Chevrolet Chevelle

I WAS TOLD THIS VEHICLE WAS A BODY OFF FRAME RESTORATION ABOUT 4-YEARS AGO! WHICH IN MY MIND THEY WOULD HAVE PUT EVERYTHING BACK AND MAKE THINGS AT LEAST WORK ! TAIL LIGHTS , BRAKE LIGHTS , REVERSE LIGHTS,LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS , DASH LIGHTS , FRONT PARKING LIGHTS DON'T WORK ! CONSOLE HAS A 2-SPEED POWERGLIDE INDICATOR AND TRANS IS A 3-SPEED TRANS. NO POWER LOOM TO CONSOLE WHICH MEANS NO REAR PASSENGER LIGHT , NO INDICATOR LIGHT , NO TRANS NEUTRAL LOCK OUT SWITCH , HEATER CONTROL DON'T WORK , RADIO DOESN'T WORK , FLOOR AIR VENTS HAVE NO CONTROL LEVERS TO OPERATE THEM . WINDSHIELD AND REAR WINDOW WERE INSTALLED IMPROPERLY BECAUSE THEY LEAK WATER. NO WINDSHIELD WASHER SYSTEM IN CAR. WINDSHIELD WASHER PUMP SHOT! WIPER SWITCH SHOT , LIGHT SWITCH SHOT !4-WAY FLASHERS DON'T WORK, TOOK OFF VALVE COVERS AND FOUND COMPLETE SLUG . FREEZE PLUGS LEAKING . INCORRECT MOTOR MOUNT WHERE INSTALLED. REAR SEAL LEAKING, TRANS LEAKING , WATER PUMP LEAKING . I HAD TO REMOVE MOTOR BECAUSE OF THE CARE I SAW THAT WAS TAKEN TO THIS VEHICLE. OIL PAN WAS FULL OF SLUDGE AND METAL PIECES. OIL PUMP WAS FULL OF METAL PARTICLES AND ORANGE PAINT. TRANS PAN WAS LOADED WITH SILVER RESIDUE . REAR END FLUID WAS BURNT . I CAN KEEP ON GOING HOW I GOT SCAMMED ! I HAD THIS CAR 40YEARS AGO. I LOVED IT. THAT'S WHY I WANTED ANOTHER ONE. THIS OWNER MADE CAR APPEALING WITH PICTURES ON E-BAY. I RECOMMEND IF YOU BUY A CAR ON E-BAY , GO OUT TO SEE AND DRIVE CAR B-4 GETTING RIPPED OFF LIKE I DID! THAT YOU E-BAY . SKIP

33years ago my frist car was 68 ss im very happy with my purchace.the best thing about this car is matching#L78.The seller has not produced the title yet,butVPP is doing a great job helping me get it.

72 is the last year of the hot rod chevelle no better car to have or rebuild. the looks and styling along with the power keeps this car on top of everyones wish list. in short its the best chevy hot rod one can buy end of story ! i've wanted one my hole life and bought one on ebay from the origenal owner in near mint cond. these chevelle's go up in value every day and are fun to drive :)

The person we comunicated with was very helpful in all ways. The pictures showed most of the good points about this car. the shifter was not installed right, had to go behind them and ajust linkage. rearend doesn't seem to be the right one, no pictures of the areas that were starting to blister and bubble. I expected better. people who sell on e-bay should take pictures of the good points and the bad. the discription didn't lie, just not enough info.

What a car to cruise in .This bad boy gets lots of attention and it is everything i wanted. We have cruised in the hot rod alot since i bought it,and man o man this thing brings me back to my high school days.The car itself of course is 40+ years old so the little comfort things do not come with these cars,but i think it is funny to have my kids wonder about the door locks and rolling down windows.

As perspective buyers it is of EXTREME SIGNIFICANCE that sellers fully and accurately describe & disclose ALL THE FACTS! Living fairly close to this seller I first called and spoke with him and asked straightforward questions that ALL would be buyers should ask. Simply put, the car WAS NOT as described as listed when I initially bid on & won it. As such, having been told that it had New Wheels, I found this NOT to be the case at all. These "New Wheels" had significant rust built up on the inside, even detectable on the outer sides of the wheels! The Original listing stated that a Brake job had been done within the last 100 miles. Strange but the Brake pedal went straight to the floorboard! I am an amicable person but Business IS Business and I take people at their Words till I find otherwise and they then lose credibility.
It is IMPERATIVE that sellers FULLY DISCLOSE ALL THE FACTS! Turns out the video is NOT taken here. I'm from here and know the area quite well. I had done my Homework and found that the pictures, description and all had basically been copied and pasted from when the seller bought the car about a year ago. THIS IS NOT RIGHT! Between the bad Brake job and so-called New Wheels that are actually not new at all, I then began scrutinizing this car and found damage not shown in any pics. Scratches on the trunk where the seller supposedly backed into his boat trailer! The body is fairly sound BUT it does have fairly significant issues with Rust all over the car.... around the wheel wells, around the windshield and on the hood etc. Bubbles in the paint evidenced the fact that a rusted car had been painted over. I DID eventually test drive the car after the seller added two bottles of Brake fluid and still, at best, had minimal brakes. Obviously the Brakes will need atttending to as will Rust all about the body.
As I finally did drive the car I must say that it does run STRONG but it did die on me when turning around in a parking lot. I believe the car has Ignition problems, from experience of having owned 2 SS 396s (a 67 & 68) along with a 67 GTO and a few other Muscle Cars. I am very glad that I live fairly close and did not have to travel substantial distance because I would have undoubtedly been even more disappointed than I already was.
Now that I have evaluated the car I would bid on it again however knowing what I DO KNOW will need to be done, I will only bid so much - and that's it.
I am not really surprised by what transpired but I am somewhat let down cause I had hoped it would be more like initially described. The buyer and I mutually agreed to forego the transaction. People - when you go to buy any used car I urge you to ask questions however we ONLY have sellers' WORDS to go by. As with any other eBay trabsaction, an item is only as good as disclosed and I certainly have no ill will toward the seller but he should have been more forthright with me. Afterall, no one wants to spend a significant amount of money on an item NOT as previously described! Again - we mutually agreed to cancel, forego, this transaction. Good Luck to all but I feel it only right that you should know what you are bidding on and getting into.

The seller is a dishonest person. Don't waste your time or money on this
car because the restoration's the poorest I've ever seen.If you have any questions
email me: dwp1927@cox.net

Has not ran since I bought it! The seller did not try to help me out. I will never buy a car on Ebay ever again!!!

THIS CAR I PAID $7250 FOR IS NOTHING BUT A RIPOFF. THE GUY LIED ABOUT EVERYTHING. DID NOT DISCRIBE THE CAR AS IT WAS.I TALKED TO HIM AND HE MORE LESS LAUGHED IN MY FACE.AT THIS TIME I WONT BUY ANOTHER CAR OFF EBAY BECAUSE THERE IS NO PROTECTION FOR THE BUYER ON CLASSIC CARS. THIS GUY SHOULD BE BANDED FROM EBAY. MONEY COMES TO HARD.
DAVE DYKEHOUSE

I DROVE 12 HOURS ON THE WORD OF HIM AND IT WAS BETTER THAN I THOUGHT A+ NOTHING WAS IN BAD SHAPE BODY VERY SOLID FOR A 67 GREAT PERSON TO WORK WITH. I SHOWED UP AT HIS HOUSE AT 12 AM AND WE LOADED IT UP
