Frank & Rick
Mark also sent me some pics when the car was at an indoor show in Chicago somwehere around '71. Building looked like an old warehouse type building but very clean and huge. Lots of neat Camaros, Chevelles and '55-'57 Chevy's in the background. I will try to dig these out and post them as well.

Here are me and the boys headed for the Street Machine Nationals....'82. The '71RR, '70Z/28, and '69 Judge were daily transportation. The 3 Chevelles were already collector toys of which 2 remain with the same owners. Mine was a clone and I sold it as such in '84. It recently sold for $23K. The new owner tracked me down looking for documentation! WRONG! Document BEFORE you buy!

I posted these pics last year but lots of new viewers.
These are pics of a copo sitting in the original owners garage. Car bought new at Huebner Chevrolet in Carrolton Ohio. Car has about 60-70% original paint. Owners wife was a school teacher and drove the car to work in the early '70's. Check out the SW gauges, ET mags, L60 bias plys, headers. Car still has the '75-'76 Ohio plates when these pics were taken 3 years ago so you know the last time it's burned gas.
No, don't even ask the car is not for sale.

I'm only 29 and I have lived in the Dallas Texas area since 1983. I can remember going to wrecking yards with my dad and walking through rows and rows of Chevelles and Camaros.
The old car seen is just about wrapped up and the ones that are left have become to expensive to enjoy. I may see 10 Chevelles a month where I used to see 10 a day being driven.
I had to get my door for my 67 chevelle out of Missouri because I could'nt locate one in DFW area. I miss the late 80's street racing seen. Not a bunch of 4 cylinder motorcycles and cars, I'm talking big block Camaros Chevelles Novas. We used to street race behind Miller Brewery in Fort Worth Texas. Those were the days. Anybody remember fenders on Northwest hwy in Dallas. This was a local cruise spot where people would come hang out and then later go street racing. It seems like overnight the old cars became extinct. Guys nowadays are pulling out the killer engines and building museum pieces for some Kruse international show and tell. I still like Cragars and turbos and air shocks and no hoods and 50 stickers in the windows oh well I guess i can dream. wasn't around in the heyday but man i miss the late 80's early 90's. Every red light was a race waiting to happen. You could start out on the East side of 303 and by the time you got to Cooper st in Arlington you would have had as many races as you wanted. Nowadays you do that same stretch of road you'll get little dodge neons with 10 million watt speakers and gangster rap and if you look at them they want to fight. And the sad thing is the amount of people that are totally oblivious to the amount of power we have allowed our government to have over us. State inspections and phony emmissions standards have destroyed any chance of buying a 1980's or 90's Camaro and building a cool street car. I for one would love to build about an 88 silverado with a hot 454 and tubs but with all these Nazi inspections and sheep people allowing em I can't do it legally. But then again I'm in the state known for outlaws.

Not every kid is in to Ching Chang Chow cars with trash can mufflers. My 15 year old son and I just finished restoring his 68 RS/SS 396 Camaro. Not all hope is lost.

Well, hope may be lost if you let your 15 yr old son have a restored 68 BB Camaro. What are you thinking????

Not legal for a minor to buy a car. Hope you have a lot of influence on this young man. You must have signed for it or someone else did cause you gotta be 18 to legally buy a car.
