Default Re: Warning: bogus '63 on ebay

Just on the off chance do you have a Red w/red interior '63 Biscane 409, It came as a 400 but we made it a 425 hp later on. It came through Bill White Chev and I was wondering if you might have it in your data base? I lived with a good buddy that ordered it new and they screwed up the order and send a 300 hp twin of the 409 car, along with his 400hp car. A guy named Vic Brown bought the sm block car when he heard of it for sale.

Some of you may have heard of Vic Brown, he drove dragsters for Bob Creitz back in the mid 60's.

My buddy was named Jim Kohler and I know where to locate his widow and she may have some of the old pic of the car still. After he died she bought a new Calaway vette in '85. I will never forget she called me to drive it because it was getting too hot. she was not letting it cool down after running it hard and it would get up to 300 deg. Had to explain how the turbos worked for her. how that thing kept from blowing the head gaskets at that temp, is a real mystery to me.
