71 Chevelle - $1,500!

http://joplin.craigslist.org/pts/2037269492.html

I know it's a 2nd gen, but when's the last time you saw a 70-72 Chevelle in this complete of condition with a 454 included for this cheap? I almost flipped my lid.

damn, I sent it to my dad

Cool.

I tried talking one of my brothers into it, but he wants a 4wd. Sure beats the stripped down 70 SS for sale around here for $8,000. Even if it does have a Muncie.

Thats only what, around an hours drive away? MINI ROAD TRIP!

Depends. If you take Rt. 66 (I usually do) then it's a little more than an hour but you don't pay toll. Up I-44 & shoot off of the Baxter exit it's about 45 minutes as long as they aren't doing construction (they usually are though so figure an hour).

Wish my dad still had his 71.

More Cheap Chevelles. Did the bottom drop out on Early A Body values or what?

There were several other Cutlasses & such, but these are just a selection of the dirt cheap A Bodies that have been popping up as of lately. BOP cars never really shot into the stratosphere like Chevelles & none of them were as high priced as the 70-72 models with 70 being the worst. Looks like now is the time to buy one. Here's a Buick that I had to post:

68 Buick GS - $1,000 http://springfield.craigslist.org/cto/2058403531.html

Don't think it's just the Early A Bodies that are feeling the drop in values. People out there are really hurting in this economy and just realize they don't (or, won't) have the money to restore their projects and sadly, are having to unload them for quick cash. I hear it on a regular basis from owners of all kinds of cars with parts I find for people. Sending out a dome light today (N/C) to a poor guy who is unable to even come up with the $18.50 we agreed on.
