well he found me! he saw my craigslist for my rx7 for sale. noticed my chevelle in one of the pictures and sent me an email asking me if i had any pictures of the chevelle. I told him yes i do. why do you want to know?
he replied and said "i think this is my old car"

so i emailed him back and i asked him to give me some details of the car before i send you any pictures. this guys sent me every detail of the car down to the T!!

turns out the seat that i bought was the original seat. This is amazing getting all the info and the story behind my car! i don't even know what else to ask him!!!

That is so cool to know the former owner ,I only know the history of one of mine .

Seems like your car stayed in the same area. My two cars came from other states, NC & WI. I'll most likely never know much about the history of them.

finding out a lot about my car. one thing that stands out is that it use to run 10.40 in the 1/4. the original motor is still around just in parts. it was a 396 but he poked and stroked it to a 439 and ran a lot of NOS. we are going to try to meet up some time this weekend or next he is going to dig out all the videos and pictures. I told him i want to make copies of all of it and he was like that is perfectly fine! can't wait
