Mine was a 396 SS Chevelle. Wished I kept it.


What..get outta here! I don't believe it! My 1st car was a 1970 Chevelle SS 396 ;)

Yeah...and I know what toy you're talking about that brings that big ole grin to your face too! The one that turns you into an adrenaline junky :evil2:

Does it have 3 tires, that it only uses when it's resting?

Yep! That would be it...recovering addict here ;)

IJ - That year Morano had a 350, correct?

Loved that Chevelle...kick myself in the arse every time I think about when I sold it. Didn't handle all that great, but it was typical for the day...to heck with aerodynamics, lets use torque!

I come from a land down under
John:

3.3L I-6
4.2L V8
5.0L V8
350 SBC ;)

Mine had the 5.0L but I ended up swapping in a built 327 then the next one I bought had a 350 which eventually got swapped out for a Crower injected 427.

Dub: No fair. You cheated for your junk. Got it free while I had to pay...for both of us ;)

Jag: 500 mph in those desert school zones really tends to upset the locals ;)

GotToy: Memories have to start somewhere. Soon you'll be yelling at kids to get off your lawn ;)

Fidgit: The car will donated to charity and written off my taxes. The charity will destroy it in a way thousands of people will enjoy. I've done it before. I didn't care for it all these years just to have it end up in the hands of some youngster who'll hack it up or wreck it. It deserves to die at the hands of it's original owner. Think of it as putting a old dog to sleep rather then giving him away.
