I remember when this car rolled out of the container.. Welcome back Dave. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Say it ain't so... Welcome back Dave!

Dave gave me the grand tour of his beast during MCACN 2011. Incredible car, paper, story! Dave - any shots since Rick worked his magic on the cluster/interior?

Regards,
Dan

Hi Dan! Hope all is well with you! I'll get some pics to your e-mail in a couple of days.Rick pretty much did mechanical work to get the car road worthy safety-wise, and to get the engine bay closer to the look in the vintage photos. He delivered! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

You've had some great Supercars, Dave. I'd seen the post resto pix, but not the racing one's...awesome. Thx for sharing those here [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]

HI Jude! You have also had some great supercars. I still think about the Gibb car with the window sticker often. Turns out that was a great deal, and a VERY special car! Who knew at the time. Is there a &quot;kicking myself&quot; icon? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

The Nickey magazine ad shows the car with the 454/450 engine priced at $4678.75, so $4550.00 seems definitely credible as the price of the car and conversion. That's a screamin' deal IMO, given that the sticker price of the new 73 Z28 that I bought was $4300.75. It's a phenomenal screamin' deal when you compare it to the price of that silver Baldwin-Motion 73 Chevelle, which was a tickle over $12K [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/shocked.gif[/img]
