I've been a lurker for a long time now. After seeing this thread I thought I'd introduce myself and share some info on the Chevy II. I'm the owner of Auto Body Specialists in Manchester NH and I'm the restorer of this black Chevy II. I restored it back in 2004 and I just recently freshened it up in 2010 for the last owner. It's is a very correct car with the exception of a few things one being the color combo. Yes, it's not the original color. The car still wear's it's original fire wall tag with it's original color code on it so nobody was trying to hide anything there. It has it's original born with drive train...... engine, trans and rear end. The engine wear's it's original valve covers, chrome fuel and vacuum lines, carb and intake exhaust manifolds etc. . All the chrome, stainless emblems and aluminum trim are original to the car with the exception of the bumpers and the hood molding. As far as I know the hub caps were original to the car also. We restored the Chevy II back in 2004 for a customer that was planning on driving every day so we up graded some of the suspension parts to make it a little bit more user friendly. I made sure any of the incorrect upgrades are easily changeable. The only thing on this car that is not easily changeable would be the color and I have to say it didn't seem to hurt the price one bit.
I never in a million years would I have thought that car would have bought that kind of money. I guess my customer was just in the right place at the right time.
