The true tale of an unrestored,35,000-mile Dusk Blue '69 L78 Chevelle four-speed.(Sept. 2018)
I'd put whitestripe tires back on it.....and a trailer hitch.

Am I missing something? What's the "Why me?" title for?

It’s like the mob-always getting pulled back in. No matter how much he tries to move on, drive a Lucid, simplify, etc., he always ends up buying a really cool ‘69 Camaro or Chevelle that he doesn’t need. Even though he’s previously owned half of the cool ones extant. Don’t stop being you Charley.

You pretty much nailed it. Kevin actually called me for a phone # of a guy he thought might want it. I texted him the #. A couple days later after thinking about it I told him I would take it since he still had it. He brought it to my house in Az. I asked why my idiot friend didn't buy it. He told me I never gave him the #. I said "Yes I did". "No you didn't" "Yes I did". We both pull out our phones and look at the text. Yes the # was there."Son of a bitch I probably could have gotten more money" " I thought you were hiding him so you could sell it to him". The funniest part was a couple days later I sent my idiot friend pics of the car. He then calls me a son of a bitch for getting it as he knows the car. I then have even more fun telling I was contacted for his #. Some things are just too much fun.

Looks like the right rear wheel cylinder may be leaking...


and look at that Blue floor.... does it really look blue in person, or is that the lighting ?

Probably blue over spray and lighting. Was undercoated and Kevin spent forever cleaning it off.
