<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Mr70</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Hats off to Dave Ellis,for spending so much time &amp; money to get his factory L-78 396/375HP Convt.back to it's original drag racing trim condition.
He spent many years painstakingly researching it,and finding the few parts it was missing.
Many obstacles stood in Dave's way,many people tried to screw him,but he refused to let that overcome him &amp; kept going forward.
That's Dave in the wheelchair to the left,behind the car in the 1st pic.
A true testament to what's inside a man.

So true Rick. Dave is an extremely nice guy. We see him every year at the LaHarpe event and he always has a smile and kind words.

Far too few people know about Dave, his struggles, and this car, ...... which happens to be a 'sister car' to the Truppi-Kling/Briggs LS6 driven b Ray Allen. Good to see him out &amp; about enjoying himself.

Great coverage Dan. Thanks a bunch!
