------Knew Bob F well. Was it this year or last that several of us saw his old LS6 vert in Scottsdale??? I bought a 66 red Hemi Satellite 4spd from Jerome Shinkay that he had bought from Bob. It supposedly had won best of show at some Hemi convention. Loved the car but decided to sell it at an auction that Richard sponsored. Bob showed up with a blue 454 T-top 1970 coupe and when I didnt get enough for the Hemi in the auction we ended up trading cars so Bob got his Hemi back that he said he never wanted to sell in the first place. Somehow, all this rubbed Bob the wrong way and he was mad at me for years. I was the one who should of been mad as he slipped the Corvette past me with a very well done one piece nose that I never saw until after we had traded. Oh well. Sold the Vette rather quickly as it was a pretty nice old car even with the Eckler nose.......Bill S
