Thumbs up My Chevelle makes cover

Rick Jensen, former Editor at GM High Tech, recently relocated to sunny Florida to become the Editor at Auto Trader Classics magazine. He was scrounging around for stock appearing musclecars, so I volunteered my 1970 Chevelle SS 454 and did a photo shoot of it. Glad to see it made the cover! If you see this magazine on the news stand, now you know who's car it is



Here is a high-res shot that wasn't used. Perfect for screen backgrounds:

It looks great, Tony.

What I'm more confused about it the silver '05 C6 for $35k. You can get an 08 for less than 40.
