Default Got my old car runing

Got my old car running. Going up for sale soon. Any one else start out with a muscle car and then fell in love with the muscle car enemy? Rebuilding carburetors sucks. Never really finished this dam thing.

Is that a '70? I'd hold on to it. I got close to buying a '69 SS 396 a decade ago for $3500. I'm kicking myself in the ass for not buying it.

Its a 72 383 stroker. Its been on Craig's list for about 12 hours I have got 2 offers already.

Its just time for it to go its been siting in my driveway for 3 years. I just don't feel for this car anymore. Plus Ive got the honda bug again. Not sure what i will get with the money. If I was smart I should dump it into the house.

el caminos dont fetch the price other cars of the era would with the exception of a couple odballs ... like the one you mentioned

and being that its a 383 ... it does lose a bit of the value ... people nowadays want 100% stock, or restored to stock.

still that said, nice lookin SS
