'68 Chevelle SS w/ Nickey p-o-p

[Stefano]

Spoke with Frank the third owner of the Chevelle again today. He lives in WI, but says his Uncle, who painted the car Silver, in his garage, back here, in the burbs, may have the name of the original owner.

When Frank purchased the car from the second owner it had a 283, 4 speed, bench seat, 4.56 gears and a Flat non SS hood. The second owner had a green SS hood which was included, with the deal.

He put a 396/325 and rebuilt 4 speed in the car, which might be what is still in the car today, although it was rebuilt and hopped up, by the owners, builder of choice prior to me.

He met the original owner, when the original owner saw the car, at the Uncles house/garage, getting ready to be painted.

The original owner confirmed that the car was an L78 and that he had blown up an engine (might have been the original L78) as well as fragged the flywheel, which caused some damage to the fire wall. The damage was still visible at the time.

The next engine to go into the car was a 427, which he believes was in the car until he sold it to the second owner.

Frank belives the car was also raced at the local tracks as well as on the street with the 427.

Does anyone remember a White, Black vinyl top, black bench, Flat hood '68 Chevelle SS, the car also had Rally Wheels on it, running around the neighborhood or local track?

Frank thinks the original owner was from Wheaton or Villa Park?

Someome has gotta remember that car. We can't rely on Kwiz for everything.
