Has anyone seen a Hugger Orange '70 SS-396?

Hey, a fellow Pittsburgher! I'm a bit east, used to live in Monroeville but I now reside in Murrysville. I own an '86 IROC, hence the name .

Hey Andy, welcome to the site. When I met my wife she was living in Murrysville on Himalaya Drive in the Shangrala development. She graduated from Gateway High. I have lived in Oakland, Shadyside (wrong side of the tracks), and Squirrel Hill. If your family's Chevelle came from the factory with A/C it was the 396/350HP version. Terrific vintage photos. Thanks!

I grew up in Shaler and am living in Gibsonia now. I have an 85 ROC. I always liked the third gen Z's. Good luck in your search. Does John Deveraux Jr. have anything to do with Deveraux Chevrolet? I think they are gone now too though. There is a Deveraux Motor sales in Freeport, PA. It might be worth a phone call.

Very cool pics of the Chevelle towing the Camaro. Who was the original dealer for the Camaro? Was the original color black or one of the other dark colors? It's a little hard to tell. I wish you good luck in find the Chevelle. It would be neat to get them both together again.

mr70, I looked closer at the record I have and it's actually a factory order written on a generic dealership sales order. It doesn't have RPO codes or anything, but "Factory Order" is written (very lightly) in the upper corner. My mom also recalls this being the order slip they gave to the dealer, so Bauman Chevrolet must have completed the formal order on their own. Knowing this, the February 9, 1970 signing probably indicates a March, 1970 factory build... so the VIN is B165352. Cool!

GaryH, I have an uncle in Gibsonia (about two miles back from the Route 8 Turnpike entrance). I'm not sure if Deveraux Chevrolet is linked to our Chevelle salesman or not. He was apparently a pretty young guy (very early twenties) when he sold the Chevelle to my parents, so it's possible that he could have made a life of it. I wonder if they'd have any records...

1967Z28, the '67 Camaro was purchased from Marhefka Chevrolet in Windber, PA. The color is actually Royal Plum, a dark (almost blackish) purple.

The chevy dealer in Windber is still there, it is called Gap chevrolet ( the original dealer sold Roger Ausleys red LS-6). What race track did they race at ?. I live 2 miles before the old Keystone Raceway in New Alexandria,Pa.

Interesting, I didn't know that about the Windber dealership. My dad raced at a bunch of tracks, Keystone being one of them. He also frequented the old Pittsburgh International Dragway (PID) and National Trail Raceway in Columbus, OH.

I've had my IROC up to Keystone (or should I say "Pittsburgh Raceway Park," haha) a few times over the past few years. They really did the place up nice.

Thanks for the info on the Camaro. That is really a very cool car. I found this picture of Bobby Marhefka in a 409 powered modified on the Jennerstown Speedway website. Gotta love those W motors.
