1969 Chevelle Build

Here are some not so great photos, early ones with Cragar - SS wheels on the street. Front and rear shots changing over to drag car. This was a 250 c.i 300 deluxe model when I purchased it for $150 back in 1979. Color is a 1977 Ford.

Groovin' on the green interior!

I dig your old pics from back in the day Larry. Man...if I could still buy muscle cars, or any car that isn't completely rusted away for $150, I would have a 'real' problem on my hands keeping them going.

Thanks Charlie. This car was originally the baby poop light green color, so with the interior it was that green everywhere. In a couple of years we are going to do a repaint on it and I am pushing for going back to a metallic version of that lighter green.

Andy is my "baby" boy. We're both excited about this father/son project. I verified the VIN and the car was a 300 V-8 built in KC. Interesting, because I grew up in KC before I came to Michigan to attend college with the likes of John Nechiporchik. I've added recognition to the history of the car on the decklid.
