Original owner JoeG and his B/M Chevelle
 

( Hey JoeG...don't try to sneak this under the radar with the groundhog title !!)

I had a chance before the snow showed up to slap on the SYC lic/plate frame and pull the car out......Motion/Yenko combine..........Didn't see my shadow............... https://www.yenko.net/attachments/249...frontverne.jpg

Re: Groundhog shadow check..........
 

Sir, repectfully, awesome car and all, but that won't work for another 4 days and a little furry critter from Punxsutawney, PA will have to make that call.

Looks great Joe. When do we get to see more pics? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

Re: Groundhog shadow check..........
 

This was the first time I've driven the car other than pulling it out and in the garage and chirped the tires since '93--kinda fun.......Verne has another photo, let me see if I can get him to post it in high resolution ........

Is this the one that you're talking about? Hey, nice license plate frame!

Re: Groundhog shadow check..........
 

My pleasure Joe.
Joe mentioned that the door was left ajar, so don't think he's playing with aeordymanics.....

http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3.../chevyside.jpg

If you have any pics that you want to share Joe, just send them and I'll do the same thing. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Groundhog shadow check..........
 

Nice Joe!

Thanks Verne.

Re: Groundhog shadow check..........
 

What the hell is with you guys??????? Senator what's his name and a beat up nova get more attention then an ORIGINAL OWNER MOTION PHASE III CAR that's finally out and on the road after 13 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????
I'm sorry for the hot poker guys, but I just don't understand it! Joe is one of those "salt of the earth" guys who bought that magnificent car when he was barely out of his teens, and STILL OWNS it!!!!! Why can't more people realize how special that is??? Maybe I'm just on a different plane, because I still own the car I bought when I was 17. I guess it's a feeling that only a very few can relate to.

And I apologize to Joe for calling attention to him without him knowing. This rant is none of his doing. It's just me being me.

Would someone kindly post a list of every original owner of a MOTION car who STILL owns the car???? Think about that for a bit, and maybe my point will sink in a little. Joe is a laid back kind of guy who never draws attention to himself, but I happen to believe attention is due. He's not some jerk who hacked up the car and threw it away. He's spent untold time and effort to bring that car back to the way it was when he took delivery from Joel Rosen. and if I know Joe, he'll own it every day he's alive! Stop and think about this..................EVERY DAY of the history of his car is known. That might take a little time to really sink in.

Verne
Sorry Joe, I just HAD to to do this..... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif Please don't be upset with me. You and your Chevelle deserve a special place in Supercar history as far as I'm concerned, but then, who the H am I??

Re: Groundhog shadow check..........
 

I think I get your point Verne. And a good one at that. Should have known this was a special one. Well, now that you have illuminated us dense ones, how bout the skinny on this beast? Wasn't this featured here before? Can't seem to find it. O.K. let us have it!!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/laugh.gif

Re: Groundhog shadow check..........
 

OH BOY----Verne thanks for your enthusiam. Yes the car was featured before . I missed a deadline to get some photos of an Original owner car to Hemmings---I had said in a previous post I was working on getting the photos out.Well I missed the deadline, but I'm still working on the car so I posted updated photos --no more no less.--And Rick you'd better not post that little popcorn eating guy.....Joe

Re: Groundhog shadow check..........
 

It was a past feature car in july of 2004. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Groundhog shadow check..........
 

I have been poking JoeG for awhile now about this,and although some may call him lax,I know see this is how he rolls.
I would suspect that when JoeG submits his cars pics,story & details to Hemmings Muscle Machines,George Mattar will NOT put him in with the few other Original car owners segment,but Feature JoeG seperately with his own 6 page Feature story.
And rightly so..

I agree. Joe has to be one of the nicest (and funniest guys) that I've not met yet! I'm sure that Hemmings will be all over "his story" (i.e. history).

I think that I was one of the guys that was prodding Joe to send his pics to Hemmings. Joe...I can wait. It will be cool to see it featured. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Now that is what I'm talking about. What a wonderful piece of machinery.

Joe, would you please provide a couple shots of underhood, undercarriage (rear suspension set-up), and interior?

Thanks https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Groundhog shadow check..........
 

VERNE !!! Maybe people haven't commented on it because they didn't bother to check a thread about Groundhogs. I finally read the thread after I was told about your angry post.

It's a awsome car and I hope it is getting dusted off in order to come to the reunion.

Re: Groundhog shadow check..........
 

Boy o boy something about these brown musclecars! Car and owner has to be at the top of every list and ANY magazine feature! Great car and even a better story. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Way to go Verne! If we didn't know you better we'd think you were really mad! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif (Let's just say you're passionate about these cars! Not a thing wrong with that. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif)

I gotta agree, an Original Owner B/M P3 Chevelle deserves a Helluva lot more attention than Kerry and that Groundhog everyone talks about. I can only think of one thing better than a full blown feature on this car; and that would be seeing (and hearing) it in person at SCR X!

Thanks for keeping a piece of history alive and well Joe. I'm a BIG fan of Burnished Brown. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Groundhog shadow check..........
 

Yeah, I guess I let the fire in my belly get the best of me sometimes. Sorry if I upset anyone. I wasn't really MAD (with a capital "M"), but more disappointed and frustrated by what seemed to be a lack of recognition of such a unique one-owner car. I also realized that the thread title might have made it a bit invisible...
So, I apologize for letting my passion get me overly worked up. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif
Joe calls my wife, "Saint Janet". I've beat up on Joe too, many times. But he seems to put up with me, maybe because he knows it's coming from a friend. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

It hadn't sunk-in until I read Verne's post. You're right to be exasperated Verne, I would MUCH rather drool over cars such as Joe's Chevelle than talk politics. Now it's time for a few burnout photos, huh Joe???

You could have said that the massive torque of the big block popped the passenger door ajar! My buddy's '67 BB (LS-7) Camaro used to pop the pass door routinely on hard launches and second-gear shifts. Got my attention the first time it did that! (Glove box door would flop open too.)

Re: Groundhog shadow check..........
 

""Would someone kindly post a list of every original owner of a MOTION car who STILL owns the car???? ""


It didn't matter what the title, when Joe posts, I READ !!

I could be wrong but that list may start and end here? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Groundhog shadow check..........
 

I'm gonna see Verne in a few days so I guess he's gonna lay into me https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif...and his wife is a saint........No doubt about it though Verne is the truest car guy I know https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif.......I've also been informed that there is a Groundhog Union, so I've be banned from reporting on my shadow.-- In the end I enjoyed taking the photos and thought I'd pass them on..Many thanks to all you car guys... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif....Joe

Re: Groundhog shadow check..........
 

Joe,
First of all, I'm very sorry to hear that you know so very few people. I guess it just must be me and your cousin Vinne who's in jail???

As for more photos of Joe's car, I just might be able to arrange that, but I think he's going to charge me heavily for each one. He's a really mean guy!

I don't suppose anyone would like to see a video with sound would they?? You never know what might be coming. That reminds me.....I'll have to go the pharmacy first and buy a rubber before I film that!!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/drool.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/drool.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

When I went off to college my Pop gave me the "talk". He told me if it was too hard to keep my fly zipped up, remember a rubber is cheaper than getting married! I can remember the exact place on the road and the car we were in when he told me that!!
