I think that it would be cool to actually talk to the original owner. Just to hear all the excitement in their voice when they talked about the car. You are a lucky guy !

ya he was a 69 year old man . he used the car for a comp car for his comp most of its life till 78 when he gave up on it . id jus be a happy guy if he would come off all the chrome and rear panel to put 66 tail lights back in it lol

So how did you happen to find the car ?

i had a 95 mustang gt had blown motor but had motor went with the car and a guy asked if id be interested in trading n said hell yes . even tho the chevelle needed more or lot more work then the stang . n way i seen things theres millions of newer stangs out there but not many chevelles . but when i got the car it came with some org paper work for the car and i looked up guys name online and found his number so gave org owner of the car a call . and i was shocked when he told me he gave the car to the guy i got it from . but o well im jus hopin can afford get somethings done to it and make it a driver for weekends prob or nice days but im sure in time it wont take long . it needs lot work but they dont make cars like use to i luv old cars

You have a 66 bumper on there because the backup lights on a 66 where in the taillight housings and on a 67 the backup lights are in the bumper. The trunk lid is the same for a 66 or 67.

It is amazing the things that people do to cars. Some of it makes little or no sense. But maybe it is just what was available.

I may need a lot of work, but like many of our cars, it will always be a work in progress. We all look forward to watching your progression.
