Cool car Mark. You know I like those 69's. It may not be as cool as say one of your other 69's, but it's a close second.

Sam thank you, I do appreciate the suggestion of posting the pictures and taking in my 15 minutes of fame. Bruce is already in town and he came by my job to say hi. Neat people and I hope the Saturday thing lives up to what I am telling everybody.

Either way Mark, it'll be fun.

I played a *bit* of a practical joke on Mark...acting as if I was an irate customer...too funny. He handled it well.

It seems that Mark and my wife know a lot of the same people (small world!). Mark is currently employed where my wife worked for 15 + years...after everyone found out that we were there to see Mark...we had top make the rounds throughout the company

BTW, Mark is an extremely nice guy.

Also thanks to Sam Griffith for urging Mark to send his pics and write up in...

Go ahead and rub salt in the wound Bill. I deserve it especially after I dump about 4 times the money in this car of what I paid for yours. To be honest I still prefer your old car because it ran so well and all the bugs were out of it. What new projects do you have going?

Mark, after I sold you my pride ad joy 69 Camaro, I bought a 71 SS-454 Chevelle and did a frame off on it. Then I bought a 68 SS-396 Chevelle and went thru the same process. I sold the 71 and stuck the cash in a secret car fund and I'm waiting for the right car to come along. In the mean time, I have the 68 all finished and I've been trailering it up and down the east coast, attending a bunch of Chevelle shows, and various Super Chevy and AACA shows.
Here's a shot of the 68 at the ACES show in Nashville.

Wow, nice '68!

I have not seen the car in person but I know Bill's work and I am certain that this Chevelle is spectacular in person. Bill is good friends with ALbert and if you have been following the progress of his COPO car you will see the detail and quality that these guys do. This whole Camaro sickness started for me when I could not get the money fast enough to buy the orange 69 SS RS with the ZL1 that ALbert built and sold several years ago.

Bill, What color is your '68 again? The car looks great!!! The pics always look like my favorite, tripoli turquoise (K color code).
