1968 Chevrolet Chevelle Additional Info:

HI THERE,

YOU ARE LOOKING AT MY 1968CHEVROLET CHEVELLE SS 396 350 HORSEPOWER L34 4 SPEED 3.55 12 BOLT POSI CAR. RARE STEP UP MODEL FROM THE BASE 325 HORSEPOWER L35. ONE OF ONLY 9,630 L34 ( 350 HORSE ) MANUAL TRANSMISSION CARSBUILT. REALLOW OPTION MUSCLE CAR. MANUAL STEERING, MANUAL BRAKES, NO A/C, STEEL WHEELS W/ STANDARD HUBCAPS. IT DOES HAVE A CONSOLE AND AM RADIO.I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN2013 ON EBAY. ALL #S MATCHING. I HAVE A CLEAR TITLE IN MY NAME.CAR HAS BEEN OFF THE ROAD SINCE 1984 AND ONLY HAS 100,715 ORIGINAL MILES.

I'M SELLING THIS CAR AND SOON OTHER CARS TO HELP START MY OWN RESTORATION SHOP. I GRADUATED FROM MCPHERSON COLLEGE IN KANSAS WITH A DEGREE IN AUTO RESTORATION TECHNOLOGY BACK IN 2005. BY THE WAY I WAS 34 WHEN I GOT MY DEGREE. I WORKED FOR3 DIFFERENT RESTORATION AND HOT ROD SHOPS FROM 2005 TO 2007. I'VE BEEN WORKING AS A MAINTANCE MACHANIC SINCE 2007 AND I HOPE TO HAVE MY FIRST FULL BODY OFF RESTORATION FINIISHEDBY NOV OF 2018. I PLAN TO SHOW THE CAR AT THE MUSCLE CAR AND CORVETTE NATIONALS FOR POINTS JUDGING. LOOKING TO SCORE GOLD. THE CAR IS A 1968 BUICK GS 400 4 SPEED. I AM ALSO RESTORING A 1968 PONTIAC GTO FOR A VERY GOOD FRIEND OF MINE. HIS CAR WILL BE FINISHED AFTER THE BUICK. I PLAN ON CHARGING $45.00 PER HOUR SHOP RATE, MUCH LOWER THAN OTHER HIGH END SHOPS. I THINK ITS A FAIR RATE FORSOMEONE JUST STARTING OUT. IF YOU HAVE A1955 - 1974 GM PERFORMANCE CAR OR MUSCLE CAR AND ARE INTERESTED IN ME RESTORING IT PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND MAYBEWE CAN WORK SOMETHING OUT.

THANKS AND KEEP READING.
