Very Cool Sam!! Sam, can you tell from that original rear picture of the car if the exhaust tips were the rolled edged style or straight?? I was just curious..

Thanks Rich

Hey Rich, looking closely at my photos taken on the day after car was delivered, I think they look like the non-rolled tips. Also, this is an 06A built car and believe the problems with the rolled tips retaining moisture had been determined by June and therefore I think had already been pulled from production lines.

Sam, what a spectacular car. I have 1 of 6 1970 L-78 Chevelle Convertible - however I think yours beats me head to head on the show floor.
Thanks for sharing your story.

Thanks Dave and welcome aboard. You've got some nice iron yourself.

I got a care package from Wayne today including this photo of Wickline Chevrolet's salesman, Hoover Potter, (I pictured him to be much older for some reason

) handing the keys to Wayne. There were some other items in the care pkg which I will photograph/scan and post later. Sure made my day!

This is my first post here and I wanted to point out this picture was probably taken 40 years to the day as of today 6/13/09. Pretty cool!

You are most definitely right Anthony. I know this fact will not be lost on Wayne. He is very numbers and dates oriented (particularly the # THIRTEEN!

). Your post is a good reminder for me to give him a call and touch base with him on this special anniversary.

BTW, Welcome aboard!

I had the pleasure of seeing this car in person at the Scottsdale pavilions show within the last month or so, beautiful car !!!!

Thanks Jim. Introduce yourself next time you are at the Pavillions. I look forward to meeting you.

I did call Wayne today and caught him chopping wood while he waited for his lawn to dry so he could mow it. I started off by wishing him a "happy anniversary" - he didn't miss a beat and knew exactly what I was talking about.
