I think those are enough, right? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img] I'm out of room. Need to sell my `70 drag car. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]

I think that is more than enough, I have free storage options for special 69 Chevelles. (Need keys to start monthly for lubrication......)

What a Great Collection. (You have great taste)

Garnet Red is a great color on a 69 Chevelle.
In the late 80's I paid 2k for a 69 SS 396 4spd faded white with a black vroof motor apart in the trunk and the muncie hung with a piece of baling wire from the firewall. Didn't think anything about checking to figure the original color (I could have cared less as I would paint them whatever color I wanted back then) When I looked up the cowl tag numbers I learned it was originally Garnet Red... I thought who would ever paint a factory Garnet Red car white?

I painted it Garnet with the black roof and black bench, it was beautiful! I wish I could have them all back!

Of course, keys to be left strictly to help lubrication.........wink, wink...nod, nod
Gotta love them `69's!

Best way to keep them lubricated is short bursts of approx 1320 feet at max rpm.

I have my 1969 Chevelle Babysitters Certificate. I am however having a hard time getting you any positive references, my grandmother is still mad at me for driving her car &quot;like a crazy baffoon&quot;. (when I was about 16.5 years old mind you.)

I've been asking about my car over at Yellowbullet.com, and have had a couple guys remember the car.

Here's one response.
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I need to ask a couple of questions..............

1.) Does the roll bar only have the hoop, rear bars and one door bar ?

2.) The rear suspension, does it have the upper and lower control arms removed and the old style Lakewood ladder bars welded in place ?

The reason I ask is there were a couple of Good Ole boys that brought us a 1969 Chevelle back in the mid nineties and we built them a 540, for the life of me can't remember the guys name, but his brother was in a wheelchair with a bullet lodged in his spine. They street raced this thing down by the Detroit City Airport area. This car ran mid to low nines which scared the hell out of me the way it was put together. They came up to our shop to build the motor so no one downtown knew anything about the motor.

The car looks familiar.

Here's another

Back in the early to mid 90's a guy named Tim Mitchell had a car that looked alot like this one.. Centerlines and all. He lived in Westland I believe back then. He raced it on the street...</div></div>

and here's a PM I got

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">This car was raced at Detroit Dragway for many years. The owner was good friends with my father. Everyone call him Cowboy. (the name on the window). If I remember correctly this car was a stick car also, or it was when it was raced through the early 80's. Its seen some street action in the late 70's, but mostly track after that. Cowboy passed away a few years ago, great person. Known him sense I was 8 years old, I'm 45 now. Hope this helps. Enjoy! </div></div>
