Default Untouched SYC Chevelle in Dec OLD CARS PRICE GUIDE

A friend of mine got his Dec '04 copy of Krause Publications' OLD CARS PRICE GUIDE. Looks like they're doing like Hemmings and adding features to sell more issues. Anyway, the front is loaded with features, including a pretty extensive pictorial on a LeMans Blue SYC Chevelle that was about to go into the restoration shop. The car is a low mileage untouched survivor, complete with smog and everything. Current owner is in Minnesota (sorry I can't remember his name) and its got a little too much edge to it so he's having RPM Restoration in Lino Lakes, MN do it up. At any rate, a lot of good reference pics for you Chevelle owners out there.
Speaking of Minnesota, RPM, and musclecars, also featured in the issue is a '69 M-code (440 4bbl) Dart GTS owned by Wayne Klemz and restored at RPM. This car has gotten a fair amount of ink lately, but what makes it special to me is that I'm about 90% sure that this is my uncle's old car. My family is from the same area, and when I contacted Mr. Klemz last summer, most of the info matched up (cut for fenderwell headers, lift off fiberglass hood, no tail stripe originally, etc). I also found out Mr. Klemz grew up a block from my Mom, and went to school with her and my Dad. Small world.
