I just turned 35 last month and work as a transpotation dispatcher for a large restaraunt co. in No. Cal. I am married for 10 years(!) to the woman I met at work in So. Cal when I lived there for 30 years. I miss Frisco's drive in cruise on Wednesday nights in Downey. Also Super Chevy events in Bakersfeild. 2 kids, boy 7 and girl 2. And of course my 70 which I have owned for 14 years now and bought off the original owner who lived in Anahiem Hills CA, who the woman gave the car to her son to drive as his first car, but could care less about it and let it go to he!! because he wanted to drive his Bug instead of the velle' so picked it up for a song. Lucky me.

33. Married with a three year old boy. I do nuclear physics research and also teach physics at UNC-Chapel Hill. I really enjoy working on the old Chevelle -- it's sort of become my rebellion against our disposable, new-is-better, throw-it-out-and buy-new-one society.

39 pushing 40 this summer. I'm a computer/software engineer with the USAF in NM. Married, two boys which the younger one, age 2, who loves Chevelles (says vroom vroom constantly and likes to help me read my Super Chevy mags).

I am 28 years of age, recently married, bought a home, and have a baby boy on the way. Whoa!!! http://www.chevelles.com/forum/eek.gif Slow down dude. That's a lot of accomplishments in only one year. Yep, I don't procrastinate at all. No time wasting here boys. Seriously, I love my wife very much and very exited that I will be a father in July. I work at Utah Federal Credit Union as the Assistant Manager. I've been employed for 3.5 years and still enjoy my job. I hope I don't get fired soon because this would be a really bad time. I owned a 71 velle back in 98 for about a year. Later, it was hit hard in an auto accident and now I am the proud owner of a 70 velle. Just could'nt be without one. I love working on it and should be terrorizing the neighborhood this summer. I also have my eye on a 69 El Camino, but don't tell the wife that.... http://www.chevelles.com/forum/biggrin.gif

I'm 34 yrs old, married for almost 10yrs to my high school sweatheart. No dependents yet, but one on the way (due in September). I have a BSME from Northeastern U. and work as a packaging/assembly engineer at and electronics company.

I'm 17 and I had the privelege of performing a frame off resto on my 70 Chev SS at such a young age. I know that when I get as old as most of you guys I'll know even more about these cars that rule the streets thanks to everyone here!

39 years old, doing a life sentence in the British Army, 21 years completed so far!

I'm 23, Dad's a mechanic, stumbled apon the Chevelles when a friend bought one. Been working pretty much full time since I was 16 in the Telcom field/Systems Admin. CS degree will be coming this May finally! Only have one Chevelle right now, thinking about picking up another one, this time a '70. Although I have a bug for wagons, I might be getting a "regular" two door. http://www.chevelles.com/forum/smile.gif

I am 26 years old, and I am a horsepower-addict. (Is this like chevellaholics-anonymous?)

I am a petroleum engineer, married with a 4 mo old baby girl. I've had my '66 for 12 years (first car). It has had at least 7 drivetrain transplants (didn't keep track very well) and it currently undergoing a frame-off.

I'm 47, married 28+ years (hope I got that right?), one son 26, one daughter 25, both married (YEAH!!). Work at Delta Air Lines as a mechanic based in Atlanta. Build computers as a hobby. Recently bought a 67 El Camino to "tweak" into a street machine/saturday nite cruiser.

Well, I think we did this before but what the heck, there's a lot of new(er) people since then. I'm not 50 yet, married 2nd time and wish she had been the 1st. (She loves the smell of racing fuel and even knows what tri-power is) http://www.chevelles.com/forum/biggrin.gif 'Tween us we have 5 kids; 4 boys and one of the other kind, ages 19 thru 28. I've been in law enforcement for 24 years (Has it been that long?) My first 13 were on the street, now I'm part of the Administrative Services Bureau. (reads; I don't write tickets anymore) Traded a '72 Elky for my '67 Malibu plus some goodies, and have been working on it forever. Well, maybe just 2 years. http://www.chevelles.com/forum/smile.gif Problem is, with 3 in college, there's more time than money for dad's toys. But it runs now, and I can drive it, so making it pretty is the next goal. Have loved Chevys all my life...got a 283 block with 2 bushel baskets full of engine parts for my 9th birthday. Went for schooling in mechanics but life wouldn't allow it, so I use it for sanity reasons, though most of you guys probably forgot more than I can remember. That's why this site has been so helpful to me. http://www.chevelles.com/forum/cool.gif

What a diverse group of people we have here!

