Guest Skyking Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I just had to buy it! I used to own a SS convertible and gave it to my brother in 1978. My son came across this one parked in a lot coming home from Stafford Springs swap meet................ New top, new interior and rust free! 283 automatic. Drives great!

Guest Skyking Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Very nice! Any plans for it? Thanks Bleach, the paint looks like maybe an old Earl Scheib at best and so/so on the bodywork. Next spring I'll probably do a repaint on it and change the wheels, put in some power steering and disc brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlCapone Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 A great reward to yourself and anything but a sickness ! A reward for the hard work and dedication you have dedicated to raising a family. A just reward as we too often only pay attention to others and not ourselves. Congratulations, Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime enjoy the wheels off of it as you'll be changing them anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_S_in_Penna Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 From the pictures, it looks like the top and seats were done nicely. If the car is with you in Florida, you're just entering the "sweet spot" of the old-car season! Congratulations on your new purchase, Skyking.

Thanks John, but unfortunately I'll have to wait for spring to enjoy the car with the top down. I'll be in Florida without the car this winter but maybe next year I'll ship it there for the 5 months................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buicknutty Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 That's a very nice car! Congrats! I'm no better, as I saw a very nice Buick Electra a few weeks ago, and then I bought it. Must some kind of disease, I think. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hudsy Wudsy Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I always wanted one of those. It makes my heart beat faster just looking at it. Many decades ago I had a beat up four door version of your Chevelle. For reasons that I never understood, it had traction in the Minnesota snow better than any other car I had ever owned. (Please don't drive yours in the snow, however.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
