CHEVELLE WAGON LIVES AGAIN! 383 Stroker and a Roof Rack! 8화

This1971 Chevelle station wagon was a star car on an episode of Holden Bros. Restos on the MotorTrend Channel (which is now called Turbo on cable TV).

In this episode, we’ll drag it out, clean it up, and tinker with some problems as I hope to peddle the thing to a friend before the episode ends. That didn’t work out as planned, but we still generated some new stoke for the wagon.
