    Is it a hardtop or sedan (post)? If it is a hardtop it needs to be saved...

        4 doors are neat but I've always been a fan of wagons...

          i would do a fourdoor but it would have to be something that can pull off the unmarked cop cap look with wide steelies and poverty caps setup to handle.

            Um Yes... Very Yes!! There is a slight catch, some 4drs don't look proportioned right (I also think that some 2drs don't look proportioned right either). I want a Buick Special/Skylark 61-65 to daily drive. I've made no secret of wanting a Fox LTD. Buick and other full sized 4drs from the 60's are also awesome.

            I'm not sure I'd ever make more than a FAST type drag racer out of one but maybe something open road racer like with seats for the family.

                Spaceman, how did you do the yellow lenses? Did you buy them or color them with a marker of some sort? Bitchin' wagon, btw.

                          The Chevelle in question is a sedan. If it was a hardtop, I would have posted pics of it on it's way to my house. I think I'm going to pass on it.

                          I've always thought the '63 Fairlane looked good as a 4 door.

                                May be a generational thing-I graduated HS in 1970. No to 4 doors of muscle car era and no to flat paint.
