This is the first half of a 1,600-mile trip which includes two classics which together were parked for 44 years, a flight, sleepless nights, and plenty of wrenching! This 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle was very well taken care of. It has a 307 small block chevy, original to the car, backed by a 2 speed Powerglide transmission. At one point, restoration was started. It received a lot of bodywork and beautiful blue metallic paint. The car was parked in 2003 after it's inspection ran out, so it's been sitting for 17 years. Do you think it will start, and drive 500 miles to the new owner?

  • There is just something about this Chevelle that speaks to me. When I see an original car with humble little features like this, it just makes me feel happy. Nothing dramatic or flashy; just a good looking body with a nice set of curves, a lovely color with plenty of chrome trim, nice interior, simple wheels, and an unmodified engine and drivetrain. I would absolutely drive something like this every day!

That 307 is solid, not a power house, but it wasn’t meant to be. You are inspiring me to bring her back to life.😊

Loved your assistant and how you work with him on the big '68 Buick boat recovery too. On this one: I was surprised at the lack of A/C.
