Helmut wanted me to post this picture. I know there is not much to go on but can anyone make out the decals in the window or anything else. Looks like a mid 70's Caddy in the background.

The decal on the right looks like the early Winston racing decals. Can't make out the other one.

You guys have keen eyes to recognize those... but I think you might be right. They sure look similar.

Looking at this photo... actually, staring intently at this photo... I can't help but wonder if this could be a photo of my Chevelle back in the day?
Yes, there were a lot of 1969 Chevelle's out there, but here are my observations (and wishful thinking): Tuxedo Black 1969 Chevelle - check Super Sport - check No Vinyl Top - check No D96 Side Stripe - check Manual Driver's Mirror - check Front Antenna & AM radio - check Appears to have a Black Bench Seat interior - check I can't tell if this Chevelle had Front Guards, but my Chevelle did not. Those look like Ansen Sprint wheels to me, as described by Howard the original owner - check This Chevelle has Ladder Bars, as described by the original owner - check Is that a Fly Eye Air Cleaner under the hood? Original L88 apparently had 3 BBL Carb - check? I can almost see the bulge under the car from the Stahl Headers and chambered exhaust? Like I said, I've been squinting a lot! The only difference I see, is that this Chevelle does not have wheel opening moldings... but any 1969 Chevelle SS would have had those. Evidently they were removed from this car. Any other observations? ![]() Have I been looking through rose coloured glasses? |

Good chance that is you former Chevelle.....but there also may have been one like this at every race event.....across the country on the weekends. Sunday, Sunday, Sunday! Keep digging Helmut ![]() Dan

Helmut did your car change hands in the mid 80's out of CT? I have a clip of a black 69 L78 Chevelle out of the local want adds from that time frame.
