According to the Montgomery County Tax records, Alvin and his wife Barbara sold 418 Corinthian in October of 2004. That's pretty encouraging. Don't you think the current Nova owner would have tried to track him down?

A couple of years ago when he was at Vettefest......I had a conversation with the owner and he said he was the fifth owner of the car...He also said he had all the names of the previous owners......I asked if he had contacted them to establish a Documented History of the car as the POP (as I was told) is the only Paperwork with the car......he said he had called them and left messages, but they had never called back.......Hummmm!!!!........then we got into the 074 heads and the conversation went down hill real fast ......other than that I defer to the Experts

Well, who's gonna make the call ?? Somebody's has to know the facts on this car.
Does anybody know someone who worked on the production line at Willow Run back then that could answer the aluminum head question ?? The truth is out there somewhere. If this goes on much longer, we might have to call unsolved mysteries to get the answer.

To dispel all myths and questions about my car, I can assure you that its real and the only one. I bought the car in 2003 from a guy in Long Island. I was looking for an L78 car when I came across my car. The original engine block, heads, intake, water pump, and carb as well as the original tranny and rear came with the car. During restoration at Legendary, they disassembled the engine in front of me, BKH, and Klutt to examine the broach marks and dates. All of the engine components were authenticated at that time as original and numbers matching. Brian examined all of the drivetrain components with magnifying glass as well as the POP. I wanted to know the truth if the car was real or not before I decided to proceed on a very expensive and lengthy restoration. all of the hidden sheet metal VINs were also found and examined. Every engine, drivetrain, and body component is correct. I have a list of every date and code on the car (and close up photos) which I will bring to the R & S auction. As far as contacting the owner on the POP; I tried several years to call all of the calvin whites in Hatboro and surrounding towns, but no luck. I also tried to contact the chevy dealer (stahl chevrolet in southampton) and had no luck. Once the car was examined in detail by Brian and Klutt and a full report was made I was convinced that my car was real and VERY VALUABLE. I showed the car in a few national concourse (Greenwich, Meadowbrook, and New England) events as well as vettefest twice and NNN nationals. Anyone who has met me at the shows and seen the car knows how spectacular this Nova is. I can be contacted via this site or call my cell if you have any questions or comments. The new owner who buys my car at R&S auction will be getting one of the rarest chevy supercars ever produced.

Good detective work Ken!!

I still don't understand why an open chamber (074) cylinder head is being used on this engine, when all the 1970 big block L78/L89 production engines would have used a closed chamber (842) head and piston combo to come up with the designed 11.25:1 compression ratio?????
What am I missing here???
