Hello all I am from Wv and I have a 1967 super sport 396/375 4 speed. I have owned it for 17 yrs, I bought it in 1991 and when I was 16 my dad and I restored it. To make a long story short, the car is my families life in Oct 2002 in was stolen but in March 2006, I found it on Ebay and recovered my car.

Hey its no problem, I am super happy I got to spend that time with my Dad, we still have his 67 rs/ss matched number 42,000 mile that he bought brand new. We take alot of pride in what our Dad taught us. Just with my car I have won awards at four national shows. Good-Guys, Camaro Nationals, and Super Chevy.
