As was normal with Dave the cool 150 in the picture wasn't your run of the mill 150. It was a business coupe, radio and heater delete and all correct dual four barrel 270 horse engine. He restored this car for Johnny Drake. He and I owned one together exactly like this car only with fuel injection. I can't see the rear quarter panels to tell if the fuel emblems were on it so judging from Dave's apparent age at this time it has to be the Johnny drake 2x4 car. Most restoration shops concentrate on Tri fives or Camaro or Chevelles or at least only on a certain manufacturer but he was always amazing us with rare cars of all makes and years.
Just to name a few was numerous copo Camaro, chevelles, yenkos, the yellow Smokey Yunick hemi head 302 Z/28, Zl1s, hemi super birds, thunderbolts, the hemi cuda convertible that sold for 3.5 mil, even a javelin. He was a one stop shop and the best part was he was the fastest shop I have ever known.
