Ken Preston #306 Tullahoma, TN '69 SS396
Ken's Butternut yellow '69 has had a frame off resto, and it's paid off with an AACA Senior award, a feature in Muscle Car Review, and a spot on a musclecar calendar. Under the hood is a 325/396 backed by a TH400.

William Roche #135 San Diego, CA '72 Malibu
William drives this Jaguar racing green beauty on a daily basis, and claims he's got it about 85% restored. With 100,000 miles on the ticker, the 350 small-block and TH350 trans are still running strong

Edward Pater #360 Wolcott, PA'64 Malibu
Although originally equipped with a six-banger, a Powerglide, and, as Ed puts it, "non everything," his '64 now sports a warmed over 350, a TH350, and a Wild Strawberry basecoat/clearcoat over all new sheetmetal.

Randy Nielson #130 Clinton, IA '66 SS396
The 375-horse big-block was top dog in a '66 Chevelle, and that's just what lurks beneath the hood of Randy's Regal red Sixty-six! It's backed by a four-speed and a 4.10 gear, helping make it a cooker as well as a looker!!!

John Stocker #505 W. Jordan, UT '71 SS454
With a last name like Stocker, you might expect John's Chevelle to be just that. And it is , with the exception of a hotter Isky cam and a set of Cragar SS wheels. The 454 is backed by an M-22 and a 3.31 posi.

Rick Eckenrode #560 Belair, MD'69 SS396
For his first car, ever, Rick chose to purchase this beautiful Shadow gray '69. It features a 375/396 and neat options like factory gauges, sport steering wheel, rear defroster, AM-FM, bumper guards and ultra-rare headlight washers.

Billy Lambert #367 Courtland, AL '66 SS396
Billy's gorgeous Marina blue Super Sport has been off the frame for a total refurbishing. Redline tires, a four-speed tranny, and "bottlecap" wheel covers enhance its purely performance image; front and rear bumper guards are nice add-ons.

Marty Moss #282 N. Ogden, UT '66 SS396
Marty lusted after his buddy's '66 SS in high school, but lost track of the friend and his car after graduation. Unbelievably, he located the same car recently, and is currently giving it a "period" restoration, just like it was in high school.

Jeff Cardwell #149 Annadale, VA '69 Malibu
Numerous upgrades make Jeff's '69 an exceptionally strong street cruiser. They include a warmed-over 4-bolt 350, M-21 Muncie, and a 3.55 12-bolt posi. He's also added f&r sway bars, disc brakes, and a Smokey Yunick (unique?) air cleaner.

Kermit Morrison #497 Hazel Green, KY '67 SS396
Kermit's black on black '67 chews up the competition thanks to a 375-horse 396. Factory fitted with a bench seat, four-speed tranny and a 4.10 rearend, he's also added a set of real wire wheels, making it both fast and classy.

Gary Parker #503 Miamisburg, OH '67 Malibu
A 283 with factory air conditioning make Gary's Mountain green Malibu a real comfortable cruiser. Other features include tinted glass, a black vinyl roof, wire wheel covers and f&r bumper guards.

Ed Orbea #456 Boise, ID '69 SS396
After owning a '69 SS396 in college, Ed sold it due to high insurance and fuel prices. He replaced it years later with this Monaco orange example. The full restoration took 29 months to complete, but we'd say the time was well spent.

Cliff Willoughby #519 Hamilton, ONT, Canada '67 Malibu
Powered by a 275-horse 327 and a four-speed transmission, Cliff's red ragtop is the epitome of summertime fun. It's also equipped with a 3.55 12-bolt posi, power steering and brakes, and bucket seats.
448.jpg
Dave Dawson #448 Kirkland, WA'72 SS454
Drop tops are always nice to own, and we should all be so lucky as Dave, who holds title to this gorgeous yellow Super Sport. Cowl Induction and an M-22 help light up the tires at will, which are mounted on Centerline wheels.

Don Johnson #476 Kent, WA '66 El Camino
When Don brought his El Camino home, it was, in his words "pretty rough." He's remedied that, though, and now it's just "pretty." Motivation comes from a 327/four-speed combination, and it's painted an eyeball blistering yellow.

Nat Farrar #439 Tullahoma, TN '70 SS396
A lot of time, effort, and money have gone into making Nat's '70 the fine showcar it is today. Correctly restored right down to the last nut and bolt, it does quite well at the shows its entered in, and has received an AACA junior award.
