Sometimes life gets in the way.... Just as I started looking for one, my first wife was diagnosed with Cancer, she passed away man year and a half later, then just as I was getting my life back to normal my dad was diagnosed with cancer and was gone in less than 6 months...
It was a tough two years.

I have seen this car in person at some car shows....it is every bit as gorgeous as the pictures look...and the pictures don't do it justice. This car is drop dead gorgeous when you see it in person.

I wish I had some digital pictures of the 56 210 my dad built, just to share the love of the Tri Chevys

1967 Was a magic year for Chevy. '67 Camaro SS Coupe, '67 Chevelle SS 2 door coupe and '67 Chevy II SS 2 door coupe. Given the choice I'd go tasteful resto mod. Jetstream blue, all pwr options, including PS/PB/PW/PL/PM cammed, coilovers, lowered, shaved door handles, bucket seats front and back, hi end audio glove box mounted. A guy can dream, right?
