I have a bunch that I bought from a fellow years ago, I loaded them in my car and nearly broke the suspension. Your collection must weigh tons......
Car Life is a good publication. See you at the Vettefest.

Bob,

It would most likely have been Car Craft '81 or early 82...showing the Street Machine Nationals West at Devonshire Downs. Or was it the '79 Street Machine Nationals West? Can you check Car Craft for '79 for me when you get some time (Street Machine Nationals West)?

There's also a Super CHevy within 6 months of that that had a red 67 RS/SS 396 Convertible on the cover...I believe it was owned by a guy with the last name of King?

I appreciate anything that you can discover...

Like I said...don't worry about it now...you've got enought to worry about

BINGO! I found a mint issue of SC with the 67 RS/SS Convert on the cover and inside with a sweet 2-page spread which is indeed owned by Dan King. This is a classic issue of SC, cuz inside is a 2-page color ad for the Dodge Charger 2.2!

I am sure I can locate the CC with the new clues you gave me. Will deliver to Vettefest.

BTW; are you anywhere near Lake Havasu City?

Thanks/BA

Wow...Thanks Bob! I was able to get Mr. King into the Street Machine Nationals West for free, via the placard that you put inside your car...explaining what the car was...he ended up asking for a "new" one after he got inside...he told the show that he "lost" it . I know...I know...it wasn't right, but it was a really cool Camaro...with a cool owner and a fascinating story and we displayed side by side...him, in his Camaro...and me in my bro Gary's RS/SS!



I'm not near Lake Havasu city...but Stuart Adams is...whaddya need? I could always take a drive out there...

Bob,
If you have any Sports Car Graphic magazine issues, I am desperately looking for a 1971 issue, that has the indepth road test for a 1971 LS6 Corvette. I do not know which months issue it was, however I know it wasn't April 1971. I suspect it was May thru July, however I do not know for sure. Any help in this matter would GREATLY appreciated. I would be more than happy to buy it from you.

Thanks, Warren

They claim it is an auhthentic 1 of 1 mule.
I can post pics if you like.

Rick,

Thanks, I have that issue, pretting interesting story about the LS7 option for the 1970 Corvette. Paul Van Valkenburg was a Chevrolet engineer and his book he wrote about Chevrolet Racing? is pretty neat.

There were 7 LS7 engines shipped from Tonawanda to Chevrolet Engineering in Warren, MI. Five of these were returned. Terry McManmon, an NCRS '70 to '72 expert asked Duntov one time, if all the test mule LS7 cars were destroyed. Duntov just smiled, and replied that he personally signed the destruct order for these cars.
