Re: Help Me Find "THE JENKS" 1969 L78 L89 Chevelle SS
Ryan,
Have you seen the gentlemen in the metro Detroit area with the aluminum headed 69 elcamino from the michigan area in search of the original motor? http://detroit.craigslist.org/wyn/cto/4701062727.html |
Re: Help Me Find "THE JENKS" 1969 L78 L89 Chevelle SS
Mike you really are on the hunt!!
I am in contact with this El Camino owner and have shared back and forth to try to find his original engine. Keep digging we will find the missing link soon! Ryan |

Ryan,
Did you see the Daytona yellow 396/375 l78 on the Lansing mi craigslist. It has white bench seat but it's a manual trans. Claims interior and sheet metal are original? Have you spoke with the owner yet. Looks to have been restored so who knows if they changed the color of the interior. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...9582-image.jpg |
Re: Help Me Find "THE JENKS" 1969 L78 L89 Chevelle SS
Good lead Mike, I will call him and see about the Parchment interior.
Thanks again for searching. Ryan |

Re: Help Me Find "THE JENKS" 1969 L78 L89 Chevelle SS

Nice detective work!!! Ryan |
Re: Help Me Find "THE JENKS" 1969 L78 L89 Chevelle SS
Ryan, are you really writing a book? If so, will it have the added Canadian "u" I words like "colour" and "flavour"? Just jabbin' atcha homey. Good luck on your search!
|
Re: Help Me Find "THE JENKS" 1969 L78 L89 Chevelle SS
That's funny, I did use a few Canadian spelled words on purpose just to see if they would get edited/spell checked:-)
Ryan |
Re: Help Me Find "THE JENKS" 1969 L78 L89 Chevelle SS
If he wrote a book, it certainly would not be about Chevelle`s or Cutlass`s
But rather on Photography....Hoods, Tires, etc [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img] Dan |
Re: Help Me Find "THE JENKS" 1969 L78 L89 Chevelle SS
