"With all due respect Howard, that car should NEVER be restored. Worst case, the hood, deck lid and rear panel should be repainted in DuPont 99L and the rest of the car should be left as is. This car can still be a rolling encyclopedia for restorers for years to come,.................... in the right hands."

My thoughts exactly.
No disrespect Howard,but what you are suggesting to do is like throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
Who ever painted them on should be ridiculed for what they did,but don't take it out on the car.

Was not the Black LS-6 Chevelle brought to B/J by Mark Young(aka The Z-28 factory). Interested to read if anybody challenged MR.Young on the incorrect stripes.

Bruce,if you see this guy again let him know this car is no longer "The Benchmark" of Ls6 chevelles,and that if he is the one that applied the stripes he is a total D-bag!

You guys need to make up a big "REVOKED" sticker to slap on his display poster. Kinda like those orange violation stickers they slap on your car window if you park in the wrong spot.

Thanks for the pics Bruce,I am enjoying them with my guys at the fire station. Is the green 1969 COPO Chevelle the one that use to run around the Hamilton Ontario area a couple years back by chance? It was always at shows with a Yenko Nova which I know is still in my area.

No offense taken. The damage has been done and can't be undone...painting the deck lid, hood and panel back solid black still require "new" paint. The benchmark claim is lost and it shouldn't be advertised as such but I'm not inclined to tell someone how to raise their kids or how to keep their cars. I don't agree with adding the stripes to this particular car but if I wanted to control what happened to it I should have bought it. It has sold at least 3 times in the last 3 years and is for sale again. Anybody who feels strongly about the car can get a bidder number and get at it.

And there you go...

BTW, I was in a media briefing...and who sat down next to me? Matt Stone...part of the on air talent at BJ. I casually mentioned that the black Benchmark Chevelle is no longer that...and is a pretty big story on the muscle car sites. He found it really interesting. He also said to email your opinions/concerns/shout outs...whatever....to [email protected] and who knows what might happen?
