable sort. The ones where everything goes right? Less so!

I believe this is a 1971 Chevy Chevelle Malibu SS (Super Sport) that came originally with a 350 V-8 motor producing about 270 HP. By 1971 government restrictions and insurance costs had eliminated the LS6 big block 454 V-8 producing about 450 HP that was available in earlier years. These are desirable cars that now sell in the range of $35,000 to $45,000 and a few concourse level cars asking as much as $80,000. They are pretty cars designed to be fast in a straight line, but challenged to turn or stop. It would be a fun cruiser car.

I'll accept a ride in any convertible, classic or not.
