I have never seen a '69 with skirts. The attached photo is supposed to be a suvivor. Have I been living under a rock or did they exist?

Guy is in Illinois and is legit. I got my asking price! Was happy that I made $3K over my costs! Better than losing or breaking even like on my 1971. I think at $21K it did well for a clone/tribute car and it brought Chevelle money. Not sure what I am doing next. Going to take my time and look for a good pr...

- Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets. I asked for a half dozen nuggets. "We don't have half dozen nuggets" said the teenager at the counter. "You don't?" I replied. "We only have six, nine, or twelve" was the reply. "So I can't ord...

Last week at the GTO show Kevin asked me why I had a vinyl matt in my trunk. I said how else can you get the floor to rust quickly. The conversation went further to see what others were doing if anything to stop the evil trunk rust. Jim had a carpet between the matt and trunk floor to allow air to circulate....

Yikes, the approaching line of thunderstorms are on a line moving east that extends from southern Canada south to central Nebraska about 650 miles long. Very impressive, looks like we’re in for a blow. Good news, this system should bring some cooler weather.

While I was putting in new front brake shoes, I notice a tear in the rubber seal of the upper ball joint. Not that big a tear. I filled the joint with grease.
