Well said Chuck. Not everybody needs a fully restored car either. I personally enjoy driving ratty unrestored cars more than restored ones. More conversations are started and you don't have to worry about where you park or if your butt is dirty when you get in.

I'm beginning to like this conversation. Points well made Chuck and Jason!

The joy is taking this car in this condition, taking time lapse photos and video of the restoration process and looking at the final project and feeling the pride of restoring a car of your dreams or of your past. This car will look awesome when it's done!

Agree Chuck - I'm one who would prefer to know what the car started as, what goes into it and who does the work. Why I'm upside down on most of my cars [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Thank you and SO true. Many times I argue with customers over this. I usually wait till they are about done arguing and then comment on the $70k Ford F450 dually they drove to the shop that likely depreciated by about $2000 in value just in the time it was sitting here. The point usually gets taken.

Beautiful elco do u know if that was a real L79?I see alot of things under the hood that make me think it is a dressed up 275 hp car!!!

Re: Barn find 67 l79 chevelle fact a/c rare!!!
 

I can just see the car restored. Black/black with that gold interior. (Discs?) Stock wheels with dogs or wheelcovers, pinner whitewalls. Nice L79 sound through the Gardner dual pipes. Nice change from all the SS396s out there.
