I have to share this here.
I was visiting a friend in 1994.He asked me to come on an errand with him.On the way there,he takes me to a friends house to "see something".
We walk up to the front door,and then proceed into the garage with the owner.
Right there is a 1969 SS L78/M22/3:55 Chevelle.29K miles and all the docs from Gibb.
This car was bought new day 1 buy this owner from Fred Gibb Chevrolet in Laharpe Ill.It is damn near stock,with some day 2 mods on it.He even has the Uniroyals,Lacquer paint,exhaust on it.With the Smog system laying next to it.Original Uni spare with trunk mat.Close your eyes and imagine the sight.

I was in Awe.

I went through this car for two hours,and could not get enough.The owner called me a Chevrolet geek!
Said he didn't understand what the fuss was.I told him his Kansas City built Chevelle was very important to me,&
I offered him some money,and I think he wanted to sell it to me for that price right there,until my friend topped my offer.Thanks you SOB!
Then the owner said he wants to research it abit to see what the market is.He has since moved into the stratosphere with the price.Way more then I could believe.
I have my notes on the car,and I guess that is all I will ever have on it.
The originality of this car is incredible,and the Fred Gibb logo on the trunk and Paperwork really add to it.
I call this guy occasionally,and he still has it,but it is not for sale,as it is to sentimental for him to part with.Money aside,I can understand that,and commend him for it.
But He won't attend shows or cruises with it.It just sits there,up in the air,since 1976.I swear there is 1969 air in those tires...
