  • What ya think this would get in the 1/4 mile?

    Im thinking of gettting a 1975 Chevy Chevelle Malibu. It has a 454 Big black in it that was rebuilt. Its getting a new tranny which is auto but oh well. It was used for drag racing and it did pretty good i think? It dont have the windshield wipers or the a/c and the seats are torn a little with a little rust under the wheel well. It has new exhaust, shocks and brakes. He wants 4,500$ for it. And the 454 with over 450HP has about 6,000 miles on it is it a good deal and what do u think it got in the 1/4?? Will it be worth my time to fix it up and make it look nice. Oh ya it still has its original paint that is in really good shape!

        It's hard to give an estimate when you know practically nothing.

          Exactly. 450 gross horsepower is a lot less than 450 rear wheel horsepower. Also, there's no telling what it weighs.
