Guys-
I think you may be trying too hard to find a chink in this cars armor. This was NOT a basket case before restoration, it was an completely unmolested car that was merely parked in 1976 in the owners back yard. The dash is unrestored, if the silver paint is wrong, well, call GM - 'cause that is the way it was! Unless , of course, the owner needed to touch it up when the car was <6 years old. Same with the steering wheel.

I can fully appreciate members of this group looking out for each other. Overall, I think a lot of the posts are quite valid especially considering the glut of absolute s$# on the market these days! However, the "guilty until proven innocent" method of judging cars is getting old, at least to me. I am a car collector and enthusiast first and foremost , being a dealer is a side effect of the sickness. Trust me when I say that I look at a LOT of cars and weed out 98% within seconds of seeing them. This Chevelle is a car well known to me that I watched being restored.

I welcome any of you to come and look at the car in person, or any of my cars for that matter. I'll even tap off a round of Milwaukee's Finest in the shop.All I ask is that before you jump to conclusions about what is right and what is presumed wrong on a car that you do a little home work first and research the subject.

Oh yeah,please don't get my web guy fired up by posting copywrited and water marked pictures from my site! He gets all puffy and starts rattling on about "intelectual property" and "copywright infringment" blah, blah,blah. If you want a picture to use, let me know and I'll send you the picture sans water mark - with my blessings.

Best regards to all -
