69 Chevelle SS in the new Transformers movie
(Preview)
Just saw the new Transformers movie with my son. They had a 69 Chevelle SS in the movie? It was the same color as Jon H's convertible, but a coupe with black vinyl top. Don't know that I have seen a 69 in a movie before? Great movie, non stop action. The Megan Fox replacement was very nice, if I don't say....

Sick of the rain

It sure is quiet on here for ANOTHER rain day. What's everybody doing ? I would think Back to the 50's was a wash today. We are getting ready for our BWCA trip and hoping it doesn't rain the whole time we are up there too. Might be a very short trip if that happens. 3 days away from "Summer" and I'm s...

Well as far as I could determine this looked like a pretty good block; but who know. No visiable bolt hole problems, repairs, etc. Deck look good, no indication of water corrosion due to a bad head basket. Appears to be standard with a ridge on the top of the cylinders. Appeas to have original caps with...
