Discussion Forum - Northstar Chevelle Club

I like that a lot, maybe if I ask Santa he will buy it for me.

That is really neat to see a survivor but I don't value it anywhere near what he wants.

 Once again Mitch has is right!

I would say he is at least 5-7K overpriced.

I have to disagree... price is in the ballpark IMHO.

15k seems pretty reasonable to me for a car that doesn't need any restoration... just needs a whole drivetrain, which I'd want to select myself anyway if I were to build another car.

 Which is why I don't see it being worth 15k. By the time you swap in an entire drivetrain and then suspension and brakes to match, you're at 30k or more. Lots of nice looking, turn key, Nova's around for less than that.

Yeah, we sink more into our Chevelle's than they may bring on the market, but there is a much larger following of the Chevelle's and better odds of recovering more of the investment if it needs to be sold.

I'm not a big fan of the Nova body, so I'm probably prejudiced as to a value but 10k would be too high to me. At that price, it should be left as original as a survivor. If a person really wants that body style to modify, there are clean cars down south/west with worn out drive trains for far less...

Have trailer. Will travel...

I replied to this post earlier and must have hit the subscribe button instead of the post button.

I agree with both Derek and Mike, IF the car is as clean as advertised, it's in the ballpark, the add did say 'or best offer' so he left room for negotiation. I think there are two points to be made here.

If you lack the cut and paste skills, time, and tools that Mitch has go for the cleanest car you can find. That way you can enjoy driving it rather that working on it.

There are other cars out there for less money but in most cases your buying someone else's project and we know what that can be. So if you want to build your own, the way you want to, this could be the way to go.

You could have pretty nice ride for a lot less than 30k.

There was a similar car at CC a few years back that was a California car with a few more miles and a less popular color.  People were around that car all weekend and I think they got the full asking price for it.  With the cost of paint and bodywork what it is for those who don't do such things on there own, a clean survivor like that is a great start for a project.

 This car is a lot nicer than the Blue one. Either this one was meticulously cared for or "refurbished". The paint is very shiny and the under hood detailed to a gnats behind. I can see the green car getting the 13k price in that condition.

I would have to own it for under 10K
Really nice car though.

If it was priced better I would chase it down and own it!

Don't need it, if I go after something I am serious, I don't dicker for the entertainment.

If his asking price was at 10k we would be looking at it at the Bow Tie Brunch as the Nova Club Car with me as the owner!

 He posted just today that it is still available and is now looking for 15k or best offer.

Call him and tell him you have 9.5k cash in your hand waiting to transfer to his hand... worst he can say is no....

Nova wheel wells and rear spring design do not lend themselves to super mods without spending big$$$$. Remember the butchering of the rear 1/4 panels just to make oversize 15" 70 series tires clear?
Really neat car, great bones, hopefully, still destined to life as a survivor.
Like Mitch said, it would take big bucks to make it perform and handle. Would be a shame to carve it up.

Not a Member of that site, not joining, hence no contact effort.
Most of the time the "offer" statement still means "close to what I am asking"

Over the years, I have paid too much many times, am working more on becoming a "back row bottom feeder"

This is one of those instances, I would like it, don't need it, have to own it really right, even a little lower than Mitch's suggestions.

Probably is best I don't have his contact info. unless he gats really serious on pricing.

Would be fun to actually have it at the Bow Tie Brunch though. Whether it be mine, or he sneaks it over for all of us to see.

Perhaps it would help him move it.
