If I knew how to post pics of that I would. 2 cars in my collection worthy of this page but aren't supercars are a 68 L34 4sp and 70 L78 auto Nova's.

Yes his neice Shelby inherited the cars.. His brother Daves daughter.

where on the East side was the chevelle? i knew of a garage that had a chevelle and a 69 camaro in it right on Bailey by Walden..seen them once when the door was open and never saw them again.

I bought it on Herman St off Best. I had to remove around 60 screws from the door as he screwed it shut haha. Car was last registered in 71 and it was rough from being in a damp garage, none the less I saved it and a guy from Ohio bought it. No idea what his plans were with it.

I have enjoyed so much reading the posts in this thread. I started driving in 1965 and over the next few years had quite a few muscle cars and still do. This thread brings back a lot of memories and the sharing of stories by those posting makes for great reading. I live in Ontario and we often crossed over to, I think it was called Niagara Raceway, in the late 60's to watch drag racing. It's great to here about all muscle cars, not just GM's, even though thats what I have. I hope people do not get tired of this thread and keep contributing. Have a great day.

Yes, Niagara Raceway and they had a great commercial “Sunday at Niagara.”

My car hasn't been to Gratwick show in probably 5 years, but I do take it to the Wurlizter cruise nite every Monday. Maybe that's where you seen it? Thank you though
