apparently i sparked quite an interest in the blue LS6 car.that car was sold without the LS6 motor. it had an E.T. shop built 427 with a super t-10 trans with doug nash gears . it had the E.T. Shop lettered on the doors in gold leaf and pit crew: Nick and Ray somewhere on the rear 1/4. either before the rear wheel or after. my dad doesnt quite remember.the saying on the trunk was Freds wifes favorite saying. they all had crew shirts too.check it out !!!

dad.....you can chime in at anytime ya know.....

heres a cool story, i posted this awhile ago but with all the new members i see popping up, i guess i can tell it again.both my dad and Russ got their motors back from the speed shop at the same time. they decided to see who can get theirs fired up first. i believe the Big Block guys prevailed......again.....more Old Style..

here is Russ and Steve( owner of that wild painted '56 ) they were the ones that did the chassis work in the vega.steve with his "thinking cap" on...thats what they called the hat....he always had it on......

and the same two guys using a tree for an engine hoist. i think they pulled a boat to a local park,pulled the motor, moved the boat and dropped it in the bed of a pick up truck. probably Old Style influenced...

yep....look in steves hand.........
