This place has been open for some time and is very popular among hobbyist and amateur motorists.



I mean within the context that people were still buying (slower) Corvettes, Camaros, (and much uglier) Challengers, Cudas, chargers, mustangs, GTOs, etc.

Those were all cars that would also have higher ins rates, use lots of gas and had a performance image.....the only difference was that they were as slow as molasses in January(except maybe the Vette) and they all looked absolutely terrible(except Camaro and Corvette).

That is the gist at what I was getting at. Not literally why from a marketing point of view.

Just google Blackstone Lab or give them a call at the number on the bottom of the sheet above. They send you out all the free, postage prepaid sample kits you want. All you do is package the sample up per their instructions and throw in a check for $28. They get you the results within three days or so of arrival at the lab. I have had them test the oil in all my vehicles, and even my 30 year old John Deere lawnmower, too.

Thank you!

Just got back from the Hemmings Concours at Lake George NY. Great show. They had a Camaro and Firebird '67 to '81 display.

Some really nice cars were there. The SD wound up with a second place. Very surprising given the high caliber of the cars in the class and the fact that the SD is unrestored. I was up against several six-figure $$$ restorations. Mark Hassett got first with his green ZL1 and third went to a copper 70 L78 from Minnesota.

Phillip Borris did an exceptional job as the narrator and emcee of the class providing a car by car history of the F-body line given his expertise on the subject as the author of Echoes of Norwood. Here he is giving his spiel.

Congrats Steve

----Very cool, Steve! you did well......Bill S

Two of the greatest F-Bodies ever built, a ZL1 and a SD-455. Can't beat that with a stick. Any pictures of the ZL1?

Thanks for sharing, Steve.

here you go

Thank you very much, Steve. Very nice looking car.

was the ZL1 a Minnesota car as well? I know the copper L78 car, the restoration shop near me did the resto on it. Looks like Bob Marvins ZL1. Bob has a vast collection of ultra rare muscle in Warroad Mn
