Gorries Little Screamer
The first ad is from April 1962 and the second is October 1962. Gorries added the "dealer installed" 360 HP Corvette motor to the "new for 62" Chevy II.

Re: Gorries Little Screamer

Re: Gorries Little Screamer
Pretty hot # for '62! Gerry Coffey gave his original Gorries & Golden Mile paperwork to Lance a few years before he passed away...[img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] Also, I expect not these Fuelie cars but believe Gorries ran/sponsored one or more of the early Novas in the Shell Oil sponsored Canada Rallys of the era...62-65?

Re: Gorries Little Screamer
Ooh, Now that's tasty... and a Black/Red car to boot.
The Hot Rod Thomas "Bomb" article was March '62 with GM part numbers. Someone was spreading this "development" hardware availability info around. Paul

Re: Gorries Little Screamer
This info/hardware in the article included HD suspension, brakes and "radius rods" added to rear suspension (similar to Corvette). Rear end would take Passenger/Corvette gears but, yes, would be the weak link. Front end would be better with those installed HD parts (springs, sway bar & brakes) but still the same Chevy II geometry. I think the White Thomas car did end up in a Canada road race and won. ...unless that was one of these. Have an article somewhere showing it racing there.
