    Wow! That motor definitely sounds angry & I can't figure out why because it's sitting in a car with probably the best interior I've seen in awhile and the exterior paint just looks like liquid. So glad he made the long drive for the cruise and took the time to hang with you afterwards.

    Stunningly great build all around but you can really see the time that was put into the body and paint. It’s like a sheet of glass down the sides, gaps are spot on, subtle and tasteful mods like shaving the drip rails. ‘69 is my favorite year of Chevelle and this one is just stellar.
