going thru old pix and found these...
...I ordered this car new in the spring of 1969 and owned it until I went in the USAF in March 1971.....69 Chevelle SS 396/375 4-spd...the car was originally triple black but I had it repainted "Steel Cities Gray" after some minor altercations with other objects, it even had a long tear in the hood from a fan blade coming off when it was almost new...2 engines, 2 trannys, clutches, 5 sets of tires and 80K miles in less than 2 years...it was a very tired car, but still ran like a champ...no power accessories of any kind, it even had a manual convertible top
...while stationed overseas in 1972, I heard the car was destroyed by the next owner
