I finally told my hubby about the car! He didn't know what to say. lol His heart just dropped it think. He can't believe it was in a barn after all!! He had always joked that it was in a barn and we'd never find it. Did it have any of the parts with it? He believes he bought it around 1978-79. He sold it for a '70 914 Porsche from CA. Ever since he sold it he kicked himself. I can't tell you how much he misses that car. Since we finally gave up the search about 2 yrs. ago I went on EBay and found him a '70 Nova that had the same color as the Chevelle. We picked it up from PA. I will show you pics later. Back to the Chevelle... Ron made the Chevelle what it was. He lived for that car. He built that engine with his 2 hands I believe. We were only dating at the time. He was always "tricking it" out. No, we never lived in River Grove. I'll have to ask Ron (Hubby) if he remembers the purchase from the guy. It's been a while. If memory serves me right I always thought it was stick. Yes, he did race their... 11 twenties was his timing their. The pic is at the forest preserve you mention. And the guy that owns the Camaro still has it, and has not had it out his garage for years. He still says he'll ride it one of these days. lol The pic's are old and discolored. They don't show how mint this car was. Any thought of selling? Ron I think would like to see it at least. It was a real part of his younger years if you know what I mean. We have lots of pics. He raced often. Always trying to beat his times, and another friends car that was called "Flirting with Disaster". That friend no longer has that car but he still races. The guy "Lino" that told us about this lived the street over from us and knows how that car was. It was a REAL MEAN MACHINE!! I'm the computer guru, so Ron will need me to respond to any other questions. I have put his email address on here. I believe I made it public. Oh by the way, we still have the Porsche. Hasn't be out in years. Has a brand new motor sitting on a bench for the last 6 years or so. I'm waiting for him to get to that one. rrrrr I guess his Nova is first priority. He just finished the whole front end (down to the frame) of that car. He goes to a lot of car shows in our area.
