A Bit About Me
Hi, my name is Geoff. Thanks for visiting. My passion for the tri-5 Chevy’s began from my earliest memories. My dad bought his first car in 1965. It was a 1957 Chevy Belair 4dr Sedan. He and my Mom brought me home from the hospital in that car. Several 57’s followed for him. He loved Hardtops. His favorite was a Matador Red and India Ivory 2dr HT with an original 2×4 270 hp 283 and a 3 speed. His friends with Tri-5s would stop by for some wrench time.
Dad taught me all the mechanical skills . We swapped engines, did brake jobs, replaced clutches, did tune-ups etc. I memorized 18436572 by the time I was 5. By the time I was 10, I had mastered a dwell meter to set points, a vacuum gauge to adjust the carb., and also the "ping" test to set maximum timing.
In 1984 I bought my very own 57 Chevy and I still have it to this day. It is a Yellow Belair 2dr Sedan and it has become my trademark. I was happy with just one for a while, but in ’91 I bought #2. It’s a 57 210 4dr wagon and its a keeper also. After that the flood gates were thrown wide open and I have had many of every year and nearly every model. I usually have 15 – 20 and any given time.
I started my first business in 1991 called Classic Chevy Supply. It mostly centered around buying parts cars and selling used parts at the Pomona swap meet in California. By 1997 I became involved in complete total restorations. I still sell used parts and rescue abandoned classics. Some of them get frame off restorations and some of them just get the ugly knocked off and sold as projects.
I have spent my entire life in, on, around and under 55, 56 and 57s. I have been honing my skills with metal, body work and paint since the early 90’s. I have built up a strong network of skilled craftsmen. Here at McIntyre’s we can provide all levels of repair and restoration services. Tri-5 Chevy’s are my legacy. It is my view that I don’t really own these cars, but instead I feel I have been entrusted with the responsibility of temporary caretaker. If I do my part in the preservation of these cars, they will live on long after I’m gone.
