LOL!! All Chevelles "handle" like shit. Unless you do a full build on one with modern suspension components. But if you like them for the "hotrod" feel who cares what it handles like in anything but a straight line. They never came with a 302, not that you couldn't put one in. But that is alot of car for a 302. A good friend of mine used to have a '70 SS that I built small blocks for use as a street car and weekend bracket racer. Then one year he ordered up a 540 for it. Not THAT was the ticket.

Cuz a lot of people will probably be nostalgic for it. I think it needs a completely custom body and interior for that price though.

I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to the older Jap cars, but there is something about the 240Z that just does it for me. I know a couple people in this area with built 240Z's and they are just cool, and get tons of looks.

Darius 240Z, used to have stunt vids and this 240. Think its a sharp example of a built 240

Still looks like a dumpy old econobox to me It may be fast and handle well, but so would a used Mazdaspeed 3, and that would have air conditioning.
