Yes that was the Chevelle it was done by Resto Rods off 99.

That would look good in my garage, I could be like Zeke and start a black car collection.

So you gonna be like Rey and sell the Chevelle then (the opposite of what the masses suggest?)



I'll never sell the Chevelle, most of my friends have told me to sell it at one time or another. I told them all to F.O. They've come and gone and the Chevelle is still with me and just gaining worth as time goes on. I've had it 25 years so far.

If I could do it all over again..........but I was 18-19 and it was my DD and I was commuting 45 miles one way to work.......too much $$ and it was starting to break down regularly......I even managed to demolish a M-22 RockCrusher and that was with never racing it.

I am always on the lookout for a replacement.

It's not intentional, just the way things work out.

You demolished a Rock Crusher? And you don't want ME to drive YOUR car?? Now that's a laugh riot.

90% of the teeth in 2nd & 3rd were sheared off and 1st wasn't looking so hot either. But the rear end was fine.

I was also only 18 or 19 when that happened.

Chevelle, to help you out what line lock do you have, I'm interested lol. Tough to beat old school in my opinion. You could make the chevelle a wicked track car and have the formy for the open road. This was the ultimate factor in my decision not to trade for a 69 road runner. I wanted a car that had better auto-x characteristics for a DD. If I could have owned them both the RR would have been the track car and the camaro the street car. They are light years apart in handling and braking.
