I use to got to the ice cream parlor in this car as a young kid at that time it was black! Could have bought it around 1993 for $3500 but was way to big of a project for me at that time.

Was repainted black and raced.

----Was this the early Chevelle that Dennis Tracy had for sale for so long???...….Bill S

Bill yes it was! He bought it from the family that bought it very early and raced it! At one time Ram chargers built a 396 for the car.

Bill....….is there ANYONE you do not know or a car as well? LMAO! You seem to know everyone. You must have a phenomenal memory! :)

You beat me to it, Rick! :)

Having a hard time swallowing the price - probably an attention getter (hopefully). Judging from description and photo of it in black back in its racing days, it is doubtful the original drive train remains. Original body panels most likely not all there. Column shift, LoPo (by ‘70 Chevelle SS standards) with other issues doesn’t quite add up to $390K in my mind.

It's got a '72 dash in it, "fasten seat belt" light.
