[QUOTE="RedVenom48, post: 16227176, member: 166576"] I owned, years before I knew how to actually work on cars, a 1970 Chevelle. I was lucky that it was a rust free desert car. Billed as a 454 Chevelle it was VERY rough. Sported SS396 badging.... Got it home, spent a ton of money on it (what i had when I was younger anyway). Fully rebuilt engine, new front and rear glass, new repop interior. She was on her way. Turns out the car was an SS396 with the F41 suspension and brake package with a year correct LS5 454 big block. someone sprayed her primer gray and stuck a 6 cylinder VIN tag on the dash.... :D :D Then I realized that the brakes were shit and needed complete overhaul, the rear end was in need of a rebuild, the trans was in need of a rebuild, the suspension needed attention. I couldnt afford it and had no tools or experience. Let her go with full disclosure of everything going on, VIN tag an all. That being said: If someone ELSE has already invested that time and money into her and you just maintain and enjoy, then it would be worth your time.
