Been there. Done that...... Its to hard to build more than one car at a time, neither of them are where you want them and the $ goes out WAY faster than it comes in....Just stick with the Evo.

I have to agree with the more than 1 car thing.

but if you are going to dump money into a vehicle a muscle car is where it's at.
I bought my challenger 5 years ago for 13K and now you couldn't get me to part with it for 30,000.

daily the evo and build the muscle car up for shows and investment.

Well, I would just buy parts for the Evo, since I don't really have any interest in older muscle cars. That's just me though.

Your never going to get a Chevelle to perform like a modded Evo without spending a ridiculous amount of money in my opinion. Muscle cars don't do turns very well as far as I know. Depends what you want, looks or ridiculous performance.

I have been out to look at the car twice. The first time, I had a friend that did body work for 5 yrs, look over the car. He found very little wrong. The second time, I take a buddy, that knows all the numbers on these cars. He ran the numbers. It is a 350 Car. Its is hard to tell if its a True SS. If it was cloned it was done years ago.

I don't want to build the SS into a really fast car. I would prefer to keep it looking all Original. If the car is a Clone, I have seen the clones pull close to what the Real Deals bring. I have a Black 91 454SS truck and there was just somthing about having Two SSs in the garage!

Chevelle all the way! The EVO is already a nice and fast car. Sure it would be great to put money into it to make it faster but I would rather have two nice cars than one really nice car.
