Hi Stefano
I don't think that was the same Chevelle?
If memory serves,Charley or someone out west said someone bought that B/J Chevelle,then painted it Astro Blue.I then remember a thread here showing it at an indoor carshow,in Astro Blue with a sign next to it claiming it to be authentic,but w/no docs at all.
They put a HUGE amount of money in that resto too.
Team Chevelle & here pretty much ripped on it.
I did check B/J auction results from I think 02,& it's VIN# was listed,& that was not the same VIN# I knew from Red Deer.

Thanks George.
I have pix of it at a show in Idaho,from 1990's.
I don't know if that was B/J or not.
He wanted 65K back then,which for a clone today,isn't so outrageous to some,but is to me.They did an amazing amount of restoration/detail work on this Chevelle,as the 20 some pictures he sent me show.

Rick, the car was definatly at a sale in Idaho in the nineties. The guy brought the cat back to Edmonton Alberta and still tried to sell it as a non documented LS6 convertible. He eventually sold it to a farmer in Saskatoon Saskatchewan, the price i am not sure of. The new owner new it was a clone when he bought it as the news spread pretty fast of the car. He ordered a complete new interior and a bunch of other parts for the car from a friend of mine at a local muscle car parts supplier. He then had it worked on at a shop in Saskatoon called Champion auto body or service. That is really all i found out about the car.

Good to know.I always wondered what happened to this car.
I am glad to hear the current owner knows it is a Clone,& is OK with that.
Thanks George.

The Gobi beige fake got changed to Astro blue with added paperwork by the same guy that sold the 68 Corvette Bronze L89 Camaro at Barrett-Jackson that Jerry Macneish was asking about.
