This is not as much as a Barn Find as most people are always posting about. It’s more of a Yard Find from Long Branch New Jersey where it sat out under a Pine Tree for 15 or so some years

Although this car is quite rusted considering it had new Quarters and Fenders installed many years ago. Most likely from sitting outside under a tree close to Salt Water but it never got touched during the Hurricane. I of course went to see this Chevelle as I wanted it for myself from what I was told about it.

It also had a Big Block 396 with a Powerglide but, now has a 350 4 Bolt Main under the hood still with the Glide. Also after we got the car back and ran the numbers it appeared to be a Corvette engine too Onto what this car is as of now. It still has the factory AC in the dash plus it comes with a Tilt Steering Column to go with the Bench Seat interior. It also has a set of 4 American Racing Mag Wheels to go on the car to make it period perfect so to speak.

As I said I went to be the first person to get the car. Matter of fact I was going to trade my 1991 Corvette Convertible for it! The Corvette is apart right now so don’t scream “What are you thinking!”. Not like I would trade a running driving Vette convertible for this. Well if this Chevelle had a even somewhen decent body on it I would have thought about it somewhat. I mean a Air Conditioned Big Block Chevelle with tilt steering on a Bench seat would have been somewhat neat. Just the more I looked at it when it got back to the shop said it all
