Haha, yeah... bought new in '67 with the RS/SS package and 396/325 engine. Fairly rare, from what I understand. My dad started racing with the 396 but eventually swapped it out for an aluminum 427 (ZL1) with tunnel ram, dual electric fuel pumps, etc. The car received a drag racing suspension, full roll cage, and Dana rear axle. All told, it was putting down mid-10's in the quarter mile, and that was with four-speed.

By the late 1970s he was getting out of drag racing and decided to sell the engine (yes, I know), installing a 350 in its place. I'm currently working on swapping a 396 back in and getting the car running again. It still has the original paint (sans decals) with 14,000 miles on the odometer.

Hey, a fellow Pittsburgher! I'm a bit east, used to live in Monroeville but I now reside in Murrysville. I own an '86 IROC, hence the name .

Hey Andy, welcome to the site. When I met my wife she was living in Murrysville on Himalaya Drive in the Shangrala development. She graduated from Gateway High. I have lived in Oakland, Shadyside (wrong side of the tracks), and Squirrel Hill. If your family's Chevelle came from the factory with A/C it was the 396/350HP version. Terrific vintage photos. Thanks!

I grew up in Shaler and am living in Gibsonia now. I have an 85 ROC. I always liked the third gen Z's. Good luck in your search. Does John Deveraux Jr. have anything to do with Deveraux Chevrolet? I think they are gone now too though. There is a Deveraux Motor sales in Freeport, PA. It might be worth a phone call.

Very cool pics of the Chevelle towing the Camaro. Who was the original dealer for the Camaro? Was the original color black or one of the other dark colors? It's a little hard to tell. I wish you good luck in find the Chevelle. It would be neat to get them both together again.
