Pics of my very first Car/Chevelle

Postsedan · #1 05-23-2006, 04:13 AM

Well hear she is....I just pulled out my 1972 out of storage yesterday and thought I`d share these pictures with everyone. I have owned this Chevelle since 1978. I learned how to drive, race, get tickets, etc. with this car. Priceless memories.

The car has been through many changes...I`m amazed that I and the car have survived together with all the crazy times I have had behind the wheel.

Currently the car sits with it`s 1984 circa Lacquer Pearl White paint. All original body car...except Glass Hood and new front fenders in 1984.

I plan on finishing the restoration....Yeah I know...I`ve been saying that for over 20 years. The last time the car was registered was 1986. It`s been in storage for over 20 years...where did the time go? As you can see by the pictures, I built the car to race in what was then the all new NMCA Fastest Muscle Car Drags. But as we all have heard this one...."The project fell apart" I got married!

Perhaps I will re-paint the car back to it`s original color of Mohave Gold.

I welcome any idea`s from all members as to: "What type of Restoration would you give her" Color, wheels, resto-mod, etc.

Enjoy the pics.

Original plan still sounds good to me

I'd go modified and finish the dream of the chevelle that would beat the lil-red corvette with nos.(original is boring how many more unmodified cars can we see! Plus it will cost less to finish.)

Strat,

I already beat that Lil-Red Corvette last year with my 69 Post Sedan Chevelle... remember on the way to Jay`s barbeque, down North Ave. Let me guess, oh you forgot.

Dan,

Is "Strat" the guy that you guys talk about that has the drive in that you guys cruise to? If so, that's cool...a musclecar dude!
