Thinking About Selling My Cars

I've been thinking about selling my 1970 Chevelle SS and my 02 Camaro SS 35th Ann. LE and getting into a specially built 5th Gen.
I've been tossing this idea around for some time. I've owned Chevelle's for 25 years and a few Camaro's as well. I'm thinking about buying a new 5th gen and having a custom build done by one of the big names in the performance world. It would be something that would rival the ZL1 in power and I could just get in it and drive where ever I wanted to go comfortably.
Looking forward to a new adventure!

Sounds like a plan! What shops do you have in mind to do the build?

Keep that Chevelle! Try to make it work with only selling the older Camaro.

Just my opinion.

Just my opinion, but why not just get a loaded ZL1.

Good move to step inside a 5 th generation.

Would it not be wiser just to buy the ZL1 since it has the power plant and everything else needed to handle it.

Aerodynamics, brakes, suspension...etc..

Educate me please ....would any aftermarket company be able to match GM price with available options currently the ZL1 has?

Keep the 70 Chevelle but sell the 02 Camaro. Go straight to the ZL1 you wont have to do anything else to do but smile. My 2 cents.

My vote would be to keep the chevelle and go with a 1LE custom build. Pro charge the 1LE.
