Ronnie,

If I had a vote. I'd say restore it and enjoy the car. From the looks of it, your car appears as I wish mine had stayed before I decided to cut it. That was in 1979 and "hey", there were still quite a few 66-67 Chevy II's still around.


There's a place in Louisville, Kentucky, actually south of there, Chevy II's Only (502) 239-8487. they've got almost anything you need for these cars. They also get used oddball stuff from time to time.

Ronnie how about a SS 327 stick car!!!! Way cool trust me. Ed

I know Bill Zaskowski sold his Chevy II a number of years ago and got it back. He runs it with a 283 in GT/J now.

Hi Mike,

We picked up the car in Morehead, KY from the Martin family. We sold it to them in 1988. Cool story for you too. Yes that is my Dad and that was his Chevy II post car. Dad bought his Chevy II from Scott Wilcox. He sold it to Rick Young.

I still am running my Nova I bought in 1979 as a 6 cylinder powerglide car. Started out as a 350 bracket car. In 1985 turned it into a stocker after going to the 85 Worldfinals. I was hooked.

Ronnie,
I met your Dad at Clay City about 88-89 when he had the blue and white chevy II looked at and talked a little while loved that car The Chevy II I wanted for a long time was the ex Joe Hoffer 66 red &white wagon Randy Centers had it for awhile.
My old 69 nova is for sale and 30 miles from my shop but even though my wife and cruised in it when we were dating we don't need it back.
