Here's a link to Aren Cambre's Internet Nova Source Website at SMU - it will take you directly to the page where Aren keeps a picture of our '67 Chevy II Nova, "Bluebelle" and a little write-up I sent him about her a year-and-a-half ago. Right now I don't think I would care to sell the old girl although I was considering it at the time I sent Allen the story. (While you are at Aren's site check-out some of the other Nova stuff featured there, its a nice site!) Bluebelle @ Internet Nova Source
Also, by special request from Dennis Scholl, here are some pictures of the accessory drive brackets on Bluebelle's original 283 - she's a little dirty, Dennis - hope the pictures help you! "Bluebelle Engine"
Not enough cars for you? Not enough for me either, apparently!
I also own a '69 BUIAC that I have been known to call "GODZILLA" (It is big, green, and can really ruin your day - it has runied a lot of mine!)
My current project (as if they are not all projects in process!) is the '74 Olds Cutlass Collonade 4-dr HT/Sedan my son drove to college the last couple years. With 110,000 miles it is still a solid Florida car and the Rocket 350 runs like a top! Check it out The Lime Green Love Machine

My "pride and joy" is the '55 Chevy 210 2-door sedan that I received from my parents as a H.S. Graduation gift in 1967! My brother Rick and I decided to call the '55 "Mr. 5 by 5" years ago since it is about as high as it is wide! (That's where I got my Web-page name, in case you haven't guessed yet!) For many years my '55 was powered by a souped-up '60 Pontiac 389 and 4-speed Hydromatic but the Pontiac finally got so tired that I changed the car back to the original 235 Cubic Inch in-line six. Here is a picture of "Mr. 5-by-5" in the Kodak Elmgrove parking lot about 7 years ago next to my friend Tony Syracuse's old 95 5-liter Mustang - I told him I wanted to capture a view of his Mustang with a real Hot Rod 95_55.jpg! The '55 has an Offenhauser dual carb intake, Mellings Aluminum timing set, and a late model full-synchro 3-speed. With the '63 3.70 posi rear the six performs pretty well although the car spends most of its time taking up all the available space in my 1 1/2 car garage. It needs a paint job and some minor body work - it doesn't look bad except for the surface rust all over the top, hood, and trunk lid that came from sitting under a car cover for too many winters. Here's a link to the scanned image of an article I wrote about the car for Classic Chevy World magazine several years agoMr. 5-by-5
And here are a few other recent detail pictures:
Here's my latest addition, a series of web-pages dealing with my recent experiences with a couple '82 Chevy Monte Carlos, I'm not The "Count of Monte Carlo" yet, but its only a matter of time!
Chevettes? What am doing putting stuff about Chevettes on my Website? I bought a new Chevette Scooter in 1979 and stumbled across the Sales Brochure and Invoice a little while ago. It is so outrageous I figured I'd make a webpage and link it here for those who recall (or don't recall) the basic "econo-boxes" Americans were driving in the late 70s and early eighties when gas was $1.389 a gallon! Check it out! Chevette On-line
The 4-WD guys I have been correspoding with at "The Ultimate Jeep", website will be disappointed if they don't find something about my '80 CJ-7 here: It is the successor to 2 rusty I-H Scouts that were used to plow my 300-foot Lake Ontario Snowbelt driveway over the past 27-years. It's a 258 c.i. AMC in-line six with Automatic, 2-speed Transfer Case, locking hubs, and a Meyers 6.5-foot hydro-turn plow rig. The unit is pretty reliable and I have replaced the rusty front fenders with fiberglas - next to go are the hood and gas tank which are both perforated with rust now. The AMC 258 runs good and provides all the power you need to plow snow, pump water, or lift heavy items - see my personal profile at "My Ultimate Jeep Profile", website for a picture and more info on my utilitarian "Jeepin'"!
