Default Re: 1970 Chevelle throttle bracket

I wanted to add some background on the car as I think this is a neat story. My father purchased this car in 1974 while he was in the Army. He sent money home to have his parent purchase him a car. Ultimately a 1970 Chevelle ss was purchased. It was cranberry red, red bucket seats white stripes and vinyl top. When it was purchased it had a 396 installed, but was originally a 454. My father had the car untill around 1985 when he sold it to a guy in town. One day about 20 years ago I was going through pictures and found one of the car. It made a lasting impression on me and I was always dreaming of the car. A name of the buyer was dropped to me one day so I looked him up in the phone book and gave him a call. He still had the car! Of course it wasn't for sale. Years went past and I still couldn't shake the car from my thoughts. I bought numerous old Fords, but still dreamed of the Chevy. Several years back I reached out to him again on facebook- still had the car and still not for sale. Last year after some unfortunate events a deal was finally made on the car. However, it didn't end there. The car was sitting on some land that didn't belong to him for storage. After a year of negotiations she was finally released to me
