Default Chicago area Chevelle

Does anyone remember a '70 ls6 Chevelle that was forest green,white stripes,black vinyl top,black bench seat, 4 speed that was around the Des Plaines area back in the 70's? Was bought new at Celozzi-Ettelson in Elmhurst, driven by a guy last name of Hartman who worked at a speed shop in Broadview I believe, guy had a trach in his throat.He sold it to a guy named Dave Topak in 1980. Any tips would be appreciated!!!!!

Actually John P (ssl78) and Belair are from that area and might have a better idea. Rob FYI. The speed shop in Broadview was Grand Automotive on Roosevelt Road.

If your looking for Dave Topak try this. Could be a family member. LaGrange Park is somewhat nearby Broadview.

I sure don't recall but Broadview may as well have been Alaska to me back then...

God forbid you should go South of North ave.

I frequented GRAND AUTOMOTIVE ALOT from 1979-1983.
We mostly used to go there during H.S. Lunch hour,&amp; buy stupid stuff.B&amp;M star shifters &amp; Shift Kits,Cal Custom foot pedals,steering wheel covers,Carb spacers,etc.
I never saw a guy in there w/a Trach in his throat.
I would've remembered that...

Darren, I bought the car from Dave at Super Chevy in Joliet back in 1999. At the time he had the build sheet sitting on the dash,it was stolen sometime during that day after I outbid 2 other guys on the car.As my luck would have it, it was the only copy found with the car and Dave did not have any copies of it... Dave told me who he bought it from, a guy named Tom Hartman, but I've not been able to find him as of yet to see if he as any info on the car.

Man that is really unfortunate.....the papers are really important these days...I hope everyone makes copies and put the original in a safe place...you hear of this more and more.

I agree 100%. Put those docs away (a safe is good!) and have color photo copies made for display. I still see orig docs displayed at shows. 'Spose they'd leave a 69 Camaro Hurst shifter or an NOS delco battery lying next to the car? Same thing...
