One of the South Carolina Tricentennial 1970 Chevelle SS 396 - a special car for SC Chevy dealers. 10 are known to exist - no one knows how many were originally built. There were two SS 454s though - one an LS5 and the other an LS6


This is my friend, Joe Bertrand's, 70 Tricentennial Chevelle. LS6 4 speed.. Car is awesome. Restored by Chris White..

I don't believe so. That looks to be the same Comet that was in a collection here in WI along with ZL1 #4. 1,700 miles, radio antenna still in the trunk. Dana Mecum bought it and a few other Mustangs, including the 902 mile Boss 429.

Definitely off from our standard fare . . . but because it is so unique I feel it deserves a post . . .

This 1964 prototype came 18 years before the first production Porsche 911 Cabriolet. It's the only one of its kind in the world.

It looks to be a 1969 Road Runner with A14 Spring Special. So the RWL tires would be correct. But it has the wrong Road Wheels. Those are from 1968. Should have trim rings.

Lots of photos and interesting differences on this car versus a production car - worth a look.

One of only 13 built for Tangier Shrine Corvette Patrol. The Tangier Shrine Patrol was formed in March 1957 in Nebraska. It was composed of Omaha, Nebraska lawyers, bankers and business men who felt that their demonstrations of precise driving would help the case of traffic safety.The group chose the Corvette to exhibit their driving skills. The group (11-15 members) purchased a new Corvette each year and GM would build all at the same time so they would be identical.In 1962, Bunky Knudsen told the group they could have any GM car color from any GM model available that year. The director chose the 1962 Cadillac color Royal Heather Amethyst and as it happened, white was not an option for the interior of a 1962 Corvette so the director went with red.

Putting the S code 390 in the 1967 Cougar then adding AC produced a lot of underhood heat. To combat this, Mercury added a fan shroud and a rubber strip to make a better seal to aid the shroud. They also added a heat shield on the battery on the two sides that faced the engine and extended it up over the battery to encase the positive terminal as seen in this photo.
