My 1971 Chevelle SS (cloned) belonged to my dad, Ron Sprague.  My father spent many procrastinating years trying to rebuild his chevelle.  However, he spent more time working on everyone else's car than his own.  Unfortunately I lost my dad in May of 2007 to a massive heart attack.  At his funeral I vowed to finish at least one thing in his life and that was his Chevelle.  It was a bucket of rust and rot when I brought it home.  But over the course of 6 months, an awesome restorator and lots of work done by myself and my son...WE DID IT.  She is more beautiful than the day she rolled off the showroom floor.  Now she is a rolling memorial of my dad.  Who needs a limo when you have your granddad's smokin' chevelle...I chauffered my son and his date to his senior prom in the chevelle...talk about arriving in style!