I am 29 and work as a Firefighter (8 years) in a suburb of Detroit (Westland). I have been married almost 5 years and have a 1968 Chevelle Malibu that I have owned 5 months!

38, married since '85 to high school sweetheart. Two children, Kyle 3 and Shana 1. Also 1 dog - Yorkshire Terrier named Tanji. Civil Engineer employed as Senior Project Superintendent with a national Construction Management / Consulting firm based out of NYC, NY. Got in to Chevelles, particularly '68s at age 8 when dad bought one new. I've had this '68 since 1981, owned several others and a '69 camaro; and was purchased from the original owner with 39,000 miles. Used as daily transportation until 1985 when it was restored / restified - frame up. Primarily just race it now with the occasional cruise night. But after nearly 20 years I finally have the car I wanted in high school.

42 this year, been married 23 years, 2 sons 19 & 15, 1 daughter 10, mechanic on paper machines in a paper mill, numerous toys, main thing in my life is my beautiful wife!!! God I love that woman! http://www.chevelles.com/forum/smile.gif

I'm 33 and married for 6 months. I am a civil engineer with a serious addiction to old cars, especially '66 Chevelles. I currently have a cloned 1966 SS/L78 convertible (almost complete), an '66 L78 hardtop (definite project), and my grandmothers '65 Impala convertible. The wife says three incomplete project cars is enough...

I'm 39. Single, currently. I work for the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, mainly with hazardous waste regulatory issues. I've had my '69 since 1986, and put the crate LS-6 in it in '90. My sister's boyfriend bought a brand spanking new 69 in 69. I loved that car.

I just turned 34 and have been maried for a little over 2 years. We are working on our 1st child (tough job but someone has to do it http://www.chevelles.com/forum/smile.gif ).
I'm a photographer and photograph school kids.

This could be a very, very long string. Mr. D - did you click the email notification box?

One day I was gassing up my Elcamino when a couple of kids drove up and piled out of their car. They walked all around my car oooohing and aaaaahing. It had a fresh paint job 3 months prior. One of the kids asked if I bought it new http://www.chevelles.com/forum/confused.gif Grinning and without hesitation I said "Yip! I bought it when I was 12 years old." http://www.chevelles.com/forum/tongue.gif http://www.chevelles.com/forum/tongue.gif http://www.chevelles.com/forum/tongue.gif http://www.chevelles.com/forum/tongue.gif he kept on looking around the Elcamino without giving it a second thought until it clicked over in his buddies skull http://www.chevelles.com/forum/redface.gif they left amused and I left happy to know that Chevelles and Elcaminos will close the generation gap faster than anything. http://www.chevelles.com/forum/biggrin.gif http://www.chevelles.com/forum/biggrin.gif http://www.chevelles.com/forum/biggrin.gif http://www.chevelles.com/forum/biggrin.gif http://www.chevelles.com/forum/biggrin.gif

I have a 2 1/2 year old son, named him Jake, something not so girlish like dad. My wife and son went with me to Wisconsin to buy the 71 when he was 2 weeks old. He relieved himself on her while she was changing his diaper in the car. She will never forget that day. Besides it was bought with bonus money she got from work! Anytime Jake and I go somewhere if it's not in the chevelle he says "no daddy this one". That's my boy!

I'll jump in too. I am 50, retired (on disability). Been married 23 years this time around. I have owned streetrods, Mustangs, and Corvettes. I purchased my 70 last summer. Love this site so much I made it my homepage. http://www.chevelles.com/forum/biggrin.gif

I'll be graduating in a year and a half and going after your guy's jobs soon....so watch out! In my garage is a '72 SS 454 Chevelle and the one I drive everyday, since the damn gas prices are so high, is unfortunately a honda prelude, but at least I don't have a four inch chrome exhaust tip on her http://www.chevelles.com/forum/smile.gif

I'm 17, I'm a student(when I'm not sleeping or drawing in class), I'm extremely lazy, I have no job, & I work on classic cars when I'm not sleeping or on this thing(which is probably an hour or 2 a day). And basically my job is to watch my little brother while my parents are away so I'll live in their house until I'm 21 years old since legally I can't leave him alone until he's 12 & I'll still probably have no life at that time either. I had a dog(basset hound), she died on Saturday. The story of my life.

