Default 1969 Chevelle

Hi guys.

I have posted this on a couple of other supercar boards .

Back in the 80's my brother had a friend with a 69 Chevelle . all our friends talked about it and the big thing was it was a factory 427/ 425 4speed car . I was in my teens and the car was like a god to me. not to bore you.

here is a photo of the car it was in Toronto , WILLOWDALE area. I have done some basic searching on and off but have come up with nothing yet.
He ran the car at Cayuga regularly, had it in one of the Motion car shows in the mid eighties. and had it at the Car Craft street machine nationals that same time.
Any suggestions as to how to do a search for the car or Pete who was the owner. any help would be great.

Thaks for your replys.

This is not Alberts car , I saw his on Detroithosrepower and thought it was this car but after talking to him he said his car had not come out of Canada. yes it is Fathom green. my friend had it re-pinted back them , I do not remember if that was the original color.

That plate was custom PWC, his initials 427 motor obviously. I don't know where it was sold from but he did get it from the original owner I remember .
All I have on the car is the 5 photos and what I remember of it and what our friend remember. plus the old plate as you can see. and somewhere I have the address where he used to live back then.

Innisfil Ontario is about 1 hour north of Toronto and 15 minutes south of Barrie.
how old an issue was the do you remember.

If you guys could maybe show that photo around I would appreciate it greatly.I can put up the other photos and fill in a few more items.

thanks for your time

The car had kept the original motor in it for some time. I remember the first time he opened the hood , that chrome air cleaner and valve covers aluminum intake, he added headers. it spoke to me , you know what I mean.

To this day that car has left a lasting impression on me.

in the late 80's the car was running a 454 with an automatic . at the time he was keeping all that he removed from the car.
the car had wood wheel, bucket seats, SS hood, rear mount antenna. I don,t remember much more , I wish back then in my early teens vin numbers and other items were a concern.all I new then was it went like hell and I wanted it.





thanks again

Well after years of on and off searching. I have a lead to this car. The brother of the owner.

The person I chatted with believes Pete still has this car.
Weather he does or not I hope to determine what the car was/is.

Funny how things happen. Right place. Right time
