This Fathom Blue 70 Chevelle SS convertible was sold new at Hult Chevrolet in Madison WI. It's my understanding that this car has its original drivetrain and two original build sheets. I've seen this car at a number of auctions over the years. It didn't sell at Indy in '20, but it did sell for $350K at Kissimmee in '21.

This 69 Trans Am convertible was sold new at Arnold Pontiac in Houston PA. It is 1 of 1 with a Parchment interior. This car was purchased by Ted Gallas in the mid 70's. At the time it had a big block Chevy in it and he didn't know it was a Trans Am. He later found out what it was and restored it in the late '70's. He wrote in to Hod Rod magazine telling them about the car and his letter was published in the September '79 issue. This car was later part of Brett Torino's collection and was among a group of cars that Dana Mecum purchased from him. It was on display at this auction with a number of other rare cars.

Thanks for posting all of these amazing pictures.

With the price of resto mods these days, anywhere near $75K for that '57 seems like a bargain.

Yes, thanks, great pictures!

That L35 '66 Chevelle and L72 Impala were well bought!
