Page #20 post w/date correction (I traded it Oct 19, 1970) . . .
-----Correction is: "dealer wholesaled it late '70/early '71" . . .
GM warranty "CE" short block Dec 1969 . . .
GM warranty "rebuild" CE block, Oct 1970 . . .
Traded while at dealership for warranty CE block rebuild . . .

I have pictures of the 1966 SS 396 Chevelle I traded along with the '66 paperwork . . .
The vin from the '66 SS is shown on my '69 Dealer/customer invoice . . .
Not a single picture of the '69 (just was not a priority back then). . .
I have the window sticker and customer invoice from the '70 Camaro RS when I traded the '69 DH/COPO Chevelle . . .
The '69 is listed on the '70 dealer paperwork . . .
Kept this stuff along with various other trivia (a bible from 2nd grade, stuff from Boy Scouts, indian artifacts I found and various other trinkets. Just could never throw it away . . .

I knew the Chevy dealership at which I traded the car very well - my (then) future father-in-law was their top salesman.
He knew it was a Dick Harrell Chevelle "SUPERCAR" with a BIG motor and just couldn't wait for me to get rid of it.
He shuddered every time I showed up to take my fiancee (now my wife for almost 40 years) on a date and pestered me constantly to trade it off.
In the mid 70's, HP cars were in the dirt as far as trade in's went - the dealership wholesaled it in late '70/early '71 because they could not get rid of it . . .
