Bill Pritchard in 1991 Muscle Car Review

[Postsedan]

Looking through my magazine collection I came across this article on page 72 of 1991 Muscle Car Review, October Issue.

Bill, it`s such a small world. Got any pics of your wifes former car. Some guys were just born to own nothing but convertibles. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

One more that wouldn't show up in the other post for some reason [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]




I did a frame-off resto on this car from 1991 - 1994. These pics were taken around 1999 or 2000. We owned the car for 18 years and had a LOT of fun with it [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

There's little doubt that someone specifically ordered this car. For the most part, it originally came equipped like many in the day: 210 hp 327 (the base 8 cyl engine in full size 69 Chevys), Powerglide, power steering, AM radio, tinted glass, manual drum brakes. But then the two oddball options on an otherwise fairly basic car: power seat and Positraction. I added the 15x7 Rally wheels, G70-15 redlines, and AM-FM radio.

I was able to correspond with the original owner (a woman from the NW side of Chicago), who said in 1976 she traded the car in on (in her words) &quot;a closed car&quot; when she became a grandmother and had grandkids to transport. She purchased the car new from Brigance Chevrolet in Oak Park IL.

Thanks to everyone for the kind words [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/youguysrock.gif[/img]
