Frank Magallon's Beautiful Blue SS Chevelle
 

This is the final chapter in my Yenko ownership saga. Everything you see in the first picture is basically the result of the proceeds of my Yenko Deuce sale.

My wife and I are as happy as can be in our Chicago Bungalow (circa 1924 https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif ) As you could have guessed, I could NOT be without a muscle car so I purchased this car in March. Working on a limited budget all I could afford is a simple NOM SS 396 Chevelle so here she is

My Chevelle was shipped on 3/13/70 to Mike Savoie Chevrolet in Troy Michigan. The car has been in many states and has had many owners till it was bought by a friend of mine who wanted to upgrade to a drop top so he decided to part with it. What really sold me was the absolutely beautiful color of Astro blue which I don't believe I have ever seen on another Chevelle and with the blue interior it really makes for a striking combination. In the sun the color sparkles like a jewel

The car also has some interesting features such as a factory rear defrost (which I also have never seen) and still retains its unused General spare and SS wheel. I decided to do a very mild day 2 modification with the factory size and style tires and Cragar wheels which with the color combo look awesome in my opinion. I also added a freshly polished pair of Mickey Thompson valve covers and plan to add a Sun Super Tach at a later date. There are a few incorrect things that were done that need correcting and future plans include a new master cylinder and correctly finished brake booster along with correcting the hack job someone did to the dash for an after market radio.

For now I am very happy with the car and am even happier with the column shift auto as rowing the gears on the Yenko on my crowded city streets was a chore I hope you all enjoy the pictures and I even included some alley shots from behind my apartment building which I know some people liked from a different members feature.

HEY! Since when do you go buying a car without making sure the guy has one for me too? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif Congrats Frankie... Looks like a real nice car, at least it will when you pitch those Cragars. j/k....Looks killer with the wheels, and a great color combo too.

BTW, It looks like we're gonna need to start a Chevelle Shootout at SCR so you can continue to collect those giant trophies.

Re: Frank Magallon's Beautiful Blue SS Chevelle
 

classic design... modifications are perfect Frank!
color combo is stunning and the detailing is good too.

Good work https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Re: Frank Magallon's Beautiful Blue SS Chevelle
 

That color combination is stunning. Beautiful car Frank. Is the underside as nice yet?

Re: Frank Magallon's Beautiful Blue SS Chevelle
 

Frank,
I hated to see you sell the Deuce but knowing what you had in store made it seem a little easier not too mention you seemed very happy about the decision which is really what counts. I never really liked a blue interior in any car but in this Chevelle it looks great and keep the Cragers, they look great as well! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif I second the shootout! Nice buy Frank, let me know if I can help you in any way.
Rick

Re: Frank Magallon's Beautiful Blue SS Chevelle
 

Frank,

Thanks for your participation in the Members Rides with your really cool blue Chevelle. I thouroughly enjoyed talking to you last year at SCR8 and watching you race your Deuce.

Your Chevelle looks "just right" the way that you have it now...don't change anything.

BTW, the bungalow is awesome...Hey, https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...-I-Have-It.gif

Hey Joe should I send him a Hawaiian Warriors Head to hang instead of the shruken head. Or maybe LV will part with his Hula Girl Dash dancer https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

Nice looking car Frank and congrats on the new place.

Re: Frank Magallon's Beautiful Blue SS Chevelle
 

Nice Chevelle Frank. Here is a photo that I took at the Downers Grove cruise night. No antifreeze to be seen... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

Don't encourage him Jeff.... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif--LV's Hula Girl must get a workout on his ZO6 dash...... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

Re: Frank Magallon's Beautiful Blue SS Chevelle
 

Hey Frank, Tough decision to sell but a great choice in the 2 purchases! Only you and your wife know what is best for you. I bet the chevelle gets more attention than the Deuce anyway. The house in Suburban Chicago is just neat. Love the alley shots! Looks to me that it is a real nice neighborhood. Houses look well kept. Good luck with both. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif Sam

Re: Frank Magallon's Beautiful Blue SS Chevelle
 

I have been drooling over an Astro Blue 70 SS396 that a friend has. What a cool color on a Chevelle. His has ivory interior though. But you know me. I'm a blue/blue guy now. Very nice Frank, congrats. Anxious to see it! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Frank Magallon's Beautiful Blue SS Chevelle
 

Frank, pretty car, I'd love to see it in person. Good to see the brick homes of Chicago in the background, also.

I'd say we're pretty close to it right now! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Frankie, I'm thrilled to see the new ride! Hard to get away from those Chevelles, ain't it. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Perfect color combo, Column Shift = https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif, love the Cragars; but where's the finned rear end cover? (BTW, I'm also a little partial to '20's Bungalows! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif)

Overall, I'll have to say your Ol' man did a pretty good job of raisin' a kid. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Congratulations, my friend. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Hi Frank,

Nice home, beautiful car https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif I think that blue/blue color combo is stunning, too https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif I suspect you will be able to have just as much fun with the Chevelle as you did with the Deuce https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Great... now you got me picturing my '68 in this color in my head... Thanks Frank. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Frank Magallon's Beautiful Blue SS Chevelle
 

Thats a good looking SS396 Chevelle! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Frank Magallon's Beautiful Blue SS Chevelle
 

Nice ride Frank. Not a real common color on a chevelle. Cronkleton has one that color, but it's in boxs. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif
I always though Don missed a cool deuce color with astro blue. Either white, or black stripes would have looked good. Would have had to be better than Gobby biege. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Frank Magallon's Beautiful Blue SS Chevelle
 

Beautiful Chevelle, Frank! That blue interior is killer and your period mods look great. I am betting you can have just as much fun with it as you had with the Duece.

Please accept my personal invitation to bring it out the Chevy Vettefest! Heck...we're right on your neighborhood.

Re: Frank Magallon's Beautiful Blue SS Chevelle
 

I really thank everybody for the nice comments! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif Believe me I really appreciate them. It seems like a lot of people really dig the color which is what sold me on the car. Come on, I needed something to sell me on a 396 with a slush box! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif The car is just what I am looking for at the moment. Maybe I will get another rare car someday in the future, who knows.

Nice Chevelle there Frankie. Here is something that will Complement it and make a Neat Pair.

Re: Frank Magallon's Beautiful Blue SS Chevelle
 

Beautiful real estate AND Chevelle. I second the call for a shootout; then again I am a little biased. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Re: Frank Magallon's Beautiful Blue SS Chevelle
 

I love the day two look! By the way, how does it compare to your red Chevelle?
