At the ripe old age of 15 (1987) I bought my first 1969 GM A Body.

1969 Beaumont (with Chevelle front clip)

Side note: Soon after a girl caught my eye and this car took a back seat. You can see the church we got married in, in the back ground of the photo, we walked across our neighbours back yard to get to the church on time…. I forgot the rings so Dad ran home and got them :-)

LOVE a 69 Chevelle!!! Funny - a chevelle was my first "want" a 1969 at that! but would've taken a 66-72. My dad and I looked and looked at every Chevelle around for over a year. This was 1987-1988. With his encouragement to consider something other than a Chevy, I began to research a bit more.
He suggested i look at Buicks , Olds and Pontiacs and offered to match every dollar that I saved so I could get a much better car to start with.
Not long after we found the W-31.
While Ive never owned a chevelle I did recently purchase my next project.
A 1968 El Camino SS396. Maybe that will fill the chevelle void?
