    Oh wow, that's awesome. I wish I could hear it. :( You should definitely stroke it! There's no replacement for displacement! :D

    And, you should upload a video of it idling and revving! :D:D

    I don't know if you can get a runner for $10K, but for me the MGA is a hypnotically beautiful car. I saw one once in a garage under a pile of lumber and it still looked great.

    I see this happen way too often. Someone strips down a perfectly good car and then doesn't finish the project. This car will most likely be sold and used for parts.

    http://houston.craigslist.org/cto/828233598.html no affil.

    Impala SS for sale. I started a frame off restoration and I do not have the time to finish it. The car is complete with a new crate motor as well the the original 327 and 2 speed powerglide transmission. I have a lot of time and money invested in the car; but it needs to be finished. The car is completely disassembled. The body and frame are primed and ready for paint, it has a new gas tank, trunk pan and floor pans, and the body 100 % completely straight and just sitting on the frame, all the glass is good. This car is for someone who wants to build a show winner, just pick your color and put it back together. The work that has been completed thus far was professionally done and very expensive. I have a clear TX title; the car is a true numbers matching SS. I am the third owner; the second owner purchased the car in 1969 for a Chevrolet dealer in California. The car still had the California black tags when I purchased it. I paid $6500 for the car and I have invested over $6000 in the work done thus far. As you can see from the before picture (car was painted a copper color, car is now primer) the car was nice before I started the restoration. I do not have to sell the car, so please only serious inquiries. I can send more pictures upon request.

    You know Candyapple,

    There are things such as web space and blogs where this crap would be much more relevant. Posting word for word CL ads is plain stupid and clutters up CP. No one is discussing anything on this topic and you are just cutting and paisting information NO ONE but you cares about.

    Get yourself a nice little piece of web space and start a blog for those who care. This thread has no redeeming value whatsover since you just started copying links into it. Let it die and do CP a favor and stop clogging the forum because you're bored.

    FWIW

    look at all the rude and obnoxious posts I have to ignore and you want to whine about a car thread or a bumper sticker thread roflol

    The mods can see right thru your last ditch games to get me banned. The mods are most likely tired of hearing you whine. It's not that hard to ignore someone's posts or threads but you aren't even trying. Like I said I have to do it all day long and it's not that hard if you try.

    have a good day. I know I am :D

    Never said anything about the BS (bumper sticker thread). Atleast it has some discussion going on in it.

    Not playing any games....just pointing out the complete lack of relevance of this thread. I agree others post irrelevant things, but they die rather quickly and are forgotten. But, because you're bored (whatever the reason) you keep cutting and pasting publicly available information which is only useful to a very small portion of the CP membership if they are even the slight bit interested.

    I have Led Zeppelin blog, I could easily do what you are doing and cut and paste crap about LZ in a never ending thread. But since not everyone is interested in hearing about my passion for LZ I put a link in my signature. Yes, I have a large Karma thread going, but unlike this thread people are actually interested and post positive comments about what is available to them.

    You should do the same (start a blog) for your CL listings you seem to be so passionate about.

    I'm not baiting you or playing games anymore. It was just my suggestion, a light handed one at that. I'm sorry you are so paranoid to think every little point of criticism is designed; in your words "The mods can see right thru your last ditch games to get me banned. The mods are most likely tired of hearing you whine."

    In fact other than the "Ears bleeding thread" this is the only thing I've posted that remotely has anything to do with you. I'm flattered to no end to think I have such an affect on you and your time here on CP. Hope to see you at PF '08 ;)

    I said my piece. You can continue debating this for another 5 pages if you want ;)

    and by the way I've never opened your lz thread or if I did, it was only one time to see what it was all about. That's called self-control and I make an attempt to have the best I can.

    excuse me while I drive my air conditioned 66 to lunch. Hopefully someone in their brand new 09 beemer won't plow into me. The 40 year old ps pump is starting to leak so that's my next project once the weather breaks here. A new reman. pump is $50 with exchange.

    Back to the topic:

    The second generation Corvairs were lovely to look at but, speaking from experience, I wouldn't recommend driving one. And as for the price qualification, you could probably get a few for $10K.

    You are such a dumbass...

    The point is, you keep bumping a thread that NOBODY but you is posting in. You are so dense that you can't figure out that nobody but you gives a **** about it. Let it die.

    I could care less about you being banned. I actually think that if you'd pull your head out of your ****, you are probably an ok guy. Your problem is that you are so in need of attention and to stand out from the crowd that you don't mind being the scourge of the forum to do it. That's sick. If you would just be yourself, you would get along fine.

    Here, Carl, I will properly quote his post. Quit being an a$$hole by truncating posts when you quote them. If you are going to minimize what they have said as if it isn't important, don't bother with the quote button. It is a blatant sign of disrespect.

    this car has the supersport engine in it with supersport interiorIt runs great current registration and inspection daily driver. 327 with a 400 trans, this car is a 1964 so its not in new shape so if you are looking for a show car this is not the car for you if it was in show condition id be asking 30,000 dollars for it call me i have lowered the price, if i do not sell it at trhis price i will take out a 5000 dollar loan against it from my bank call me i have a clear title and it does have a new fresh paint job

    2. 1964 Impala SS hardtop see pics link - $14000 (San Antonio )

    http://houston.craigslist.org/cto/835209576.html no affil.

    1964 Chevrolet Impala SS hardtop.

    327 engine, 4 speed, numbers matching.

    no troubles. smooth easy ride. no oil leaks.
    i have had to do no major repairs in the 4 years that i have had it. i changed the wheels but still have the originals which will go w/ the car when it sells.

    i'll begin showing the car to any interested parties NEXT WEEK.

    pics are at http://www.sendpix.com/albums/08091008/5x24irv4jd/?p=1
    cut and paste this link into your browser.

    $14000 price is firm.

    nada values this car at $10,463 for "low retail," $19,575 for "average retail" and $33,480 for "high retail."

    this car is fairly priced. i don't absolutely have to sell the car so the price is firm so i would appreciate it if you wouldn't contact me if you aren't looking to spend that much.

    odometer reads about 35000.

    once again, i'll begin showing the car to any interested parties NEXT WEEK.

    thanks
