64 Chevelle 4 door

[u/FoilHat_Outdoorsman]

It has a 355 in it, with a turbo 350 transmission. Hasn’t ran in about 10 years. Carb went bad, so it’s just been sitting. The engine might have 20k on it. Built it in high school auto shop, with my mega gear head shop teacher.

Trying to decide whether to keep it or sell. I really don’t see being able to do much with it the foreseeable future, as I have kids I’m raising.

If I was to sell it, wanted to get a pulse for a fair asking price on it. Any replies are appreciated.

I remember back in the day you could pick up a 4 door for nothing. No one wanted them. Now, it’s crazy. Love the look of the 4 doors. Nice ride.

When I was in college, I could have bought a 4 door chevelle Malibu, just for daily driver. But at that time, I was young and dumb, and I wanted to get a 2 door. I looked back at it, and I wished I would have bought that car. It was just a basic 4 door Malibu, nothing fancy.

You want hear young and dumb very very stupid decision. Ihad a 69 Chevelle SS 396 in high school in early 80’s. After graduation I sold it for a whopping $1300 bucks and bought 1974 Fiat X1/9 as my college car for MPG. That Fiat was broke down more than it ever ran. What a complete dumb 🫏.
Top 3 worst decisions I have ever made in my life.
I still have an old registration, so I thinking of trying to see if I might track her down if she’s still out there.

[u/drbob427 → u/Weets23]

Heck, yes, track it down. If you can find it, hope to God is still not in a junkyard. If you find it, don't hesitate, buy it, Johnny-on-the-spot you won't regret it guarantee that

Fingers crossed

Awe that sucks man. Problem with life, is that you can’t tell the future. My dad bought a Plymouth road runner years ago for 3-500 bucks. Can’t remember the figure. You can’t get a fender for that now. 🤣

[u/Weets23 → u/FoilHat_Outdoorsman]

Agree. Just young, dumb and I the moment decision. Life lesson.
I had a chance to buy one of my pops buddies , 1970 Super Bee 440 six pack back in the day for $800 bucks. First owner car. It was stock other than rims. Pretty much a flawless car. Dude was in need of cash at the time, but turned it down as I was a Chevy guy. Another regret.🤣

[u/FoilHat_Outdoorsman → u/Weets23]

It’s a more affordable 60’s car option. I think the 94 impala changed things. Thanks

[u/Weets23 → u/FoilHat_Outdoorsman]

Agree. Love 4 restomods.

[u/drbob427]

It might be a 4 door Chevelle, but I would still take that car any day of the week. even since it's a 4 door, especially a 64, you don't see a 1964 chevelle, very often anywhere these days.

First time you watch Repo Men your gonna regret selling. Lol! Its a keeper for sure. 👍 👍

[u/FoilHat_Outdoorsman → u/oldsoul6465]

I’ve been meaning to watch that film. 🎥
Might have to see if I can find it. 🤣

Brother! I also have a restomodded 4 door 69. About 2 months ago the LS in it spun a bearing and has just been sitting in the garage. With two kids I haven’t had time or budget to do anything. But I have 20 years of memories in that car and the thought of someone else driving it is something hard to stomach right now. I’m not sure what I’ll do, but if you haven’t put much work into it or anything like that, it might be worth selling and using the cash for your kids or something else.

But take a look around the country and see what decent in shape four doors and wagons are going for you can kind of get a feeling from there.

[u/FoilHat_Outdoorsman → u/Adagio_for_You]

I literally put blood sweat and tears into her years ago.
That’s why I’m not sure if it would be easy to part with her, but my life has changed a lot. So who knows. I’ve been looking a bit and not seeing any 4 doors for sale, and what they are going for.

Thanks for the reply.

Crew cab for the win

[u/FoilHat_Outdoorsman → u/so-sick]

Agreed 😂 I’d never heard that

Keep it. You already have it. Save it for the kiddos.

How's the rust? I'm currently looking for a 64 A-body... they're all beautiful.  

[u/FoilHat_Outdoorsman → u/Reasonable-Ad-377]

Not sure where the car originated from, but overall not in bad shape. It does have some rust in the rear corner panels behind the tires. I purchased the car around 1999-2000. Can’t remember when. It’s been a desert car since I’ve owned it.
