Chevy family
I am proud to say that I am a Chevrolet man. My whole life I was raised around Chevys, but it was not until I turned 16 that I began to appreciate the cars my father owned.
When I turned 16, my Dad owned an gold on gold 80 Malibu with a 3.8 that he drove to work everyday and I asked him if that could be our project car. We decided just to start out by painting it and changing the interior. We painted it a dark claret maroon, with maroon interior, put a black vinyl top on it and put Cragar 5 spoke wheels. I am 20 now, and we are finally in the process of building a 350 with bowtie heads and installing a cam. We are also building a Turbo 350 tranny for it. I bought a rear disc brake set-up for the car. The car is absolutely beautiful though.
In 1999, my grandfather passed away, and in his will he handed down to my father his 66 Corvette 427 425 horse that he had bought new. It still has the original paint and suspension. He drives the car everywhere, and has raced it at BeaveRun in PA. I received a 67 Camaro REAL RS/SS 350 with a 4-speed. Black with Black vinyl top, red interior, and red bumblebee stripe. Of course, right now I am getting a college education, so I cannot play Camaro.
In conclusion, my Dad and I are now rebuilding his marina blue/blue interior 66 Chevelle SS 396 360 horse 4-speed car that he bought when he was 16. We have another 66 Corvette Conv. 327 4-speed, an all original 66 Chevelle SS 396 325 horse, 71 Chevy C-10 with a 427, 700R4 tranny, 94 Chevy 1500 Silverado, a maroon 2002 Monte Carlo SS, 66 Elcamino, 85 Corvette and a 81 Impala Stationwagon we just painted. My family has always been into Chevrolets and we plan on not changing.
