About Str8upChevy’s Garage
About me and my passion for cars
Started in 1975 when my brother-in-law picked me up from school in his 1969 Camaro SS with a 4spd and a 4.11 posi. That ride home changed my life and created a passion that has included 4 Chevelles, 2 Novas, and 10 Camaros over those last 25 years! I guess it goes without saying: "I'm a Chevy Man"!!
My first car
White 1966 Chevelle ~ Built 350/TH350, 3500 Stall Converter, 12 Bolt Posi w/4.11's, Ladder Bar Setup, Centerline Auto Drags! It was my Uncle's Steet/Strip car until he bought a Pro-Mod '66 Vette. I bought the Chevelle from him in 1982 when I was a Junior in High School.
Car I wish I still had
My Black 1967 Nova Super Sport It was restored up in Canada by a guy who spent 4 years on it and over 22K for the total rebuild. It was in showroom condition and had a high gloss finish that was smooth as glass. I can only imagine what it would be worth today. Either one of the three 67 Camaros would work too!
My dream car
1967 RS/SS Pro/Street Camaro with a 472ci solid roller small block
topped with a 8-71 Blower. Tubbed w/a narrowed 9" rearend, a 4 link suspension with coil over's. Built TH400 with a 9" 4500 Stall Converter. The body channeled about 3" over the frame and a 10 point cage. High gloss Black with HOC Candy Tangerine Flames, purple tips and royal blue pin-striping. A full 4" Flowmaster Exhaust System. I'd say by the time I hit 50 I'll have it sitting in my garage. (That gives me 10 years)

- Good, after all the time, money, and all the problems with your painter I'd hate to see you lose it.
Congrats on the house too! Hope you have a large garage.

- Thanks Kolin, actually it only took me 8 months to transform it from "bone stock" to what it is.
What up Cips, I've been in Las Vegas spending time with my Oldman. His Cancer hasn't consumed him yet, so we're out having as much fun as possible while he still can. I'll try to get online a little more as time permits. Thanks for your concern Bro!!

- Thanks Bro!! Yeah, I'm hoping to sell my Condo by Spring so that I can head down to SoCal no later than Summer of '07
Not sure where yet, but any place in Southern Cali is better than Seattle. I'll know by the end of Winter.

- Arch.....you already know my thoughts. Your a good guy with awesome taste and motivation. You've found yourself in a better place with that car. It's no mistake. If I'm ever around I want a ride in that mad machine! Still moving south?
