Here's a couple that have slipped through my fingers. Both were heavy restorations, the ragtop being about 70% new steel. Each also had a healthy 454 in them. I likes my big block chevy's.


Here are a couple links to some short clips of the 66 being driven. Not very good quality but it sure sounds nice.

Did anyone notice anything strange about the hood on the red car?

Here's mine... 72 Mach 1, 351 Cleveland, 4 speed... 43,000 miles, 99% original.... and the first car I ever rode in.... Dad bought it new, and brought me home from the hospital in it when I was born....

She doesn't look all that great right now, but in 4 years, for my 40th birthday she's getting a full restore.... ;)