Wow some post length!

I'm 19, currently a full-time student studying computer electronics.

I was a modern auto radio repair technician during my senior year in high school until I quit to focus on my secondary education.

In my free time I work on my '70, do web page programming, I'm building original radio info web pages for THIS SITE, restore 1950s-1970s automobile and home radios, design electronic circuits, research Chevelle related info and last but not least, wonder if Britney Spears really does own a Chevelle.

I'll be 52 in April. I own my own business, manufacturing A/C service tools. One of the nice things about being in this business is I have a very nice machine shop at my disposal. It's not automotive but it has a couple lathes, drill presses, horizonal and vertical band saws, horizonal and vertical mills, and a couple mig welders. I do wish I had grinding equipment but can't justify getting any, business wise.

Any car past 1972 is just transportation.

Oh Well. Guess it's my turn. I've been around TC since the spring of '98 and there have been similar topics but none have received the responses like this one. The diversity here is truly amazing and it really does my heart good to see so many young people actively participating in here. It is not just the love of Chevelles and Muscle Cars that we all share; there are also common values and beliefs. I'm 51, retired from the Army after Vietnam with a service-connected disability. I am an ex USCG Master (let my license go 3 years ago). I now work for the Navy's Military Sealift Command (the commercial ship Navy). I have 2 children, one son, 21, who is a newly promoted Sgt in the Army (in 3.5 years), and a daughter, 15, who is a real pleasure and in spite of her many chores around the "farm" is doing great in school and wants to be a Vet. They both make me proud. My lovely bride of almost 23 years is my first and my last. She is very supportive of my "Car Nut" bone and can talk hi-performance with the best of them. All I have to do is support her horse. WRT the horse, below is a post I made on June 20, '98

DON'T DO THIS.
Feeling guilty for my excessive spending I was eager to say yes when my wife wanted a horse. (Reasoning was if she has a toy then I can justify my habit and ease my guilty feelings). In the past year and a half this horse thing has had a detrimental effect on my habit/hobby. This horse thing now includes a 31k truck, a 10k trailer, and several k worth of tack and misc. things. The list goes on, not to mention that this thing eats while I sleep. The horse has more clothes than I do. (Read the above as: new Corvette or 70SS LS6 restored Chevelle convertible) The table has turned. I now have to compete for $. If you feel the need to have your other half doing something that will ease the guilt you may be having. I strongly recommend you encourage needlepoint. I must admit though that "Rocky" is a pretty neat guy and we talk about this problem frequently. He doesn't have much to say and only gives me looks as if to say "well you bought into this and now you've got to deal with it cause I'm not going anywhere".

For all that have joined TC since I made this post I thought you might like to read and heed (just for fun). BTW the one horse has now grown to two (more competition for $).

Since that time it's undergone a complete new engine and most of the interior. BTW, everything that's been done on this car wouldn't have been possible without the support from you guys. This is by far the best site on the internet.

This site is too cool...

I am 31, been married for ten years, have one daughter (4), and one on the way (don't know what it is yet; I hope it's a baby)...

I work as a piping designer and a software administrator in good ol' Houston, TX.

I also have a sickness when it comes to cars... I own seven right now, all in different stages.

I'm a 39 year old steelworker that has 20w-50 racing oil pumping though my vanes and Chevelles in my garage. http://www.chevelles.com/forum/biggrin.gif http://www.chevelles.com/forum/biggrin.gif http://www.chevelles.com/forum/biggrin.gif

This has been an interesting thread. It persuaded me to register and post my first response. I'm 28, single. Mechanical Engineer for an areospace company. I spend most of my time at work and have a garage full of parts I have yet to install on my various projects. I usually use my vacation for that. This tech forum is a great tool for restoration. My 66 just needs paint. My 64 Elco needs everything. The 57 was my dad's car since 1962. My 95 Impala SS is my daily driver. I'm still loking for a woman that will understand all this, but....you know.

