Continuing on my quest to clean out the house, every time I think I'm
done finding car stuff, I trip across something else.
This time, I found a pile of car calendars I was keeping around at one
point because each one had at least 1 nice photo of a Chevelle.

Hi Chevelle people!
In parting out the last of my Chevelle parts, I have a driveshaft that
came out of a 68SS396 Chevelle. I'm not sure if it came out a manual or
automatic car. The length of the shft (shaft only, NOT including the
yoke) is a little over 49".
Any idea which my shaft is? (a loca

They are worth more than that. Big items don't sell well on Ebay because
of the freight cost. I would guess they are worth $75-$100 each to
someone who wants a core for re-plating. Maybe you could do a local add
on Craigslist to see if someone close by could use them.

The brake lines I have are all the front ones for a 68-70 SS with power

Here's a weird story for you fellow restorers,
Two years ago as part of restoring my 69 SS, I discovered from the 2nd
owner of the car that the original owner bought the car at a dealership
in Virginia ( I live in Pa.). I sent a letter to the dealer asking if
they had any records of the sale of m

Sorry, I don't have anything in the driveline (the guy who was parting

I parted out a 68 SS a couple years ago & got a bunch of miscellaneous
used parts (note: they are USED, but they are original, not repro).

My dad, my brother (73 Rallye Challenger & 87 T/A) & I (69 Chevelle

There's a car the opposite of this around the Kennett Square, Pa. area
(69 rear end, 68 doors with vent windows and 68 style wheels).
I only see it about every 6 months or so and have never seen it parked
where I could take a close look at it, but I always figured it was a
homegrown collage.
Awhile back when I had a problem with mice in a garage, I bought one of
those electronic gizmos that puts out a high pitched noise that drive
mice away (bought it at Home Depot or some such place) and that seemed to
work pretty well.
For whatever it's worth,

What we did on our 69 was to leave the original windshield washer bottle
intact, bought a 2nd one & mounted it as a "mirror" image of the original
one over on the radiator cap side and use that as the overflow bottle.
That way, all the parts are "factory" & everything looks "symmetric".
