No, Just gave it the annual bath this past weekend.

Dan,
"Chevelles only" must be some form of illegal discrimination.

Nice car. I have an original 69 SS (325hp) Baltimore car, 4a build date. It has the same low stance as this one (wi/orignal springs). I noticed a similar stance in the early 69 Chevelle SS advertisements as well.

Also noteworthy is that it seems Fremont cars got the tire pressure decal in the glove box door whereas Framingham and Baltimore got them on the driver's door.

All the wheels on my car have just about the same dates. I noticed that they spare has a tube in it. It was probably used at some point and/or transferred from another car. Unless you are the original owner, you'll never know.

Nice photos.

Phil Woj.

Hate to hijack but just in case someone here didn't know what an L78 sounds like......try this link and ask Casey about the driveway sealing capabilities.

Believe it or not that Daytona Yellow beater was Monaco Orange when it was new.Its been treated like a thousand dollar car its whole life. Sold new here in Toronto and made its way out to the east coast before making a return appearance to terrorize local driveways.
