    Celebrating our 52nd Wedding Anniversary with my Bride today!

    I know...income tax day. We were in love and could care less about taxes! ❤️ Here is a selfie pic of us on the Gettysburg Battlefield on our 48th!

    Can't sign in on Team Chevelle Site...definitely a computer thing

    Anyone have this issue? I've received some support in the Bench Racing section as I can still post via my phone, but my computer has locked me out. Does not recognize my user name....I changed my password using my phone and that worked on my phone, but I still am not recognized on Team...

    Car Cover Woes (Outdoor)

    This question can apply to any car, but I put it on here since the cover from Covercraft that I am talking about on my '19 Jeep Grand Cherokee is the same material as the outdoor cover I have for my '67 Chevelle (I also have a really nice soft indoor cover which gets used the most). The...

    Anyone watching Barrett-Jackson right now?

    I admit to being an addict....been watching Mecum & B-J for decades! I just saw a real nice '67 SS Tribute 454 sell for $55,000! Nice black on black example. That's strong money however for a non-138 non-matching numbers car imo. But some buyers could care less about originality, repop...

    Looks like a Paint Code E-E '67 Camaro...really pretty!

    What do you all think about this one? Asking price is $67,000! Of course I spotted the color (my favorite, like my old Chevelle)...I think Deepwater Blue Metallic is a gorgeous and rare color...

    Auto Insurance Companies....I need to switch I think!

    I finally got to reviewing our 6 month renewal for Allstate for three vehicles, 2 MINI's and 1 Jeep Grand Cherokee. My rates jumped 18% for the Jeep and 22% for both MINI's!!! When you're retired on fixed income this stuff really matters!!! What is going on? I've had Allstate since first...

    This should be a good auction on ebay to watch! Original numbers matching 1967 Camaro SS/RS, original paint, original owner!

    Enjoy! Will be interesting to see what the market is doing right now!! https://www.ebay.com/itm/325946674456?hash=item4be3ef8d18:g:nIsAAOSweQFljjRd

    Mizzou wins Cotton Bowl

    My alma mater, the University of Missouri just beat Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl! 🏈👍 Next is the Peach Bowl and Penn State! Ohio State seems to always beat my team Penn State so I’m a happy camper they finally got wooped!

    Looking for Advice for Tires on my 1967 Super Sport

    Did all Chevelle Super Sports in 1967 come with red line tires? Mine did...they were not optional. They were all F70-14's. Later on, I did run raised white Goodyears (wide ovals) as I recall...still F70-14's. I ran so many wheel & tire combinations back then I forget where they all went....I...

    Door Lock Knobs - Correct Original Color?

    I found these buttons on Ground Up, supposedly like the originals. Zinc platted chrome look. For a black vinyl interior, I seem to remember mine on my original '67 bought new in '67 as being "black", but then again it's been awhile! 🥴...

    This Deepwater Blue '67 on Hangster's caught my eye!

    Set up just like my old original L78 Chevelle when I sold it! :cry: Tempting but I already bought "Big Red". I still prefer the Bench Seat though (and that's one reason I grabbed my current '67)...

    Searching for a good fitted car cover for my Jeep Grand Cherokee

    Hey everyone, I’m disappointed in my latest car cover for my 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee that sits outside all the time. It’s an Evolution IV all season custom fitted cover from Covercraft. Grey in color. Over the years I’ve probably bought between 10 & 20 car covers for my vehicles (both...

    Need Low Beam T-3 for ‘67

    Drove my new to me ‘67 today for the first time! About time right? Well, I am slowly finding things that need attention. Good news today is I found the wipers actually DO work! I didn’t think they worked but the car wasn’t running...DUH! So much of this car is original it’s a time warp. I...

    What's the true Value of this '67 Chevelle SS L78 Car? Is it even real?

    Saw this on Hemmings: https://www.hemmings.com/listing/1967-chevrolet-chevelle-125932 If it were real, I'd say it could be worth that much, but look at it closely. Quality just isn't there imo. The description is innacurate. Engine stamp is not shown, and there's no paperwork establishing...

    1966 Chevelle SS 396 Danube Blue over Black 360HP NICE!

    Ok everyone, while perusing YouTube this morning I came across this very nice '66 Chevelle in the same color combo as my long gone '67 L78 Chevelle SS, and I'm quite smitten by it as you seldom see these dark metallic blue Chevelles these days! Danube Blue and Deep Water Blue are basically the...

    Getting my '67 on the Lift (Finally).....Questions

    Well, today I finally started to tackle getting under my '67 to check things out, clean and touch-up spray as needed. I have a 9,000 Lb. 2 post lift which I've used many times on my BMW's/MINI's and my son's DeLorean, but this is the first time for me with an A-Body Chevelle with frame. On my...

    Adjusting a noisy valve lifter on my '67 L35 396

    I knew there was a noisy lifter when I looked at the car online before purchasing "Big Red" last year, but I am finally getting to attending to mechanical things on my mostly original '67 Chevelle SS (Atlanta build). I doubt this engine has ever been messed with internally as it's original to...

    What Rear End came in the 1967 Chevelle SS 396-325 hp (L35) if not specified by the buyer in 1967?

    My recently purchased '67 SS seems to be a rather highly optioned car, but when looking at the axle housing the numbers/letters are very hard to read. It's likely an open differential since the car is an automatic (TH400) and only the L35 396 is in there, so I'm not holding my breath. From what...
