I think there are far more restored chevelles out there than most realize. The reason you see so many modified chevelles is because we arent as afraid to drive them. We dont have a high dollar restoration of a numbers matching valuable car to worry about some other jackass wrecking. My car was modified to beat hell when I bought it, thats what appealed to me, no guilt, no remorse for anything I wanted to do to it, and if it gets wrecked I fix it and move on without the guilt of "i wrecked an original car". Museums and collectors across the country all have very nice restored chevelles, guys like Gary and John and yourself all have very nice stock chevelles in your garages.

In 34 years I think their will still be a huge number of stock and/or restored chevelles sitting in these garages and museums, and a huge number of modified chevelles running around too.

I like to see cars in all forms. Stock is fun for me to look at, being born in 1974 I wasnt there for the musclecars new, and I do remember riding around in some of my parents cars. So its fun for me to look at stock cars and compare them to what we have now, but for driving I prefer a little more fun under the hood and my 5 speed to get me down the highway with decent mileage and a sane rpm level.
