Today I received an email from Hemmings Muscle Machines to order the 2013 calendar. To my surprise my car was on the calendar for June 2013. Pretty exciting if you are a car guy.

I agree, very cool!
How much did they pay you for the rights to use a photo of your car in the calendar?

Great looking car. I'm sure the stereo system is playing something like this...

Good. I hope it is enough to order a copy of the calendar.
I did order a few of these calendars today, I don't think there are many left, you guys better hurry.

The only thing cooler would be you posed with the car naked but holding a carburetor .

I have one like that holding a wrench, should I post it? The Mods will be thrilled.

Very cool there 73.
Yes, from the paint to the fan belts. This was the last year for the SS in the Chevelle line. There was a big body change in 73 and the year of the gas crisis.
So GM made mostly 350's, this car is a 454 and only 2500 were made. In contrast the SS Chevelle with the big blocks from 66 to 72 were made in huge #'s, about 60K to 120K a year. Also, only 600 were made in 73 with a 4 speed and I've only found one ever made with AC like mine.
This is not a desirable year as the engine was detuned to 245HP so it's a slug compared to most of the big blocks. But I love it because it's so different.

That's quite an accomplishment to keep a rare car in such pristine condition. Well done.
haha

Nope Moemg, for that he is drafting you. Holding a Holley 4 bbl in your left hand and an Edelbrock camshaft in your right.The only thing cooler would be you posed with the car naked but holding a carburetor .
It's the gentlemanly thing to do.
Ha
Sweet!
