Wow!
Great story and pictures!
The end of this post should be moved to Members Rides.

Any pictures of it Pre-clean-up?

it should be against the law to "restore" cars like that

if you had 2 of the exact same cars, one "restored" and one like this one, the original will have people 3 deep stretching their necks to get a look at it while the "pretty" one will be all alone ...

Ain't that the truth!.

The car is stunning and it's great to hear it's not going to be restored..

Is Dave's site and great information he compiled gone forever?.

There is a possibility that we may be able to test this theory at the upcoming Chevy Vettefest.

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for sharing your story with us. I was at the same hotel as you at Chevellabration. I was surprised to see your Z16 parked right below the balcony of our room.
After talking with you for awhile I knew you were the right guy to own this car.

I'd also like to see progress pics of the other Z16.

Jeff,

We were the 69 Chevelle guys and ONE 70 Chevelle guy....at CB08.

Great Car!

Dan.

Talk about a small world. Jeff the day you picked up the red chevelle from Dave M. I talked to you. I was picking up the floor pan to the 67z I had bought from Dave. I don't know if you remember but the guy that was with me kept telling your wife since you got the car she should be also getting something also. I was on your side and asked him to shut up. It was nice meeting you that day. I also miss Dave. Kim Howie P. S. What a great car.

Sooo...how about resurrecting an old post! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]

I am very pleased to <span style="font-style: italic">officially announce </span>that Mr. Helms has agreed to head up our &quot;show within a show&quot; feature for the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals &quot;Class of 1965&quot; Invitational display this year.

We look forward to hosting what may be the best gathering ever of restored and unrestored 1965 Z16 Chevelles ever gathered under one roof.

If you own one of these very significant muscle cars, please let myself or Jeff know.
