Don't shoot me, it isn't a Chevy!
 

I posted this on the other site as well but I know some of you frequent this one more than that so I thought I'd share here too!

I know this is a Chevelle site and we all get up in arms about Mustangs but I believe most of us are just car enthusiasts and the car I am posting photos of is well....just a work of engineering art in my opinion.

I went by the speed shop yesterday to pick up a part for the Corvette and one of the shop owner's friends had his latest project in while they were working on getting all the wiring done on the interior. The car is simply amazing and the level of detail is in a whole other league beyond what I am custom to seeing.

So this is the car. On first glance, just a little 70 Mach 1, nothing too special, just a well done car right?

I think the wheels look good on the car

The owner also has a 69 Camaro with a complete Z-06 swap done the same way, interior and all.

Wow that is very nice. I wonder where the drive line could of came from?

Eric, one of the things that we wanted to accomplish with this site was to be able to welcome ANYONE with ANY KIND OF CAR. When grumpy and I started this site we researched so many names and decided on the Chevelle Forums name because of my passion for the beautiful styling of Chevelles, Malibus, El Caminos, and Beaumonts.

I just want this site to welcome anyone with a passion for their cars. Honestly, a beautiful car is a beautiful car. I don't care what factory it was built in or what name is on the name plate. There are people out there that don't believe that you should change things on a car, that a car should be brought back to original. I respect those individuals and their dedication to preserving the history of some of the most beautiful classic cars. But I also, as your pictures above prove, want to welcome people who have a vision on what they want in their cars and are so creative in making that possible.

Many of the Classic Car enthusiasts have an attention to detail that is unmatched anywhere. And I want everyone to feel welcome here.

By the way, love the pics and the story.

I bet that car handles insane! I was lucky enough to ride in a Ford GT when they first came out. The car was stupid fast for a showroom stock vehicle.

I like it better than the GT ,that thing rocks . That is my favorite bodystyle of Mustang .

I second that .

That's one cool car

wow really a nice car,... :) :drunk:

He's back with more Spam..can we contact him to help him spell Chevelle.

That's way cool! I've always said, I'm a HOTROD guy, not a Chevy guy or a Ford guy. If it's cool, I like it. ....and that thing is COOL!

I agree with you Alan. Yeah, I drive a Chevy, but I appreciate a beautiful car. No matter what it is.

Everyone should own at least one Ford and what a Badass one to own.

wow now that is nice!

Thought I'd share the newest addition to the owner of the Orange GT above's fleet.

He just picked up this one owner, locally owned, 1967 GT500 last night. This car has every single piece of imaginable documentation that could possible go with the car to include all the original purchase literature, bills of sale, transfer docs from Shelby to the local GA dealership as well as things like maintenance receipts, the very first tag receipt, etc.

The gentleman who bought the car new passed away a few years ago and the wife only wanted the new owner to have the right to buy it. This weekend the plan is to change the rusted out fuel tank, prime it and see if it will run. He said he only intends to get it road worth enough so that he can drive it and will leave everything else alone. Once word got out that he had it in his possession, there was someone trying to get him to leave it 100% as it was pulled out of the garage and take it to Barrett Jackson but he refused. He has been trying to get the car for many years and now that he finally owns it he doesn't plan on selling. I couldn't imagine how much a car this well documented would bring but it was definitely cool seeing it delivered to his shop!

Awsome.
I like all cars. I just prefer a chev for my own.

Awesome 'Stang Eric!!

When my son was born ('73) and I was working at the Chevy-Tonawanda engine plant, my daily driver was a '68 500KR...also equipped with those two Holleys.
Always liked how the factory shoulder harness was attached to the factory roll bar. The upper side scoops are functional too...vents open with a slider knob on the inside.
Does this one have the tilt away steering column...snaps to the 1:30 position every time the driver's door is opened.
Car ran mid 11's @118 mph.
Header install is the WORST job ever on that car.

I don't think this one has the snap away column, otherwise I would have noticed when I was prodding around inside. The harnesses are pretty cool, along with all the functional vents.

The headers are no joke, the worst thing I have ever seen! From my understanding, there are 4 bolts around each pipe and absolutely NO room to get to 90% of them!! We were actually joking about that yesterday when we were looking the car over!

Changing plugs on that bad boy ain't no party either.
Worse years ago with the best ignition was only a dual point distributor and plug changes occurred often.
Good news though...that Top Loader trans and the 9 in rear are damn near bullet proof!! Ford used "N" castings on rear's chunk, IIRC.

No mention of a posi on the window sticker. My friend's uncle has a 68' GT500 with a factory 3.50 geared open rear. It's surprising how many rolled off the assembly line like that. (One of his neighbors has a 68' GTE Cougar with no posi also.) I remember racing the car back in HS when I had my 69' SS 396 L78 4 speed car. We were both on street tires, but my car served up a nasty ass whooping every time.

Wow Eric ,I love that thing .

One very cool car
