Brian; In researching my FC, I ran across someone who worked for Dick during that period. He did much of the engine work on Dick's race cars as well as worked in the shop doing engine swaps, performance build ups, etc. His brother worked there also and did a lot of the paint work.

He also thinks 5 or less '68 Chevelles and remembers just 4, 2 red, 1 med. blue and 1 light green. He said that there were several '68 Camaros and of course Chevy IIs. In 1969, they built several Chevelles, Camaros and Novas. As we thought, they did a lot of work on cars not sold by Dick, including Vettes and other race cars. He was there when they did the magazine test run on ZL-1 #1 before it was turned into a race car. He was also there when a magazine did an article about Dick putting a turbo clutch transmission into a 1969 Camaro. The first turbo clutch transmission Dick built was made from the "original" turbo 400 out of Zl-1 #1 and installed in a 1955 Chevy. He is a very interesting person and I have hopes of having him at the next reunion to meet everyone and talk about "the good old days".
