That color w/ black top, steelies and redlines is sure a sinister looking combination!.

I have known Jeff and George for quite some time....and have seen many of there cars. They are both real car guys with a real passion for preserving the American Muscle Car.

Jeff...I hope you jump start and push up the Garnet Red SS 300 Deluxe Post Sedan Chevelle ahead of some of your other projects....but have the heart to let George start and finish some of his own very special cars....such as that rare Buick GS and the LS5 El Camino.

Dan.

Default Good memories

I am the son of the original selling dealer. I stumbled across your posts about the car. You and I talked once about the car several years ago. Outstanding job with the restoration. Really nice to see such a good looking car.

What color is that? Looks great with the steel wheels - I think we just found out the #1 car in the '68-'72 Stock-Restored class at the NNN show!

The color is Cordovan Maroon, Code N. The color kind of grows on you.Looking foward to the NNN show! Thanks for all the nice comments. My friend George Steele of GS Restorations did the resto on the car, I wish I had the talent. I spent most of the time trying to find parts and info !
Dan
We are very excited about the Chevelle and plan on starting on it soon!

Nice job Jeff,
was the second owner from the Indy area?
did you ever find out who the selling dealer was?
