Here are some more information for Chevelle Gto:

The Northern Girls may knock me out, but put me out West or down South so I can cruise around all year round with the top down! There is nothing better than a convertible! Classic, Muscle Car, Sports Car, or Luxury Car - it ALL works!!!

Driving around with the wind blowing in your face, in your hair, in the open air, what a great feeling! Takes me back to my younger days, cruising down to Santa Cruz, with the boards in the back, looking cool and ready for action ( in our own minds anyway! ). Partial to Pontiacs, I love the GTO and Firebird Converts the best. Although, put a rag top on a Chevy, be it a Vette, Camaro, Chevelle, Classic Impala, or Monte Carlo, and it works good too! And of course, we can't overlook the classic 55-57 T-Birds! I suppose we need to include the older classic roadsters, many which came with NO top, they were just open!

I've seen some slick new convertibles out lately, like the Eos by Volkswagen. Have you seen one? It's what they call a hardtop convertible, where the hard top goes down into the trunk. It is super quick at it, too, taking all of about 25 seconds. The Eos also comes with a sunroof for those days when you don't need the whole top open. Pretty sweet! Reminds me of the Ford Fairlane Skyliners, which were only available from 1957 thru 1959. A classic beast of a car, and a pretty slow crank down, but then - it was the 50's!!! The top, once down, took up the whole trunk, with all the mechanics for it. But it still looked cool, and you had the best of both worlds - hard top and no top!!

Shopping around the aftermarket auto web stores, it's nice to see you can now get a good quality replacement convertible top for just about any older convert. It doesn't seem that long ago that the best you might do was a shabby, one-size-fits-all jobber that likely only came in an ugly white or cream color, or black. Depending on your car color, it probably looked bad. And, it probably leaked, and never folded up worth a hoot. The windows in 'em were always fun too. Extra points if you could actually SEE out of it, they were a nightmare when folding up the top, and cracked easily.

So, whatever your car choice is, if you can get it with a rag top, by all means go for it! Even if you live in the Midwest and have to sit in it in the garage 6 months out of the year!! Long live the Summer!

What to look for before buying your dream car

There are many people who dream of owning a classic car and they imagine themselves driving along the beach in a convertible 1966 Mustang, or cruising down the road in a 1964 GTO. But how easy is it to buy your first classic car? MyClassicCarWorld.com has helped thousands of people find a great classic automobile to purchase and enjoy for years.

What to look for

Buying a classic car is fairly straightforward, but you do need to take care in deciding exactly what type of vehicle best fits your needs. It's no good buying a 1967 Camaro if you want to use the vehicle for family outings (with kids and dogs). But a bigger classic car, like a 1968 Roadrunner might be more what you need. Key practical considerations therefore need to be: Number of passengers, number of doors, hard-top or convertible, gas mileage.

Where to store it

Where you store the car is also a major factor. Unfortunately, most muscle cars simply don't stand up to the weather like new ones, so you'll need to keep your new antique auto in a garage to maintain its appearance. Leaving a classic automobile outside, even in areas with warmer climate, is not good for the car's longevity.

Condition

The condition of your selected collector car is a major consideration. If you have lots of auto repair experience in your background, a rust bucket will hold no fear for you. The key is to be very realistic about what you can take on. A full rotisery restoration project is one thing ? but it might make more sense to take on a project that has been partially completed, and just needs a few odd and ends to get it back on the road.

Equally, you may find a 'bargain' that may well be worth more than you paid when it is complete. But spending hours trying to find obsolete parts, or having to outsource elements of the rebuilding project to experts, will soon make you wonder whether it was all worthwhile.

A sensible option when buying your first classic car is to spend a little more money, but go for something that is presentable even if it takes a little longer to find that special car that you have been fantasizing about.

Where to find Classic Cars

The internet is a great way to track down a classic car. In the old days, buyers had to scour the newspapers or buy specialist magazines, but now simply typing 'Corvette' or 'Chevelle' into Google is likely to bring up results. You'll find dealer sites, individuals using auction sites like e-bay, even classic car ads placed on classified sites such as MyClassicCarWorld.com.

Prepare before you buy

If you've progressed to going out to look at classic cars, choose a time to see it during the day time. Avoid seeing it at night, or in the rain too. You should also consider taking along an expert with you. When inspecting a potential classic car, be sure to:

? Look underneath the vehicle.

? Look for signs of sagging, which might indicate suspension or chassis problems

? Carefully look for signs of bodywork repairs, especially paint retouches.

? Inspect the body for rust and rot, or cracking in the example of fiberglass-bodied cars, like Corvettes.

? Lift up the carpets if you can, checking the floor pans.

? Try to start it from cold. Most owners warm their cars before buyers arrive.

? Take it for a test drive ? listen for knocks, grinding, and look for smoke which may indicate oil escaping and burning.

? Be aware of a soft or lazy clutch and check to see whether the car has a tendency to pull to the left or right.

We hope this information will help you take the first steps to buying a classic car. The key things to remember are: Take your time to consider what's best and consider your options; Don't be afraid to ask an expert or knowledgeable friend for advice; Ask plenty of questions; And be thorough with your inspection. Always offer the owner less than he or she is asking.

Follow these simple rules and your purchase of a classic car, muscle car, or antique auto should be a joy, not a disaster.

GTO or Charger SRT8 faster than a chevelle?

I have a 1968 cutlass (basically the same as a chevelle) with 3.08 gears. I am thinking about maybe going to a new car or another old car and I want to spend around $15,000. What is faster than my car that would beat a new mach 1? Maybe a 2005-2006 GTO? Or possibly a sleeper BUT NO RICERS!!! Thanks.
