Hello all, new to this site have had a spot in my heart for Chevelles since I was a little one. Growing up a lot of family members owned Chevelles and when I was 13-14 my father purchased a 1968 Malibu. We restored the car and when I turned 16 (1988) he handed me the keys. When I was 23 I found a 69 SS in a barn minus motor and trans. My father and I restored it. I sold the car when I was 26 to a good chevelle buddy. I made him promise if he ever sold it and I could afford it I'd buy it back. I was able to buy back my old Chevelle last year. It was tough going 17 years Chevelleless but worth the wait. So I have a 69 true Daytona yellow SS with a 454, autogear 4 speed and 4.10 12 bolt posi. Joined because this site seemed more respectable and there seems to be an abundance of Ohio/Michigan folks here. Hope to learn more and maybe help some out.
Thanks Bob

No I have never been but been on my to do list. My son and I just went to local shows this past year. Been out of the car show/swap meet scene for a while trying to get back into it.

Thanks everyone for the comments. Hopefully I can get my son interested in old cars and get him off the electronics for a bit.
Ken love the 70 I'm digging the Cragars. I'm still lost in the 80's love the old school look.

Welcome to the site! Its a great group of people here and they have a ton of information if you have questions. You've got a really nice looking car and good story to go along with it. The northern ohio chevelle show is amazing if you get a chance to go. I went for the first time last year and had a blast.
