Great looking car Rick. Keep driving and enjoying it. Looks like it needs nothing to me. Please NO trailer queens. We have enough of them.

Rick...your car is beautiful! Did you choose to change the color when you re-painted it? Looks to dark for Cortez Silver now, looks more like Shadow Gray which looks really good on a 69 SS Chevelle. At any rate your car is truly gorgeous, you did a very nice job keeping her that way for so many years!

Back in '86, I had no interest in leaving Cortez Silver on this car, didn't "jump" like other colors. I liked Shadow Gray, and that's what I picked.

Since basecoat clearcoat finishes have gotten better over the years, I may consider a return to the original colors, but not anytime soon.

Thanks!

Rick...Your Chevelle is WAY cool! I love the fact that you've kept it all these years...and that you are still so passionate and involved in the car world. With all of the judging/helping out that you do...it's amazing that you still have time to take pics as well!

I, for one, cannot wait for you and Claire and the rest of the family to make the move out to AZ.

Thanks again for sharing your pride and joy with all of us!
