The purpose of this Blog

This blog is to detail my 50 years (1973 - 2023) with a 1928 Chevrolet tourer, affectionately called "The Red Chev".

The acquisition, restoration, improvements and my experiences over the years are covered in as much detail as I can remember.

Some of the later postings include car club outings and other vintage car items that I hope will be of interest to people.

If you have the time, scroll back to where it all began in 1973 and follow the journey so far.

Thanks for dropping by.

Regards Ray Dean

      To the best of my knnowledge it ended on 6th december, and was not sold. Suggest you try making contact with the seller. I know if I had the funds, I would have checked it out by now.

      Good Luck.

    Hi Ray, Almost 12 months down the track and the Sloper has been progressing all the doors, guards, trims etc has been taken back to bare metal and primed. Absolutely no rust in the car anywhere... amazing! Carby and fuel and water pumps rebuilt. Has some damage to the worm drive in the steering box (for knee action shock model) and am trying to source a replacement new or 2nd hand parts do you have any suggestion where to look?
