Not a cool car story, just the truth, of what I know. The cool story is what the car was, back in 67. The cars racing story ended way before 1977. And to the odometer, not even close. Will post again around 11pm est, Have to go out. Ron

Adding to post: I started to tell you about my uncle eddie, I don't know exacty when he purchased the car from my father, I think it was around 1980, If I remember correctly I think he payed 2k for the car. Some how the chevelle ended up sitting out side my grandfathers garage ( Seaside Garage ) on Henry Street in Bridgeport Ct. This is where the chevelle went down hill, It sat between junk cars and tow aways, for years. Every time I seen Eddie I would ask to sell to me,When if he was going to sell it, he would sell it to me, As you know that never happened, I found out he sold the chevelle to a friend named Tom from Trumbull Ct. I was very upset. I would of sold everything for this car, not because of it being what it is, because it was my fathers and if I did restore it, it would be priceless because I would not have sold it for any price.

When it was at Seaside Eddie did a few upgrades, like adding shaggy rug, blue and white, right out of a 70's show. but I never seen the car move. Now the badddd! While sitting out side Seaside, someone climbed under the car and stole the trany out of it, not the best area. This is want I was told way back, I believe it was the orginal trany not the clutch-flite, not sure. Other additions were side pipes, I didn't like then.and I believe he added roller rockers to the engine. for what, the car never when anywhere. Now the big OUCH. Eddie did take the car out and hit a parked car. took out the nose and the right side frame rail.
