Somebody has his 55 Nomad. Maybe they will snatch the vette up.

Fastest Chevy racer next to Grump in the early Pro Stock years. Had the fastest G/MP 55 nomad on the planet. Made the 288 inch motor a household name to any Modified Eliminator racer in NHRA. Blevins, Moroso, Truppi, Jesel, Iaconio, Bernie Agaman, Bob Johnson and a few others terrorized the Modified Eliminator ranks for years in Div-1 and all over the Country.</div></div>

And back in those days there was no electronic crap in the cockpit (maybe a line-lock) -- it was all driver and car ... TAZ [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]

That was a killer corvette in its day. I would say $45,000 in US money is pretty close. </div></div>

DAMN, good to know, I'm a PUP at 50! Just when I've been going through mid-life crisis thinking I'm getting old LOL.

It does seem like a nice car,

Re: Paul Blevins Corvette For Sale.
 

Kinda stumbled upon this conversation by mistake so I'll add my 2cents . I was lucky to watch both of Pauls cars back in the day at Englishtown &amp; Sanair. I would like to own that Vette to park it in my garage next to his nomad that I am now the caretaker of. That is a steal for the history it has,don't get any better than world champion. I'd hate to tell you what I think the nomad is worth !

Re: Paul Blevins Corvette For Sale.
 

Hey congrats and thanks for checking in. So it sounds like you'll be going after the Vette. Good luck.

Any pix of the Nomad you could share?! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: Paul Blevins Corvette For Sale.
 

Is Pauls 65 vette, still for sale? Thanks BBBenny

Re: Paul Blevins Corvette For Sale.
 

I'm really kinda surprised nobody mentioned Joe Scotto, who was partnered with Paul Blevins on both the 'Vette and the'55. Also, Bill Izykowski, who actually drove the 'Vette for a while. If you look over the door on the 'Vette, you'll see Bill's name listed as driver. I'm pretty good friends with Joe and Bill and we have &quot;bench raced&quot; quite a bit about both cars. A TON of history in both of those race cars.

Re: Paul Blevins Corvette For Sale.
 

Both names also appear over the doors on the nomad,When I had it relettered I didn't have them put on,as of yet, Izzy busted my chops about it not being there ! Both Joe &amp; Bill are great guys, On the other hand Paul could be a bit moody at times. Don't know if the vette is sold yet, It needs to be lettered,and have a period correct engine in it.

Re: Paul Blevins Corvette For Sale.
 

Had a pretty good conversation yesterday with Joe Scotto about their old Corvette. Shared lots of detailed &amp; interesting facts,&amp; memories of the building &amp; racing history of the car, Made his day for sure to talk about it
