They are still out there. this vet was found in a barn in 2004 by a developer who called a friend of mine who then purchased the car from the widow that owned the farm that she was selling for a housing project. my friend owned the car from 11/15/04 to 04/26/12 at which time I purchased the car. he was always going to restore the car but never did anything with it. it just set in his barn until I talked him out of it. I called the widow to talk about the car and she believed they were the second owner and she gave me the name and address of who she purchased the car from. I then called that person and found out they were the original purchaser of the vet and we had a great chat and they had sold the car to the second owner in 08/16/89. so I believe I am the 4th owner of this car and I do have copy's of 3 of the tittle transfers. the original owner called me about 6 weeks after that first conversation to tell me they had the protecta plate and wanted me to have it. I sent the car out for a complete off frame, ground up restoration, absolute no shortcuts were taken and received the car back on 09/17/12 at which time I had the car appraised. this is a genuine numbers match, date code match car. even the starter, alternator and carb are the ones the car came with, rebuilt of coarse. I did put radial tires on it so one could enjoy the ride and yes did upgrade the clock to quartz. I have put 148.1 miles on the car since the restore just to make sure all is well. decision time. if you are looking for a trailer queen just to bring to the shows this is it, if you are looking for a car to just drive to a few car shows this is it or if you are looking for a dependable driver this is it after all it would be your money. I could not drive the car and lower the value and I am not a car show guy so I could not make the decision. this car needs to go some where a lot of people can enjoy it. please ask all questions before bidding or come and inspect the car. all sales are final. cash, wire transfer or certified funds. certified fund must clear before pickup. you can email me your phone number and I will be happy to answer all questions or set up a time to view or if the question is does something work the answer is yes. yes they are out there. a original 1969, 427, 4 speed, convertible side pipe car in the original color, Daytona yellow with the protecta plate. don't pass this up.

for all the people who do not know what a full restoration is i will try and answer all there questions here. yes the transmission was fully rebuilt and resealed, the rear differential and axels were fully rebuilt and resealed, the clutch, pressure plate an t/o bearing are new, all new brake rotors and calipers, all new springs front and rear, all new steering linkage, steering gear rebuilt and resealed, all new brake and fuel lines, engine complete rebuild with new valves, guides and seats,bearings, rings, cam,lifters, new carpet, new top, new leather seats, the entire insterment cluster sent out and rebuilt, new wiper moter and vaccuum canister, starter rebuilt, alternater rebuilt, carb rebuilt, correct glass in the car, new side pipes, new gas tank, frame sand blasted, repaired, sealed and painted. the parts with casting numbers and date codes were rebuilt rather than replaced to keep the vehicle number matching and date code correct.i hope this answers all questions and if not you should get the idea of the detail that went into this restore and if not keep sending those questions
On Jul-07-13 at 05:47:41 PDT, seller added the following information:
to answer a lot more questions at once. the car does have tilt and telescopic steering column and yes it was completely rebuilt also. all of the chrome pieces have been rechromed. the radiator, heater core and blower motor have been replaced. the suspension has been completely rebuilt all new bushings, ball joints, etc. the gear ratio is 3.70 the astro vent system has been rebuilt and I know I am missing a lot but you should get the idea no shortcuts were taken on this car. last but not least the paint job is second to none, it is drop dead beautiful. plus the sound of that big block 427 from the factory side pipes that sound has not been rebuilt, just bone chilling

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Impala bi-fuel sales; VW e-Up fire
Tue, Dec 15 2015Chevrolet has delivered about 200 units of its bi-fuel Impala so far. The automaker originally planned to begin sales in summer of 2014, but was delayed over a year due to quality concerns. Now, the bi-fuel Impala, which runs on both gasoline and CNG, has begun delivery, mostly to commercial and fleet customers. The car begins at $38,210 (including destination charges), and will be available at 3,200 US dealerships. Production of a 2016 model is underway. Read more at Green Car Reports. The US Department of Energy (DOE) has announced $35 million in funding for hydrogen and fuel cell technology projects. The money will support research and development, manufacturing, and early deployment of the technologies. The DOE also wants to bring together consortia to work together on fuel cell cost, performance, and durability, as well as hydrogen storage research. "As FCEVs become increasingly commercially available, the Energy Department is focused on advancements to enable hydrogen infrastructure including production, delivery, storage, and manufacturing, as well as continuing to reduce fuel cell cost and improve durability," the DOE said in a statement. Read more from the DOE. A Volkswagen e-Up! caught fire after a collision with a train in Norway. The driver, Christopher Traasdahl Saether, was able to jump from the electric Volkswagen before the train hit, and was physically unharmed. It also appears that there were no injuries among the passengers on the train. "It was quite a way to start the day," says Saether. A photographer at the scene reported that the car burst into flames when a salvage crew attempted to remove the wreckage from the railway crossing.

Leno drives Ringbrothers' latest, 1966 Chevy Chevelle Recoil
Tue, Mar 3 2015Jay Leno has been checking out quite a few older rides in his garage as of late, but has mixed things up a little this week. Ringbrothers took home an award at the 2014 SEMA Show for the 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle it named Recoil, and now the car has proven it can do more than just look good on Jay Leno's Garage. While the latest guest might look vintage, underneath those classic lines is a thoroughly modern muscle car sporting a claimed 980 horsepower. The heart of this beast is a supercharged LS7 V8 from Wegner Motorsports and a six-speed Tremec manual gearbox. Even with so much power, it can still run on 91-octane pump gas, and when Jay gets on the throttle the result is a wall of sound from the wailing supercharger. Despite the muscle, the Recoil doesn't really scream about its performance aesthetically. The color is a surprisingly plain beige, but the carbon fiber touches and side exhaust certainly indicate that there's something special here. The owner's sole request for the car was to include metal seats, and Ringbrothers provided them with a few bits of leather offering a touch of comfort. After checking the Recoil out from stem to stern, Leno finally gets behind the wheel and treats our ears to pull after pull from that big, supercharged V8.
