Unless you have the disposable income to restore it, sell it if you can make a profit on it without giving it away and let the next owner burn his wallet on it.

Neither. Drive as is and be happy. They’re only like this once

I wouldn’t restore it , it’s got money pit written all over it . I would drive it as is for a while, get some enjoyment out of it, and sell it later on .

You could consider a mechanical restoration depending on cost. The body and interior look decent. No need to restore it in to a show car to make it enjoyable.

The 1970 Chevelle is one of the most sought after cars in the hobby. I assure you, someone will restore that car. Maybe not you, but someone will. That is a very desirable car.

Get her running and drive her. Or sell her.
There’s very few plain jain chevelles around any more, their neat to see, you’ll get plenty of attention as is.
But i wouldn’t restore her, 95% of the time it’s cheaper to buy a already done car than it is to restore one. Even doing the work yourself. So u less it’s sentimental, rare or you want something built a very specific way it’s usually not worth it to restore money wise. Now restoring it yourself because you enjoy it can be worthwhile, but there’s alot of dudes with projects they never finish that thought the same.

Restore with purple paint 😎

Drive it as is. Wait for an offer you can’t refuse. One day, you will regret selling it, though.

I’d get it running, rebuild the brakes, buff the paint and drive it as is. It’s a nice original machine with a good patina.

I’d clean that up and drive it as is. Keep it protected to prevent further deterioration. Nice ride.