I'm 27, with a Bacclaurate degree in criminal justice from the University of Houston - Downtown in May 1997. Currently working on a masters in sociology at UHCL.

I am single forever now (never married), with few friends. I don't have any kids yet, but have a collection of classic auto parts. To this day, I never dated or asked anyone out, since it's a dangerous game. Always wanted a tall blonde with a full figure of an exotic dancer, but gave up on dating 14 years ago. I always "play with the cat" instead of having a woman of my own, and this would be my entrepreneurship and online authoring of my pages.

Hope that no one would send any hate mail on this post, if this offends anyone.

Hi, I'm Justin Wray, living in Bono, Arkansas, which is about an hour east of Memphis, TN. If anybody is in this area by the way drop me a line at TallintheSaddle1@yahoo.com

I'm 25 and a mailhead operator for Quebecor World of Jonesboro, Arkansas. Quebecor is the largest printing company in the world. Just my luck, our plant prints NO gearhead rags.
I have a 430hp (now) daily driver 70 Chevelle Malibu that my father bought brand new as a 350/250hp model with 350Turbo, column shifter, and bench seat. (NO options whatsoever!)
I also have a 66 Chevelle Malibu that I bought about 2 1/2 years ago, originally a straight 6 car. Now it has an LS-3 396/402 with a 400Turbo. Body is very straight with very minimal rust and has what I believe is the original Regal Red paint with black interior. (swivel bucket seats are cool too!) This is currently my project car on the back burner while I get my daily up to street/strip standards.

I guess it's my turn. Turned 50 last year, been working on cars all my life. Some of the better ones were:
1. 63 Impala SS convertable, red with white top. 327 340HP, 4 speed, black bucket interior, tach in the dash. This was my high school car.
2. 57 Chevy Bel Air 2 door hardtop. 350, 4 speed, butternut yellow with black interior.
3. 68 Camaro RS/SS with Z28 badging. Hot 350, M22 4 speed, 4.10 Posi. Yellow with black vinly top and black Z28 stripes, black bucket interior.
Currently trying to get my 66 Malibu back together. 350, 4 speed, Artesian Turquoise, black bucket interior (Must have something for black interiors).
Married for the third time. Two kids from first marriage, two from second. Now have a loving, understanding wife thats great to my kids, lets me enjoy my hobbies and just wants me to be happy. Now if I could just retire or win the lottery......

48 yrs old, married with a 27 year old daughter, four year old Grandson, and an old dog named Missy. Started out in gas stations in the mid 60's pumping gas then on to wrenching til the mid 70's. From there went to wrenching at the local GM dealer for 11 years til I had enough of that beat the clock crap. Found my current job of 13 years working for the General in the GM Service Operations Group. I am a field engineering technician, I go to GM dealers in MI and solver their software issues using the software GM sells to them. Got hooked on Chevelles in 1965 when I rode in the ONLY 65 Z-16 convertible built and I don't care who believes what about that!Way http://www.chevelles.com/forum/cool.gif

Rode shotgun in the ONLY Z16 convertible made.

I am 18, and I make rubber mats for horse trailers and pickup trucks. Its really not as fun as it sounds. I rebuilt my first motor when I was 15, (1.0L Sprint) Then did a head job on a Civic. When it came time to replace the beaters, the old man came home and said, hey did you see that Chevelle over on 8th? I said, yep I already test drove it, he gave me the loan, and I've been loving it ever since! (Except the Loan!)

20yr old Tooling Engineer in Mentor Ohio sinlge with a girl freind who doesn't understand my hobbie at all, she is upset I spend more money on my 69 Chevelle than her, hey what can I say I live 35 min from Summit its just too easy to spend my pay check when I can drive there right after work.

69 chevelle SS restoration-a work in progress

Hello all. I'm 31, married, two boys (3 and nearly 2, I'm an engineer for a propane dispenser manufacturer (like the gas pumps you fill up with, but for alternative fuel propane vehicles).

I just recently got my 67 Malibu convertible, 327, 4 speed. I've been planning to restore since I drove it first when I was 16 (Dad bought it new, finally wanted his garage back, and threatened to haul it to the junkyard). This site has been invaluable in collecting information to help start the restoration.

