Did anyone notice we had a “real” Elvis in the club
Elvis lives!

Ray10 has the right advice…Rick Drake is THE Universe’s Chevette EXPERT!

Nice pic, Paul. That wasn’t that long ago, was it?

I had the car from about mid-1993 to about 2000. Sad, I really should remember exact dates. I do know my daughter was still on baby food when I bought it.
We were in Florida. We had run out of milk for Lauren. I ran out to some convenience store and while I waited for the clerk I grabbed a Want Ad Press. Flipping through it…there was the Jovi.…[Read more]

Not familiar with the Jovi. Got any pics?    

Gee, thanks for the reminder Mark. Man, I wish I had the Jovi back!

 Joe make sure that you have the year of the doner car correct if you have the builder’s paper work that would be a help  , if not go by the V I N number on the engine .

Speedster Motorcars out of Florida.

Have you sold this car?
Randy

Thanks, Dan. It’s the walnut piece that came with the kit in 1980, I think. Delaminating a bit in the left corner but otherwise still pretty nice.

Thanks.Just fitting the instruments now & chasing down electrical gremlins. But yes. The plan is to make a new dash–I have the wood for it–including a glove box. Hope to be done in a few months. Probably not by Carlisle, but maybe, if I get a some lucky breaks.Mean time I hope to get the car back driveable in the coming weeks using the old…[Read more]
