About the car

About Me

I have made my home in Northern Connecticut. I have been a Chevy enthusiast since I was 14! I have bought, sold, restored and traded my share of cool Chevy’s. The list includes, but will not conclude with, five Chevy II Nova’s, 1964 Chevelle, 1970 SS Chevelle, 1972 SS El Camino and a 1975 El Camino which I am currently restoring. I am proud to say that I have added the 1967 Camaro to my list. This car is the ultimate childhood dream come true. I hope that you enjoy my site. Please stop back frequently as I will be updating the site as summer approaches. Take a moment also to sign my guest book; your comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
