70 Chevelle SS 396.My brother brought his home at the beginning of the "energy crisis" in 74 and I was hooked. I later owned two of them. My first and most loved was Blue with White Stripes and a saddle interior. Some fucking drunk decided I shouldn't have it anymore and that was that. I bought my second one from the original owner in 1980. It was complete but tired. 396/TH400 like the blue one. I rebuilt that bastard from asshole to appetite at a time when Year One didn't exist and if you wanted parts you scoured bone yards till you found em. It was green mist with a green interior. I fucking HATED the color but I'm a believer in stock is the way to go so I left it that way. I owned it for 9 wonderful years and sold it to finance my move to NY to pursue music. I've never forgotten either of them OR my brothers SS (probably the nicest of the three) Maroon/White Stripes Black interior 4 speed. I had a pic of each of mine turned into posters and framed them. They are on my office wall and constant reminders of how LUCKY I was to have not just one of them, but two.
