The sad part was a sold them all when I moved from MN to IL to open our business. Wish I had kept them. Chad now owns my convert so at least I can watch it being restored.


Where you one of the co-founders of the Northstar Chevelle club with an unrestored, Black, Chevelle ?

Still kicking myself, he had an extra hood for it too!!

I was only one of the original members of the NCC but not a founder. I was co-founder of North American Super Sports however. You are likely thinking of Dean Ribich who at the time owned the survivor 70 LS6 Chevelle nick named the "Benchmark Chevelle". Dean was a members of the club at one time when it originally started and I believe one of the first club gatherings took place it his home. I believe this photo was taken at that very gathering.

Eternal Flame Falls, New York, USA

It’s nothing to do with The Bangles’ hit song, but this is an (almost) eternal flame. The bewitching orange-red glow that flickers behind this staggered waterfall, in New York’s Chestnut Ridge Park, is kept aflame by natural methane gas that seeps through cracks in the rock. It’s occasionally extinguished by splashes but visitors can bring it back to life with a lighter.

Magnetic Hill, New Brunswick, Canada

Cars roll backwards and, apparently, upwards after driving to the bottom of this so-called “magnetic hill” in Moncton, New Brunswick. But it isn’t actually defying the laws of gravity. It’s one of several hills around the globe where what looks like an uphill incline is, in fact, part of a larger downhill incline. It's an optical illusion because there’s no view of the horizon for perspective.

Blood Falls, Antarctica

The world’s coldest and perhaps most enigmatic continent is home to a blood-red waterfall that seeps into the ice. Geologists originally thought the red color was due to algae but the truth is actually much more interesting. It started around two million years ago when a saltwater pool was trapped inside Taylor Glacier. The sealed, airless lake’s high iron content and salinity caused the rust-red color that eventually oozed out of a fissure in the ice.

Marfa Lights, Texas, USA

On clear nights, lights twinkle on the horizon just outside the hip Texan town of Marfa, and they’ve been baffling onlookers for more than 135 years. The bright orbs throb or, some say, move across the sky. Even James Dean, in Marfa filming the movie Giant, was spooked and captivated by the still-unexplained phenomenon. Theories on what they are include UFOs, ghosts of Spanish conquistadors and car headlights.

OK, yeah, the Benchmark Chevelle. I've seen pics of the first meeting at his house, in the rain.
I've been a member for about 10 years only. Derek, a co-founder, is still active. I went to MCACN for the first time with him 3 years ago. Like everyone else here, I was really looking forward to the 50th anniversary of the 1970 models.

I believe Derek introduced me to you at that show if memory serves me. If I recall I was with a customer's car but don't recall which one.

You can go to Walmart for anything and everything, from your weekly groceries to your DIY needs. But if you're a Texan, you know there's one thing you can't buy at Walmart: liquor. The world's largest retailer has been attempting to prove that a 1995 state law that bars the sale of liquor by publicly owned companies in Texas is discriminating against out-of-state commerce. But following the U.S. Supreme Court rejecting Walmart's petition this week, the company has failed in its bid to start selling liquor at its stores in Texas.

All 396 engines wore chrome valve covers, but only the 350hp and 375hp varieties came equipped with an open-element air filter. The 325hp engine had a black side-snorkel-type air cleaner with a chrome lid. However, when an automatic transmission was ordered in 1969, all engines were equipped with a closed air cleaner assembly.
Is this true?

Mr. Chevy 11-26-2020 03:22 AM

I believe even the automatic 350 horse cars in 69, at least Chevelle, still had the open element air cleaner.

I thought that the Impala got painted valve covers on the 396.
