  • Vehicle Overview

    I have owned my Chevelle since 1993 when I was 18 years old. It was a combination high school graduation and Christmas present. We had looked at faster cars but my dad thought this was much safer since it is a factory power steering and power disc brake car. After daily driving it a few years we bought a 69 Camaro from a family friend for my sister and switched the engines. Putting my stock engine and me the RHS crate engine from the Camaro. The engine was bought in 1989 and has never been apart. Heads have never been removed. Intake has been off for painting. Shortly thereafter the rust started appearing. Starting in the front fenders then the quarters. The car sat for years in various states of disrepair while I tried to save money for sheet metal and body work. Around 2007 I had met my now wife and we sold my 1st house and the profit made it possible to finally restore my Chevelle. I spent the next 18 months completing a frame off restoration 9 months of which was body shop jail. In 2008 I took it to Cruisin Ocean City for the 1st time. I have spent the last 10 years enjoying the car at cruises and car shows with my wife and kids, but have gotten the racing bug again.
