OT: Bruce Springsteen's 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 is for sale.

We're in the break room and we saw this, we all want to buy it. Of course even if we pooled our money we would still be short.

It seems ironic that Springsteen owned a Chevelle, yet he sang about driving a pink Cadillac.

"Racing in the Street", Bruce Springsteen, 1978

"I got a sixty-nine Chevy with a three-ninety-six
Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor
She's waiting tonight down in the parking lot
Outside the Seven-Eleven store
Me and my partner Sonny built her straight out of scratch
And he rides with me from town to town
We only run for the money, got no strings attached
We shut 'em up and then we shut 'em down

Tonight, tonight the strip's just right
I want to blow 'em off in my first heat
Summer's here and the time is right
For racin' in the street

We take all the action we can meet
And we cover all the northeast state
When the strip shuts down we run 'em in the street
From the fire roads to the interstate
Some guys they just give up living
And start dying little by little, piece by piece
Some guys come home from work and wash up
And go racin' in the street

Tonight, tonight the strip's just right
I want to blow 'em all out of their seats
Calling out around the world, we're going racin' in the street

I met her on the strip three years ago
In a Camaro with this dude from L.A.
I blew that Camaro off my back
And drove that little girl away
But now there's wrinkles around my baby's eyes
And she cries herself to sleep at night
When I come home the house is dark
She sighs, "baby did you make it all right"
She sits on the porch of her daddy's house
But all her pretty dreams are torn
She stares off alone into the night
With the eyes of one who hates for just being born
For all the shut down strangers and hot rod angels
Rumbling through this promised land
Tonight my baby and me, we're gonna ride to the sea
And wash these sins off our hands

Tonight, tonight the highway's bright
Out of our way, mister, you best keep
'Cause summer's here and the time is right
For racin' in the street... "

I love those old GM A  bodies. 

I estimate that his old one will go for around $100K, and if it hits right $125K unless Guitar Center or the Hard Rock buys it then someone will drive the price to $200K easy 

My 1970 GTO has the motor torn apart as I rebuild it, Probably done later this year. Just something about them that looks good and they go Fast. 

Below is a picture of My GTO I had made into a Poster, this is the effected picture.

Oh man, that exact model and year was a car I wanted at one point. The lines on that car are amazing.

"She's real fine, my 409"

My "obsession" is a white on red, convertible, 409, 4:11 rear, Hurst shifter and a Muncie T-10.

ME: "Yeah, but I can make bail!"

OFFICER: "Have a good day."
