I sold Dave this car in about 1987. It also is a CA high desert car, the floor pans are so clean that the original paint, oversprays, and factory undercoats were preserved. Total original panels of course. I restored the chassis in 2006, it's been a long road since then with a final push began about two years ago.

This L35/M20 Chevelle has a nice selection of options including factory 8 track player, tilt wheel, tach and gauges, and CA smog equipment. Sold new at DeAnza Chevrolet in Riverside.

It was, quite literally, saved from the junk yard! My old friend Gordon moved to CA forty years ago, working for Lockheed in Lancaster. He calls me one day, "Billy, we gotta save this Chevelle or it's going to the junk yard". IIRC I paid $450 for it.

Update... Chevelles in the Smokies 2022 is in the books. In addition to being awarded Best in Class, here is a very emotional Dave carrying the Best of Show trophy. That punch bowl is filled with 500 $1.00 coins.
Dave's lifelong dream has been to own a nice '67 SS396 in his favorite Marina Blue/Bright Blue color combo.

I was fortunate enough to be able to see this car in person last month along with the rest of Bill's collection. What a neat car and in unbelievable condition. Amazing what a little elbow grease and cleaning supplies can do.
