I'll give a buck for the dealer emblem on the trunklid. Provided its a local one.

as a matter of fact, I will give 5.00 for the whole trunk lid..

"...that nameplate is from the now defunct Elliot Brothers Chev dealer in Woodstock..."

Careful around any Elliotts when spelling it w/ one T Todd..
Elliott family legend is that the single T people were horse thieves and the second T was legally taken from their name so everyone could tell the difference between them and the good Elliotts...seriously!.

As you say, the '70 is probably best as a donor car for the chassis and other parts..
If it can help fix one or more Canadian Pontiacs, all the better!.

I like that car. It is a nice 4dr. Hardtop and I can't recall seeing a 70 like this at any cruise in the past 5 years. Do you guys really think it's only future is as a parts car?

It could be a nice car with a little effort-. Carpet, package tray, seat covers and a good clean up of the dash would bring the interior back to life. I'd say $1-1500 there if you do the work yourself. Body and paint- well you guys know what that costs even without rust issues..There is also bubbling under the vinyl top and a back window that has been sealed with silicone.  An engine-depends if you have one kicking around. I believe the owner said it was safety checked about 3 years ago. He drove the car to Vermont a couple of times. You could probably have a nice cruiser for about 8k depending on what you did yourself. The owner has zero mechanical knowledge and Canadian tire has had their mitts on the engine. He said he had a "new cylinder" (piston? head? who knows) that cost him 2 grand at CTC a couple of years ago. I would assume whatever they did led to the recent destruction of the engine. Rear tires were new last winter.
It would be a sharp car in fresh blue with rally wheels and redlines!

Where is this one located?

That 70 Impala went by my house today on a trailer , a Chevy truck haulin it. So it must be sold. It was heading towards London.

I got this email from the owner:

"A fellow from Dorchester showed up with a trailer and 750 cash this afternoon so shes gone.

Thanks for your interest."

I replied that I was glad he got what he wanted for it. We just might see it at a cruise night next year.

And a new lease on life! Keep them alive.
