    you know, there is something about the squared taillights on the 70 that makes it special for me by the way, have you seen the movie "Faster" with the rock? it has the exact thing you are talking about. Pretty sweet car https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZcPyDKsGy0

    Trying to get the most out of old paint, 1965 Impala SS

    no problem. Truth be told, I think the 70 Chevelle is maybe the best looking Chevy of the late 60s and 70s. There was a red with black stripes 70 Chevelle SS here in El Paso a while ago (maybe 2002), 396 with a 4 speed, it was amazing, the guy wanted 15k. I wanted that car so bad

    I got it appraised about 3 years ago for 17.5k, so Im looking in that neighborhood, but I am willing to negotiate thanks man, yea the 65 is my favorite too, it just has classic lines the 67 is my second favorite, its more muscular, but the taillights on the 67 kill it for me.
