The people that know me here know i like my Chevelles.
I will post my Favourites i photographed at my first MCACN last week.
I have many more photos but i will post what i liked the best.
My best of show pick for the chevelle's was the first Black LS6 in that 8 car line up.
It had the original interior and trunk on a partially restored 6000 mile beauty.
Hey MCACN had no Triple Black LS6's, i may have to bring mine next year [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
Also there was no 70 Challenger R/T S.E. in the house [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

These are the Survivors.
1965 Z16 396/375 hp and Dennis Cumby's 1970 Motor on his LS6.
We have seen photos of Dennis's car before so i posted a lot of his motor.
Hey Dennis, What is the Story/History behind the Broken Exhaust ear Tab??

Here is the Rarest 1970 Chevelle an L78/L89 Aluminum Head SS 396. They only built 18 of these rare cars!!

Also the other Chevelles that caught my eyes.

Not much of a 'story' Danny. We'd do almost anything to save a few ounces of front-end weight back then. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

The manifold ear was cracked when I tool delivery in June of '70. Eventually it worked its way looser until I finally removed it and put it in the glove box. It was there for years and just recently went into hiding. (Maybe it'll turn up again someday. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img] )
Just another case of the 'Quality Control' we experienced in the heyday of Muscle Cars. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Cool Story Dennis,
A factory over torque!
I came by your car a few times and you were never to be found as i wanted to ask you in person but i guess you were making your rounds chating and looking about.
Hey at least i caught you on Friday night!
What a great Weekend i had [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
Forgot to mention that i added a new scratch on your fender taking that photo [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img] Just kidding

Hopefully you were able to meet Randy and Nancy Fricke while at the show. Really good people and now added to our list of customers turned friends. Couldn't ask for nicer caretakers of the car.

I seem to recall one in the car corral. I think it had a twin turbo 540 in it.

There was one parked next to a green 69 Charger.. Not sure if this was the car corral or not.. I saw the passenger side of it in a picture that kwizz posted on another thread.. I was just curious about the car.. If it had a 540 twin turbo engine it is not the car I am thinking of.. Thanks...
