Race cars gone what to do with the Belvedere

Hello everyone

Well I sold the race car alittle burnout about having just a drag only car.

Well It didn't take long but I turned around and bought a 67 Belvedere with a 318 and air conditioning I'm wanting to turn it in to a street strip car maybe do some nostalgic super stock racing.

Wrong year Belvedere...
That looks like a decent piece to start with...don't go overboard...

All of the 65 Belvedere is locked in a cave begging for sunlight.

Great choice and good plan. Looks like a nice car. Have fun!

Cut up an original Silver Special 67 Belvedere to build a race car? Not these days! That is a desirable car in stock form, I'd leave it alone or give it a restoration. .02

That looks like a great car to perk up. I don't imagine it's too much fun to drive as is.

No not a all out race car. Just add some go fast parts and have fun.


I don't have any attachments to the car so might sell and buy something else

Yep, I know the car.

Your only dead one time and the money, well your only dead once!

Have fun as you see fit!

I think it's a great race car..........

Nice choice! How much did you pay for it? It looks great.

10k

I'd drive the snot out of it just like it is .

Im thinking a 66 or 67 Belvedere will be my next garage victim for myself.
I dont need all out fast, I want a nice driver with A/C

If I may ask, where did you find it? 10K sounds like a really good buy for a what appears to be a pretty decent looking car.
AKA, right up my ally

I found the ad here on moparts but the car was only about 2hrs from me in Ohio

It's for sale if you want it

shoot me a pm with details.
Im not sure Im ready to get serious on a car search just yet . But one never knows I might bite.

Well I decided to try and sell the car first before I go ahead and start modify it into a street strip type car it's way too nice

Well didn't sell the car but here it is with mini tubs and Cal trac susp

Good job, that looks much better.

Thanks... now time to start figuring out what motor too build

You keeping the stock interior etc? That would look cool I think.

Looks great. Love the mini tub look and stance. Stock interior would be great looking in it.

Yes I'm hoping the back seat will fit back in there haven't made up my mind about the front bench seat though but for now I'll keep it , unless I run across a deal on a couple of A100 seats

Very nice!

Looks good, totally changes the look!

That's what the car needed..

Looks tough

While I was at the shop yesterday I noticed that the front bench seat has 3 holes in the bottom of the tracks I'm hoping I can use the first hole to get the seat to set back a little more from the steering wheel

Thanks everyone for your compliments

I finally got Bella home tidy up and back on the road after the Cal tracs and mini tubbed with new D60 from Moser now too find some wheels and tires for the back of her

Yep I was able to keep the back seats with a little trimming

Nice Job...Much better stance...
Now...what to do about that 318...

Looking at lowdeck stroker kits now don't know if I want a 470 or 512

I have a 400 long block pulled from a 76 Fury that had a cop car package...You'd have to come get it...and bring lots of Benjamin's...
727 trans too out of the same car...up to you...

Bought some more rear shoes for the car to sit for the winter

I wish my phone would take some pictures anyway 318 is out 440 is now sitting in it's place, now have to hook everything up and get back to enjoying driving the car

Engine swap is done now time to get back to enjoying driving it

Getting to like the silver more now since buying my 66. What size tires, what gear in the dana?

Dear tires are 28-10.5 with 15x10 rims the gears are 4-30's

Thanks

Big block now with 430's and a Dana...nice...

Pretty soon it will be fast enough to play with a little small block Gold A Body...

So now for the $64,000.00 question...How soon till you sell it to get something else?

Hello how are you stranger ...... I'm enjoying the car too much for that to happen maybe upgrade to a gen 3 with OD before and get rid of the 4-30's would be future plans

With the down time we are having right now I changed out the 906 heads that had a oversized header bolt hole and put on a fresh set of 516 heads and downsize my headers to a smaller size, started out with hooker super comps exhaust system is 3 inch to the rear axle seat of the pants it feels peppier
