My pleasure Joe.
Joe mentioned that the door was left ajar, so don't think he's playing with aeordymanics.....



If you have any pics that you want to share Joe, just send them and I'll do the same thing.

What the hell is with you guys??????? Senator what's his name and a beat up nova get more attention then an ORIGINAL OWNER MOTION PHASE III CAR that's finally out and on the road after 13 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????
I'm sorry for the hot poker guys, but I just don't understand it! Joe is one of those "salt of the earth" guys who bought that magnificent car when he was barely out of his teens, and STILL OWNS it!!!!! Why can't more people realize how special that is??? Maybe I'm just on a different plane, because I still own the car I bought when I was 17. I guess it's a feeling that only a very few can relate to.

And I apologize to Joe for calling attention to him without him knowing. This rant is none of his doing. It's just me being me.

Would someone kindly post a list of every original owner of a MOTION car who STILL owns the car???? Think about that for a bit, and maybe my point will sink in a little. Joe is a laid back kind of guy who never draws attention to himself, but I happen to believe attention is due. He's not some jerk who hacked up the car and threw it away. He's spent untold time and effort to bring that car back to the way it was when he took delivery from Joel Rosen. and if I know Joe, he'll own it every day he's alive! Stop and think about this..................EVERY DAY of the history of his car is known. That might take a little time to really sink in.

Sorry Joe, I just HAD to to do this..... Please don't be upset with me. You and your Chevelle deserve a special place in Supercar history as far as I'm concerned, but then, who the H am I??

I think I get your point Verne. And a good one at that. Should have known this was a special one. Well, now that you have illuminated us dense ones, how bout the skinny on this beast? Wasn't this featured here before? Can't seem to find it. O.K. let us have it!!!!

[JoeG]

OH BOY----Verne thanks for your enthusiam. Yes the car was featured before . I missed a deadline to get some photos of an Original owner car to Hemmings---I had said in a previous post I was working on getting the photos out.Well I missed the deadline, but I'm still working on the car so I posted updated photos --no more no less.--And Rick you'd better not post that little popcorn eating guy.....Joe

I have been poking JoeG for awhile now about this,and although some may call him lax,I know see this is how he rolls.
I would suspect that when JoeG submits his cars pics,story & details to Hemmings Muscle Machines,George Mattar will NOT put him in with the few other Original car owners segment,but Feature JoeG seperately with his own 6 page Feature story.
And rightly so..

I agree. Joe has to be one of the nicest (and funniest guys) that I've not met yet! I'm sure that Hemmings will be all over "his story" (i.e. history).

I think that I was one of the guys that was prodding Joe to send his pics to Hemmings. Joe...I can wait. It will be cool to see it featured.

Verne...please put away the viagra...LOL

As good as it gets
Now all we need is intro to Sweet Jane (Lou Reed) for the debut!

Now that is what I'm talking about. What a wonderful piece of machinery. Oh, the poor unsuspecting drivers with 427s, 426s, 440s, 454s, etc, who noticed the "396" badge and probably dismissed it . Joe, would you please provide a couple shots of underhood, undercarriage (rear suspension set-up), and interior?

Thanks

VERNE !!! Maybe people haven't commented on it because they didn't bother to check a thread about Groundhogs. I finally read the thread after I was told about your angry post.

It's a awsome car and I hope it is getting dusted off in order to come to the reunion.
