70 Chevelle LS6 Just Found Any Info

JOESTOYBOX · #1 07-05-2007, 10:43 PM

I would be more than happy to give Ron a call, if you would like to private message me your phone number I’ll give him a call. When I got the car, the guy said it had a blower on it at one time. He said the blower and heads were taken off before he got the car. The story is he go the car and it just sat, never moved. I recognized in picture of the car, the forest preserve; I used to go there when I was a kid, I think it was called Bussey Woods? The car actually looks good since I cleaned, a few minor dents and dings, all original sheet metal. The interior of the car really looks good, where those plastic seat covers put on by Ron? Also did Ron by parts from Nickey Chevrolet, because I found the business card in there? Looks like it has had a lot of engine work done, the motor looks like it was stamped ACE Machine… Looks like it is somewhere around 500 cubic inches. From what information I have, Ron bought it about 7 years after it was new. Kind of cool, it must have got a pretty good penny for it back in its day with all the work that was done.

I just talked to Ron a little bit ago. He has tons of pictures of when he owned the car and used to hang out at Bussey Woods. He painted the inner fender wells gold and found one of the several build sheets that were on the car. This one was behind the inner fender well; he also assured me that the plastic on the seat covers was there since the day he bought it. The reason he was able to track the car down years ago, was because he was using the vin number off of the build sheet he still has!!! How awesome. It’s all because of this Yenko website, which made it easier to locate owners.

He is going to look at it, he can't remember exactly what dealership it was, he thinks it was C and E, but isn't quite sure. He is going to look at and call me since he has my phone number now. I can't wait to see Renee's link, and see all the pictures, maybe she can post a picture of the build sheet they have.

This is a very AMAZING story!

Only on Yenko.net! I am also very curious as to where the car was sold new at!

After not being able to get on the linked website I finally got on and saved the build sheet to my hard drive. Here is the picture for anyone wanting to see it...

Yes it is called Busse Woods. We hung there a lot. I sent you his number so your questions will be met from him directly. The plastic on the seats where there when he bought it. He never wanted to take them off. Now that I am in the reminising state I will share some pics with you all. I am going to make a page on "Ron's cars". I will leave a link shortly. Renee
