    Hi all ,
    First of all forgive me the typo,s Am Dutch .
    I just got myself a 1975 Chevelle station. propane fuel.
    and s far as I can see a rather original car .
    It has a few incontinence problems, that is something I have to work out .
    But it is a daily driver, so it is not a huge problem if he or she ( still not sure about is if it is a he or a she ) markes his/hers spot.
    Has a 400 and almost everythings works , even the CC and original radio, auto.jpg

    It,s leaking some coolant , just ordered a new waterpump and fan clutch. got them from rockauto, even with shipping and tax, it,s about half the price of what I would pay overhere,
    There is some rust , just clean and stop rust .
    Maybe I.m thinking a quick and dirty setup with 1 GT 45 turbo. But that 400 s just a two bold mains block, so boost should be limited , not sure if it is worth it .

    Welcome aboard. Looks like a solid car. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

    No cusom wheels, I just cleaned one removed the loose rust, And sprayed with a matt clear rust convertor .
    It,s a 48 year old car with original paint and no bondo , Faded to 50 shades of blue , I kind of like it this way .
