When we put out the call for outstanding Muscle Cars, we knew there would be some great replies. One that really makes my heart skip a beat came in recently and I know it will be a hit. Bill Hamel has shown his Monaco Orange 69 L78 Chevelle SS in the Chicago area several times. In fact, it has scored several Gold Spinner awards and also the Top Gun award at the Chevy Vettefest along with a Best Chevelle award at a Super Chevy show, among some pretty tough competition.
Bill's 69 is indeed a very special car. Not just because the restoration is of the highest quality, but also because it is equipped with the very rare Chevrolet Performance Cowl Plenum Air Intake. This is a very rare option and one you really need to see in person. Bill has owned his all numbers matching Chevelle for about 12 years, and the complete frame off restoration was concluded in November 2005.
We are honored to have people like Bill as part of our inaugural show and we recommend that anyone who truly appreciates rare Chevelles and quality restoration work, along with a fine presentation and display, be sure to allow plenty of time to view Bill's L78 Chevelle SS. Bill would also like you to know that this car is dedicated to his late Mother, Mary E. Hamel, who appreciated and loved cars. “Without her I wouldn't have been able to restore the car.” Bill stated.
