<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Postsedan</div><div class="ubbcode-body">James Berry currently owns it, I have known this Lemans Blue SS396 L78 300 Deluxe Post Sedan since the late 80's when the car was owned by Ralph Schram of Elmhurst, IL.

Ralph didn't even own that Chevelle until 1998,when he bought it @ the VOLO auto auction.
The bidding stalled at 10K,so Ralph raised his hand and so did some other bidders,(who we later found out were VOLO employees,imagine that..),who raised the price to Ralphs ceiling of somewhere around 22K.They outbid Ralph,so he let it go.
Days after the auction,Ralph was contacted by VOLO saying the high bidder backed out,and was he still interested.He said he was,and they sold him the car for 22K + taxes.
It was on display in their building for a year prior with an asking price of 20K.
Ralph didn't know that.

FWIW.....My 1970 L78 Chevelle won both VetteFests' Gold Spinner &amp; Top Gun awards 2 years in a row during fall 2002-2003.
I remember Al F. telling me it was the first Chevelle to ever win a Top Gun award in 2002,and then the next year,back to back as well.
