RE: [Chevelle-List] Spring Clean ups and 67 Malibu=sell or not ?

I agree that if the car is in relatively good shape, keep it if at all possible for a daily driver. I'd opt for a GM crate motor (350/330) and the TH350 for a driver. Values go up and down over time. I bought my first '67 SS when it was 6 months old for payments. Originally it cost around $3300 and less $600 or so already paid, about $2700 was my cost. Sold it a few years later for $1500. My current '67 I tried selling about 8 years ago and couldn't get $7500 for it. Going through a divorce at the time and needed the money. Now you're lucky to find a drivable SS car for that amount. Luckily I didn't sell the car and got back on my feet and redid it.

Subject: [Chevelle-List] Spring Clean ups and 67 Malibu=sell or not ?

Chevelle owners:

I hope this is not a lame question.

It is that spring time clean up time. I realize I have accumulated a lot of stuff.

Anyway. Thoughts sought on this. Trying to decide to sell my 67 Chevelle Malibu. It is in good condition and has the original 283 and powerglide. I am told the value of this car will not appreciate that much. I also have a 67 SS (numbers matching) and 57 Chevy Belair. The 67SS and 57 Chevy have appreciated in value, so putting money in these two are worth it.

Have thought of putting in 383 stroker and turbo 350 trans in 67 Chevelle Malibu and making it a daily driver, cruiser. But, again not sure if worth to keep. Would that combination make for a good driver ?

Any thoughts on value appreciation of the 67 Malibu. I have been told that it won't appreciate like my 67 SS which has already gone up in value 40 percent.

Any thoughts from those in the know ? Sell or keep ? Daily driver or not ?

Thanks,

Big Ken
