Vehicle History
This chevelle was originally purchased 8/14/1970 in Pacific palisades CA. Original protecto plate, owners manual, and service records are included which document the original owner until 1996. Documentation stops in the early 2000’s after the second owner purchased the car. I am the third owner and bought the car with under 65,000 original miles. This car has lived its whole life in the Los Angeles area and always been garaged. Original rust free sheet metal made this the perfect candidate for a restoration.

This is not your average run of the mill chevelle being sold on ebay. This car flat out performs and is a blast to drive, temperature runs cool at 180 degrees even when sitting in traffic on a hot day. I would not hesitate to drive it daily or across the country. Please feel free to ask any questions about the car, although most everything should be answered above.
