I kicked myself in the A$$ for not painting it Tahoe Turquoise, instead I painted it Black. Here is a couple of "As Found" and "As Completed" pictures @ Dana Mecum's Auction in St. Charles Illinois back in 2006. That's the first time I met Kwizz and TimG. Great people. Bill


As Steve said, the lighting had a lot to do with it appearing more Blue in the pics. From the moment I saw it at MCACN, I knew it was Tahoe and it looked like it had never sat in the sun, ever. Your poor Chevelle was all weather beaten and faded. I'm sure if you had seen one in the true color, you would have gotten over the desire to paint it black very quickly.

Yes, I am very sure I would have elected to paint It Tahoe Turquoise if I would have seen this SS-427 Impala prior. The reason I painted it Black, was I had a 1967 SS-396 Chevelle in Black with EVERY option you could get except A/C in High School. I traded it even up for a 9,400 mile, Rally Green, Hemi Road Runner that I have talked about many times before on his site. History, It's Fun to re-live it when you can afford to. Bill

The Vintage Certification display is usually the first place I stop at the show every year. Thank you to Steve and everyone that makes this happen. This display alone is another great reason to attend MCACN if you haven't been before.

This car was not only a Time Capsule, but our first Mopar. Enjoy the many detail shots and the jewels of information from this example.

It was really fun to look that car over. It WAS "new" and as clean and original as the day it came from the dealer. It still smelled new inside.

Steve....Do you remember the owners name on the Camaro?