Being one of the senior members I guess I can bring up the rear. I am 58, married for 34 years and we have two married daughters. Had my 66 Chevelle since April 66 and I love this site, what a bunch of interesting folks. I spent 26 years in the Air Force as a Jet Engine Mechanic. Presently working for the State of South Carolina Department of Environmental Control doing water quality monitoring.

I'm 45 Married 13 years 6 year old and 8 year old
Got my Chevelle in 1976 ( High School senior year )
Paid $ 1500. Never thought I was getting a car that would hold it's value.
I remember driving it then, seems like it was yesterday.
The car was in new condition. The ride was very nice.
The back seat has "special significance" ;) .
Owned a 64 Olds F85 Cutlass and a 70 Thunderbird (429) previous but really wanted a Chevelle ( my father had a 70 "3 on the tree" I learned to drive in ). 350 stripped but it was peppy.
( threw me across the seat once on a corner, teached me to wear the seatbelt ).
Gas + corner = thrown if not holding tight.
I have always maintained the car in drivable condition. I decided last year to do a restification and make a nice weekend driver.
Did suspension and converted to front disc (stops great now ). Interior is redone. After patching a couple rust holes and painting, I should be pretty darn close.

Forgot to add, I am a Network Engineer for a large software company.

Let's see, did 4 years of Army ROTC, then another 4 active before blowing my left knee. Now 4 surgeries later (and counting) and I have my MCSE (2000) and A&P Certs (I get bored). Now working as a sales manager for a top Cendant company.

No kids (the world thanks me for it too). Soon to be married to the woman of my dreams (Niki) on 8/16/03 after 4 years of dating.

I owned a '69 Chevelle since high school. It had several 427's in it before running a best of 11.5 in the quarter. Forced to sell 2 years ago because of money issues graemlins/sad.gif .

I now own a '70 El Camino which is in the long process of "Hot Rodding". I don't expect it to be finished for at least another year, if not more. Afterward it will have a built 496, running 11's through the muffs, with the A/C and my stereo blasting!!

I am also a gun collector and run alittle club of local drag racers. I used to drive/co-drive for several teams involved with SCCA off-road Rallye racing, but can't do it any more due to knee injuries.

I'm 55 and a manufacturing engineer (at least that's what they call me) for a company that makes emergency warning lights for cop cars, ambulances, and fire trucks. On second marriage for 25 years with two grown boys still at home. Wife doesn't "get" why I want to work on my old piece of junk (65 2 door postie) instead of playing golf or some such nonsense. Hope to build a pre '48 Hot Rod after the Chevelle.

Hey Guys...saw this post and figured why the heck not....I'm 25, no wife, no kids, just me and my Chevelle. I'm in the Navy about to go on my second deployment in less than a year....it was nice to see Mom and Dad for Christmas...lots of my friends did not. Glad everyone here is always very helpful and still looking for a good woman that loves me for my Chevelle (...ummmm, I meant to say for who I am....or did I.... ;) ) A good night to all. Mike

I don't remember if I posted a reply here or not. I guess that comes with old age. :D
I'll be 42 in May.I'm a Set-up manufacturing tech for a automotive supplier. I've been married to the same wonderful women 20 years this coming August.

35 yrs old plumber by trade car nut by choice currently own a 72 elky SS. have had many chevelles and elkys including a big block 35" tire'd 72 elky
ran it a few times at sears point raceway in the early 90's hope to keep the current el. we'll see as a new child enters this messed up world in april.

I'm 31 my body says I'm older, my mind says I'm 16. I teach 5th grade my first year doing this. I was a substitute and a pre-school teacher before that. I was in college for nine years 90-99. I broke my neck in 91 as a painter for the summer. Was in the hospital about 100 days took nine months but went back to college this time in a wheelchair and bought my Chevelle totaled in 97. Graduated with a masters, bought a house, all in 1999. Got married in 2000 and started working on the Chevelle again. In 99 I bought my second Chevelle another 66 but this one is a station wagon. I have too little space, time, and money for all of this. The wife is in human resources and very supportive. Her car will be/is the wagon. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats and are trying to get pregnant.

The down side is we both may get laid off come August with all of the budget cuts but we'll get by some how.
