Correct. Never drilled. The early Pilots left the factory with no primary name emblems. The build at Norwood was called the &quot;F car&quot; only at that point.

It's really cool that it survived and has been so meticulously restored. I too would love to see it MCACN . Is there any ownership history prior to it becoming a drag car? Like did it end up being sold new at a dealership or did a GM exec have it as a demo?

Owners wife title searched the car back to January 1967. When she started hitting dead ends, they contacted General Motors, and GM told them to contact me.

There is a binder that has information on every owner to date including pictures of cemeteries..yes they went to the places where the previous owner was buried (if dead)

Good guess on the dealer... not a GM exec, but a big shot dealer ended up with the car when it was new.

The owner of the car is a noted Shelby Cobra aficionado. He is going to get a new glass panel made for the trailer very soon. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]

Is there a reason for the lack of a cowl seal ?
