Sam did you get the booster,great looking car. Guy

Re: Sam Griffith's 1969 L78 Chevelle...WOW!
 

Guy, I sure did and my bust for not telling you so. I had it sent to my buddy, Eddie's (enio45), house in AZ as I am working out here in OH for the time being, Eddie said it arrived a couple days ago. A booster is one of the few under hood items that need to be corrected and your booster is just what I needed. Thanks Guy!

<span style="font-size: 14pt">Hi Frank,

I really consider myself fortunate! I am collecting pieces to transform it back to one of its earlier looks or some mix of the way it roamed the streets/strips awhile back.....

Definitely my favorite 69 Chevelle!

Re: Sam Griffith's 1969 L78 Chevelle...WOW!
 

Thanks for posting the 2 pics Sam! It gives me an idea for my black L78. I'm really torn about doing anything with mine because it is so original, but those pics sure scream &quot;DO IT!!!!&quot;.

Re: Sam Griffith's 1969 L78 Chevelle...WOW!
 

Tony - I recall your black beauty as well. I won't be doing anything that is not reversible. Go for it and let us all know how you are coming (with lots of pix!) [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]

I thought you and Woj were going to have a side by side display at MCACN? Perhaps next year [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/Can-I-Have-It.gif[/img]

I want to see these to twins together.

These are gorgeous Chevelle's, over the last decade the different color interiors like red, and parchment, and are really growing on me, too many black interiors around.

Re: Sam Griffith's 1969 L78 Chevelle...WOW!
 

<span style="font-size: 14pt">Sweet sound of the Solid Flat Tappet Lifters. I noticed the old link to this stopped working and whenever I can't get to my Chevelle I like to play this. Although, the mufflers are intact externally, I am guessing the baffling is detiorated on the inside which to me sounds a bit more like chambered exhaust.....but, that's okay with me.</span> [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

Re: Sam Griffith's 1969 L78 Chevelle...WOW!
 

Years &amp; years of open headers, standing at the starting line of a dragstrip between Fuel burning dragsters, listening to the demonic Rock 'n Roll at insane decibel levels, chain saws, screaming wives &amp; kids, .....you get the point. Like many of us who NEVER wore hearing protection because WE WERE TOO MANLY for such SENSELESS things!!!!!, ..... I suffer from Tinnitus. (That's the constant ringing in your ears that will NEVER go away.) Because of that, I sleep with a TV, radio, etc. on just to generate 'white noise' so the ringing doesn't push me over the edge. (Yes, I know: I'm painfully close anyway!)
So, ...... Sam, .............. my point: I want that sound on an endless tape loop. I could fall asleep to that sound every night for the rest of my life!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: Sam Griffith's 1969 L78 Chevelle...WOW!
 

I'll work on it DC. I think you may be on to something! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: Sam Griffith's 1969 L78 Chevelle...WOW!
 

----Right there with you, Dennis! Day or night I have the ringing in both ears. A short while back I had to get hearing aids which do bring down the decibel level a notch or two (when I remember to put them in).......Bill S

Re: Sam Griffith's 1969 L78 Chevelle...WOW!
 

Cumby has &quot;ringing&quot;..Tibor is hearing &quot;bells&quot;...not sure about Howie, but I'll bet he has strange sounds, too.

Put them all togther and they could have a real band [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

wilma...I don't hear anyhting, except what Karen tells me [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Re: Sam Griffith's 1969 L78 Chevelle...WOW!
 

Dennis &amp; Bill, I also have the same thing. Always there and very loud. &quot;what did you say?&quot; AND I can't get the video to launch. Darn. And I love that car!

Re: Sam Griffith's 1969 L78 Chevelle...WOW!
 

Very nice Chevelle [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

Re: Sam Griffith's 1969 L78 Chevelle...WOW!
 

Can you imagine at one time you could go down to the local Chevy dealer and order something that sounds like that................

That is a perfect L78.

Love it

Sam,

You and the L78 attending 2013 MCACN`s?

<span style="font-size: 14pt">Hey Dan,

My mind is down with that, but the logistics are a challenge for me. Still living (and loving it) in Ohio. Working a plan to get my better half out here. So, till that dust settles it will be a challenge to get my Chevelle to MCACN. However........Never say <span style="font-style: italic">NEVER</span>!</span> [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/scholar.gif[/img]

Re: Sam Griffith's 1969 L78 Chevelle...WOW!
 

Sam....have the car shipped to me here in Illinois and I'll be happy to drive it to MCACN for you...I live about 20 minutes from the Stevens Center :-)

Re: Sam Griffith's 1969 L78 Chevelle...WOW!
 

OK Sam, how bout this, ship Black Beauty to NEO. Between Phil, Grady and myself we will take turns storing it.(not to much driving involved, maybe the Falls on Monday and a few trips to Solon on Tuesdays.. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]. ) Also we can trailer it to the Chevelle Show in Strongsville in August, hopfully you can come up... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]...and between Grady and me we can trailer it to MCACN in November. Lots of options Buddy.... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]
