I was at a local cruise nite this past Thursday, and again yesterday, and at both, my '66 was the only '66 Chevelle there- At both shows, there were some '67's and up, but no '66's. So, I was feeling pretty proud of the year I chose to restore- Got alot of thumbs up too!
A friend of my neighbor's even offered to buy my car- said he'd been looking for a '66 to restore, but that all of the ones he'd looked at so far had shot frames (either alot of rust or were simply bent). Are '66 2-door hardtops/sport coupes maybe getting harder to come by??
