Any chance this Chevelle is covered in dust sitting in a barn :biggthumpup:

"Transplant 427" - VIN shared VIA link. (https://www.chevelles.com/forums/15-tag-team/230640-1969-chevelle-136379k406128-silver.html)
Associated paperwork from Bill Allen, Harrell ad (Boemler listed) and Boemler ad (Harrell "427" Chevelle listed) . . .
I recently tracked down the original owner of this Chevelle (Ron T) who lived in Mehlville, Mo back in the day, he bought it on May 21, 1969, L78/TH400, may have had aluminum heads. Sorry to say, Ron passed away two days after I tracked him down. His brother remembered a race related accident a few months after Ron bought the car - title was transferred to an insurance company soon afterwards. Most likely sold by the insurance company to a local salvage yard. I believe (based on his brothers comments) Ron bought it new via Boemler Chevrolet in Arnold Mo.
Who knows, maybe it's hiding in a barn around the St Louis area . . .
Good hunting & kind regards,
