This is what I was working on today.. Setting the valves and adjusting the carb. Original owner (my uncle) car, early 90s restoration. My father actually rebuilt the engine back then and I am the only other person to work on the car besides my father and uncle. Super clean and well documented car. Interesting story behind the car; he traded in a Marina Blue 67 SS Chevelle and had originally ordered a Fathom Green 69 SS Chevelle but the dealer got in this Garnet Red car from another dealer and he had them add power steering at the dealer and took it home. Car has also been in Chuck Hanson's ACES magazine as well. Just thought I would share.

Nice looking Chevelle. It must be cool to be the only other person to work on the engine besides your father and uncle. Cool story. Thanks for sharing.

Darrell,

Does your uncle own the Chevelle or are you the proud owner? What is your uncle`s name? Is he attending the NOCC Chevelle Regional Show the following weekend in Ohio? If not, please consider it....I am personally inviting you and your uncle to attending this spectacular event.

60 - 1969 Chevelles are attending.....please be #61 <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

No my uncle is still the owner. I appreciate the invite but unfortunately he already has plans this weekend. His name is Archie Cook, again thank you for the invitation.
