Saw a pic of this Chevelle.Kind of the same look I guess your going for,with your car.Even though it's a different car.

Man when I get my Missink Link 73 it may become this car!!

Yea it is a very cool computer rendering of the car.A friend of mine is trying to restore a 75 Chevelle Laguna S3.

I didn’t even know the big Olds SSII wheels were made until after the other wheels were on it. I saw the Olds wheels and said”Now that is exactly the look I’m after .”

Where did you find these?

Heck where did you come across the car too?

Steve Zimmerman made the wheels. He’s on Facebook. He makes a lot of cool wheels 

The car is an out of production resin from Scale Equipment.

These Colonnade models never got the respect when new. I like the Hurst Olds you're building and the '73 Chevelle SS looks good also.

Growing up in the seventies these were slow heavy and cheaply built. And had huge bumpers. But today they grow on me every day.

This is cool. Looks like you need the right nose though. That car was way ahead of its time for American cars. What else could be a four door performance car with floor shift and buckets in 73?

Nose was gone and rather than shell out $1500 for a Motorealm replacement, I put a 75 Grand Lemans nose on.  It will do for now. Buckets, console 400 4 bbl, all options and two extra doors. I bought it to modify. I had a 73 2 door low mile car that had 4 owners but I could not bear to modify it so someone offered me silly money and I took it. This is fun and I can drive it anywhere with no worries.
