Spotted for sale in Chicago by a Westword alum now livin’ large in Chi-town, this ’69 Chevy Chevelle with a certain recognizable black-and-purple color scheme has popped up just in time for the start of a glorious new Rocktober. The asking price is $10,500, which inspired us to do a little math:

  • One-way ticket to Chicago: $150
  • Car purchase: $10,500
  • Gas back to Denver: $100
  • Showing up at Game 1 of the playoffs in the ultimate Rockiesmobile: Priceless.
