Bill Wente 1967 Chevelle SS Convert

[Steve Shauger]

This hobby has been extremely rewarding, and meeting and becoming friends with Bill has been an honor. The passion he show after 50 years of collecting and restoring cars is absolutely amazing. A true enthusiast willing to help any and everyone. His persistence and attention has paid off over the years and most recently @ MCACN where his 67 Chevelle achieved a remarkable score of 998 of 1000.Known on the site as 67since67... Congratulations!!!!

I am also one that is honored to have Bill as a good friend. As stated before, this car, and Bill's other cars are outstanding, excellent examples of both restored and survivor cars are in his collection. Bill is one of the people who makes our lifestyle (hobby) more rewarding by just knowing him. Congrats on the coverage of you car, well deserved..... it truly is a stunning car and color combination.

[Xplantdad]

Terry, welcome to the board. We'll be doing some members rides on Bill's cars...coming up.

Awesome car and an even better owner! We are honored to have Bill as a long time supporter of what we do at MCACN. Bill has shown numerous cars with us over the years and each and every one of them is outstanding.

Congrats...and thanks for the continued support not only of MCACN, but the hobby.

What were the 2 points docked for??

Repro tires and battery topper.

When the judges handed me the score sheets to sign I said "That's all??!" I was as surprised (shocked may be a better word!!) as anyone!!

Congrats Bill, that is a fantastic restoration. I hope you bring the Chevelle to the Carolina show this fall.

Take care
