Hi All... I have four hot rods or should I say that I’m blessed with four of my all time favorites.  When I was 16 in 1967, I went from the DMV and my new drivers license straight to De Anza Chevrolet and on the showroom floor was a 1967 Chevelle SS 427 Convertible Blue (the color of a Schwinn bicycle, special order) with black buckets and a 4-speed. I believe the car was special ordered and the invoice price was $4,300+-.  In any case, That was $4,200 higher than my budget. You see I just sold my Grand Champion FFA Pig for $95.   Sooooooo, I bought what the budget could afford a ‘54 Chevy Wagon for you guessed it $95 bucks. Would have liked a Woodie but that was $400 higher than I could afford.

Now, I have the Woodie, a ‘46 Ford w/350-350, A/C, PDB. After chasing the SS 427 Chevelle Convertible (always out of my price range) you see they made a limited number of  SS 396’s, fewer convertibles, and only a handful of SS 427’s and the Convertibles were  special order only (known as COPO’s). I’ve been told a mere 5-7 of those exist as “numbers matching”.  One documented numbers matching SS 427 ‘67 Convertible just sold at Pebble Beach for a whopping $170,000!!!!!!! Sooooooooooo, I’m building my own. I consider myself fortunate to find a new old stock ‘69 Corvette aluminum-head-open chamber 427. The pictures depict the motor on the dyno or known as “The Chamber Of Truth”.  Yes, it pulled five-hundred and three horses (503 HP) and 411 ft-lbs of torque. The two other Hot Rods & Customs are a one owner.  We are the 2nd owners, 1965 Buick Riviera, the wife’s driver and a 1957 Buick Caballero, the River Runner boat-tow vehicle, I don’t have a picture of the Buick’s, what’s up with that!!!!!  The pictures of the ‘47 Cadillac and Chic was just a chance “Kodak moment” at 2003 Wavecrest-Woodie meet, she just happened by and was not associated with the car!! So, goodbye for now! Brent!!!
