That hood is one of a kind.
I dont have any storys to tell abou it. </div></div>

Jimbo,
I was hoping to find someone in the Detroit area that might remember the car street racing. Like you say, the hood is 1-of-a-kind.
Could you say where they street raced it exactly as it might help me track down a previous owner? PM me if you don't want to let on where that was. </div></div>
All I remember is the hood cut out. Dont even remember what the purpose was.
Could have seen the car a couple places. French Rd or Outer Drive on the East side. Possibly Telegraph, that would be the West side.
Basically nothing is all I got. Sorry.

Maybe post on YellowBullet or Milan Dragway forum.Someone will know the car. </div></div>

Thanks, I'll check out those forums. Do you remember if the car was blue at that time, or yellow or red? It was all those colors along the way.

Rick,
I was born and raised on the street racing scene in Detroit and I have never seen this car before. I did have a pretty extensive conversation with the kid u bought it from and ha said that it was indeed raced on the streets of Detroit. I do have a few Freinds that live in Detroit that all the know is street racing I will print a copy of your car and go knocking on some doors. Maybe I can spoke up a skunk or two.

Hi ohhawk,

I think I remember some information about this car on team Chevelle, in case you are looking to purchase.

Is it originally Garnet Red? </div></div>

Yes, factory code 52, Garnet red. </div></div>

Code 52 is by far the best color found on 69 Chevelles.

Very cool to find a post sedan in 52

No, not interested in purchasing but was interested to learn a bit more about this model. Understand what lack of paperwork and matching #s means to the value proposition but beyond that what about this car shows it to be a clone?

Helmut,
The pics make the body look better than it actually is. It has been repainted at sometime and had rust repair before also.

I guess its the patina that caught my eye. That car will get a lot of attention with a bigger mill under the hood.
