Lake Marion Collision
(Preview)
I stopped by Lake Marion Collision today for my regular job. I couldn't stay, but I did look in the shop area as I was passing through. I saw what looked to be a 57 chev under plastic sheeting, a 69 Chevelle, a muscle era MOPAR, and several in stages of diassembly that I couldn't identify. There was one body...

How to tell a '69 SS vs. clone?
(Preview)
Derek, Jon, Chris (or others), what are the features of a true '69 SS Chevelle? I'm looking at a '69 and I'm sure it's a clone, but would like to know what badges, gauges, suspension, etc. an SS usually has. I know all the '70-72 differences, but not the '69's. Thanks, Stan

Anybody know this Chevelle?

This is the Chevelle I saw at PanOProg last Friday night that was for sale. Anybody know who owns it or how to reach them? It's a '69 (I think) with a BBC, auto, buckets. I have some serious buyer interest on mine and might consider this as an option for the next one!
