Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
seen one sweet car today.
roofing a retirement complex and at lunch an old fellow around 75 yrs old comes out. he pops open his garage door to get his mazda, and sitting beside it is a minty mint '70 Chevelle. i ask him, 396?, he's like no, 454, i'm like sweet-LS5? he's it's more like an LS7. then he tells me it is an LS5 that has been worked over and puts out close to 700 hp.
car is 100% stock and orig except for the motor work, and he said he got the paint re-sprayed in 2000 (classic red with black SS stripes). other than that, 100% stock, int., rims....
was not what i was expecting in a retirement home where everyone is zippin' around on electric golf carts.
then the guy told me the kicker-he's the orig owner, bought it brand new in 1970. bought brand new and still owns it 52 yrs later! he showed me all the paperwork for it, orig price was $5236.
so wish i had had my camera today, it was an orig beauty
