Question for you Chevelle owners................

Mr. T · #1 11-21-2003, 08:06 PM

I have always been curious why Chevrolet never offered the Ralley Sport Option to the buyer's on the 68 and 69 Chevelles. Wonder how a chevelle would look with hideaway headlights, ralley stripes, and back-up lights. If there is a RS or SS/RS optioned Chevelle out there, I have never seen one or heard of one, and I have seen alot of Chevelles in my day. Thanks!

If you've ever fully restored a 69 RS Camaro you will understand my answer - "They ran out of rubber hose for the headlight vacuum and washer systems" [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

It's hard to say whether the 69 Velle front end would be cosmetically improved with hideaway lights [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Don, Beautiful car this is the first time I looked at the pics! My question is, is that a church it is in front of on the rear 3/4 shot? If so what is the denomination? (Just want to know if the car is going to heaven or not [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]).
Rich.

Thanks for the kind comments Rich. Yes, it is a church. On Labor Day I was cruising back from a Car Display to support MD and thought this church parking lot would be a nice locale for some pics. Both exterior shots were taken there. I don't know the denomination to be honest. Anyway, I do not see 'The Blue Beast' going the direction you mentioned after it's demise, the car is "TOO BAD" [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Don,

Is the Chevelle a factory original L-89 car?

I have always been more curious why Chevrolet never offered a spolier option to the buyer's on Chevelles.
