Mom and dad got the van new. It was a national rental car under the GM buyback program. 10 thousand miles when they got it. 5 vans in 94 had more options. I got the sheet with the statistics.
It was totalled at 6 months old. Insurance put a new front end on it. It has a bulls eye on it because it been totalled 3X since I have owned it. I welded in a new core support and put another front end on. 2 X-mas ago the drivers side was taken out. New door and massive body work to the drivers quarter. Gettin me warmed up for the chevelle painting it every few years. Other total was a joke the sliding door got hit. Easy to fix.
Now the hot rodders stuff you really care about. I got 295/50/15 indy tires.
Black interior I had to make my self. I rebuilt the rear end. 3.42 gears and detroit locker. I rebuilt the engine after a oil line broke. I ported everything. Intake heads and exhaust manifolds. Decked the block. Crank kit, acid washed, rings usual stuff. Comp Cams .500 lift roller cam 210/215@50
3 inch single exhaust into a thrush muffler.
It ain't a chevelle for sure but it beats Z-71 trucks and mustangs at will. Fun to drive. Tides me over till the chevelle is done.
200W stereo all the silly stuff DVD TV SD card player bluetooth back up ability, I don't have a camera. Little tach in the cup holder. Kinda incognito.
I owned this thing 12 years I only have ever owned 1 car longer. This chevelle I got 6 months before the van. She grew on me was so dependable I fell in love with the old girl and souped her up as my family car daily driver.
4.3 she was born with. To the right the boxes are the new radiator support and front end parts for the chevelle.

Worst looking total.
Horrible pic cig smoke but the new radio and tach.
Door to rear wheel was mashed. This was the I got er done shot of the
damaged area for my van forum.
Painted before the bumpers went back on after the last time I got hit.
Stobe stripes on the lower part of the van. Can't see them in normal shots. See my chevelle in the reflection. My 2 babies always together, LOL.
My office chair in my shop. Cable, computer, stereo, My man cave hang out. But this is a fairly recent pic. Chevelle is to the right just out of sight.
