Where did you get that 67 SS Chevelle?!? It appears identical to what I had bought new at Doc Stewart Chev in Clovis NM. The one I had was a 4 speed and included a white stripe package on the lower side body work, also it had add-on under dash A/C. Traded it for a station wagon just before returning to Vietnam in late 67'. TAZ

Hey TAZ, I doubt it was the same car, although it was rust free and may have come from the West. I got it fairly close to were I was raised on the East side of Cincy. It had those Sun 2 5/8 all around the column (4 or 5). Had to sell something when I got married in '82. The 2 Camaros I kept were very original and the Chevelle was not so much, but it looked the nicest, so it brought the most. Sure miss it though. Love 67 chevelles and 69 Camaros. By the way, both cars are 4 speed cars. I think I have a recent pic of the Chevelle I will dig up. Sold it to a close friend who kept it all these years. It is Marina Blue now and hot rodded.

Here is same Chevelle last fall at car show. Sorry, not trying to hi-jack thread.

Agree with you -- I miss the 67' also. But I had to do what I had to do -- dropped my wife and baby off in Wisconsin before heading back across the pond. Did not what to leave the 67' in the hands of my younger brother -- probably would not have turned out good.

That blue SS looks pretty damn nice!!

1970 Nova. Friend of my fathers car, circa 1975. Had a LT1, bench seat 4-speed, 3.73. Pie crust slicks on black rallys. Love the look, same paint design on the trunk. Always wanted to build a clone of this car!

Was there a little 'Snoopy' painted on the quarter panels, back by the marker lights?

Not that I can see. We've actually had this conversation many years ago, I don't believe it's that car. Everybody referred to this car as "the yenko", but I've never seen any indication of it, other than the driveline combo.

Ok, just covering my bases! Looks like body side molding and a custom rear panel as well as a NOVA emblem on the trunk lid - likely not the car I was hoping for. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]
