Crushed Dreams
So, I got an email from a good friend of mine today. She's a car lover and has owned her 1969 Chevelle SS 396/M40 since the early 90's. I don't remember the exact year she acquired it. I believe it was a 325hp power plant. Another friend of mine used to own it and wanted to sell it to get a different car and when I told her about it she jumped on it and made the deal. She's enjoyed it a lot over the years. I received these pictures this morning from her. My jaw and heart dropped to the floor. I've seen things like this on TV over the years, but never thought it would happen to a friend of mine. All I can say... It was a fun, cool car. From what you can see there's not much that has been left unaffected. Eucalyptus trees are pretty heavy.
