Cars worth 30 grand as is to the right person. By the way Patrick have you ever ran across one of these chevelle owners who were perhaps misinformed and thought that they knew all about these cars? In other words have you ever had to school someone who didn't know what they were talking about? Would love to hear any of those stories you might have. Great find as usual Patrick....appreciate your love for these cars and all the hard work you put into bringing us these videos.

An army buddy from Cleveland had a 1969 Chevelle with the 396/375 hp mill,.......and when he stabbed that bad boy going down the ramp to get onto the breezeway,......that motor rocked you back in your seat bug time. Pete K really loved that car.

I bought a 1970 desert sand with black stripes Chevelle SS in 1972 with 18,000 on the clock that was sold originally by the same dealer and was a new car trade in for the princely sum of $2200. Car was 402 Turbo 400 column shift with cloth Goldish/tan colored interior with a bench seat and was 100% original as it had rolled off the showroom floor new. Was a super nice car, I sold it about a year or so later to buy a '66 389 Tri Power 4 spd GTO.
