So, did the early Flint built cars have the aluminum data plate masked off like the Fremont built cars did ??

I see “day 2” side exhaust, cool.

Thanks, Chris

That is the 1st 66 or 67 I have ever seen with transistor ignition. I've always wondered where the box would be mounted. It happens to be in the same basic location as my 67 W-30 442. You have a relatively rare Chevelle there, my friend!......Bill S

I haven’t pulled front drums to see what shoes are there. I’ll do that today.

I would say mine is original. You can see where it looks like they lay something over trim tag and spray firewall

I’ve known about car for a couple years never saw it. Got a message with pictures last Sunday morning that car was available. I was first one in. I gathered up trailer and the usual barn find extraction equipment and headed out.
Car was purchased by guys father in 1970. Parked it in 1975. It’s numbers matching complete solid car. 1 repaint. Solid floors. Original 55 year old top that is in remarkable shape.
Only thing missing is carb, fuel pump and fan “it has a flex fan on it”
It has a couple day 2 items. Thrush side pipes and dual electric fuel pumps mounted back by tank and what looks like homemade traction device
I’ve had a couple cool finds in my day but as of now this ones my “holy grail” find.

This is a WOW find !
 
Keep it, drive it, or stick it in the corner and stare.

It’s vintage art on four wheels.

Congratulations.

Chris.

Anybody ever see a decal like this. Its located on the drivers side vent window on the chevelle. A friend of mine who has a ‘69 L78 car bought new at same dealership as mine and has the same decal on his car told me the dealership owners son said they put these Bowtie decals on cars they sold so their gas attendants knew car was bought new at dealership and it entitled them to a discount on gas.
