I consider myself the same, but in the “stacked headlight” 65-67 GTOs.

I’ve been buying, selling and researching these cars down to the correct Factory overspray for 43+ years now.

I’ve always dealt with the Survivors or once painted Unrestored cars such as Bruce’s 66 Chevelle in this thread.

If I were to be at a car show and saw Bruce’s patina barn find off in the distance, I would certainly walk right past all the bright shiny restored cars (dime-a-dozen) to enjoy how the Factory built it.


My enthusiasm on this “as found car” caused me to misspeak on some Chevelle facts. My Bad.

I need to stick with what I know best, so as not to be scolded in front of the class. Too old for that experience!

BTW, assuming the Chevelle automobile was built on the same time frame as other cars, I’ll stand by my statement of “Relatively Early” on Bruce’s car.

Build year - Aug, Sept, Oct = about 13 weeks
Rest of build year - Nov. - July = about 36 weeks.

Have a Safe Day, Chris.

We all learn as we go. I’ve learned a lot on this car and I’ve been around them 40 years. It’s awesome to be able to look at something that hasn’t been cut up and molested.
