-----I worked for Richard and Jack Douglass from app. 1976 thru 1984 with a year off in the middle one time around 82/3. Not buying that GT40 for $30,000 as offered to me was one of the biggest monetary mistakes I ever made. That car was one of the 40s that ran at LeMans the first year and dropped out with a broken trans. I was running the shop when we restored Grand Sport #1 which we later sold to a great guy named Jerome Shinkay, one of the all time coolest car collectors. The car I absolutely dont remember either seeing or hearing about is this Black LS6 vert you mention. I had a black on black LS5 vert with AC that I restored at Classic in Joliet. I actually painted that LS5 a 72 pewter silver and it has been pictured at one time or another here on the board, but you may have seen it before the color change. Maybe thats the one??? As well, I think maybe you have your dates a bit scrambled as we wernt down in Joliet until the 80s. If you visited us in Joliet, did your 58 have a power top??? I remember an extremely nice loaded Signet red fuelie that we restored in that shop.......Bill S
