Last Saturday I was bringing my girl back from a band concert and we came acrost this car. I stopped off to look at it and see if the owner knew about the club. He said no and was wanting to unload this car. I asked how much and he said $400. I had to go to the bank and get the money but they were closed. So monday morning I called and told him I would bring half past and the rest when I came and got it. Well today I got it. The kids have named it the Nuclear Banana

Its like the thing sat and is rusting on the top side. It was getting dark but the center and floor dont look to bad. Once the 928 is apart this one will go uo on the dolly for a thourogh exam.

Hmmm. Looks like Lagoon Blue in the fender well. What year did you say this car was? (I forgot what you said in the other post)

I like it!! The work it needs isnt that much. Lose the rear deck and spoiler, the spoiler doesnt look right on a Chalon anyway. Repaint it yellow and put a Boxster S sticker on the rear deck lid. Hehehe. Drop the V8 in it and go blow some Carerra's away.

I'm gonna say the same thing to you that I said a while back to Craig. I hate you.
Great find. If you decide to dump the seats & door panels, lemme know. They'd go great in the wide flared monster I've got.

Its a 71 and it was blue at one time, at least the engine compartment was. Ill get the vin on the list this weekend Im working a double shifts next couple of days.

Well, Larry, If it were mine, I would fix the dents, repaint it yellow, paint the trim black, by trim, I mean the rockers, trim on the bumpers, the flex looking things on the bumper sides, and all the chrome mouldings and door handles. Kind of a Bumblebee Chalon. I think it would look awesome that way. I would also strip and POR15 the undercarraige and paint it black as well including the fenderwells. Call it Mellow Yellow!

great find!...the rims alone are worth more than that!

Posted by: seanery Dec 15 2004, 09:57 PM

Damn,
Larry's getting quite a collection!!!

Posted by: dinomium Dec 15 2004, 10:04 PM

Great find, and I think it NEEDS A WING!!!!
Just happen to have one for sale too!

btw that child is BIG

Posted by: skline Dec 16 2004, 02:10 AM

Lets see the wing, I bought one on Ebay a long time ago and the guy never sent it. It was painted yellow and the picture he had it was still on the car. I am looking for a specific wing. The regular spoilers dont look right on the Chalon. But there is one out there that would not look too bad. Post a picture!!! Please

AIN'T THAT A BITCH!!

I PAID $2600 FOR....(ooops, don't want to wake-up the wife and kids)....I paid $2600 for a car that's in worse shape than that (rustwise)!

And I'd get that kid of your's smokin' cigarettes as soon as possible to stunt his growth a little...........he'd probably kick my 17yr. olds ass!



Seriously....Great find!!
