This car appears identical to one I recall seeing on the showroom floor at Richard Buxbaum's Classic Motors of Hinsdale (now Continental) circa '77, or so. I believe it had 2900 miles showing at the time.

Tenney
Thats this Chevelle.
I also have the issue of Hemmings Motor News from 77 advertising it for sale.
Richard Buxbaum also worked with Jack Douglass for a brief time.

Thanks for your reply, mr70. Would've loved to have scored that car back in the day (wouldn't mind having it now, either), but was 17 at the time and couldn't come close to swinging it. Would likely have more than 4k on it today if I had, though. And so, for survivor fans everywhere, perhaps it's best I was dough-free that day.

Buxbaum was cool to show me around, I thought. Think he had a '69 396/375 Camaro SS as a driver (silver/no stripes) at the time. 6k on the clock as I recall.

BTW - not to cast aspersions on a beautiful car, but was told there was a subsequent trailering incident involving the Chevelle. Appears to have been just a rumor, though, fortunately. Glad to see it's more than alive (and kicking, no doubt, on the rare occasions it's driven).

I don't know anything about a Trailer accident,but I do know it did get t-boned in an intersection back in the late 70's.It had to get a new hood,and Fender,and inner wheel well back then.
We did a owner history search to cooberate the story.
We found that these body parts were resprayed Lacquer paint back then.Also that oil psi gauge cut into the dashboard.Not meant to take anything away from it today,as it is a great Chevelle in my eyes. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Perhaps the trailer deal and the t-bone incident are one and the same, mr70 (they do have the letter 't' in common), as the time period of the fender-bender that you referenced coincides with what I was told re: the trailer mishap.

FWIW, my story came from a fellow in S. Illinois (circa '80-'81) who had a '64 GTO showing 4k on the odo for sale. I'd seen this GTO at Classic Motors of Hinsdale a few years prior, and this lead to a discussion of various Buxbaum cars, Chevelle included, and the subsequent tale of the trailer.

The guy in NY is backing out of the deal, which is ok. I might relist it...but would appreciate any futher info,stories, etc.....Thanks for all your help!! Steve [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
