Default 67 L78 Chevelle triple black survivor !!!

After 2+ months of effort and dickering, I am happy to report that this car is now in my garage! As-found pics, and one tonight of it sitting in my garage! More info and pics to follow tomorrow, but here's a summary:

- One family owned from 1967 to 2017. Parked inside in 1980 and not moved until two months ago.
- 57K actual miles
- Mostly original black paint
- Original black vinyl top
- Original black interior
- Original drivetrain, never out of car -- L78, M21, 3.73 posi
- Original exhaust system -- ALL of it -- and it's in good condition!!
- Original shocks
- Original spare tire
- Factory options -- Bumper guards, tinted glass, buckets, console, deluxe belts, AM radio w/ rear speaker, factory floor mats, F40 suspension. Original owner added a wood steering wheel.
- Dealer invoice, POP, and every NC annual inspection receipt verifying mileage from new until the last inspection in 1980.

The gentleman who bought the car a little over 2 months ago was going to do a full frame off. But it will be preserved now!

Many, many thanks to Terry Davis (Terry Davis Body and Paint, Wytheville VA) for alerting me to this car when he heard about it!!

How do you guys do it? That would be a dream come true for me. There are very few cars that I love as much as a '67 Chevelle with a big block and a 4 speed. This one is so great that I would be sleeping next to it in the garage.
