Re: It will turn at least 120mph in 11.50 or better!
I thought it might have been the 68 BM from TN that is currently in HMN. Anyone know about that one? Mark, could you post some pictures? Sounds like quite a find.

YES this is the car from Hemmings.
I heard about the car when I was at GM Carlisle. I picked up the car 1 day before the ad came out. The car was in Michigan. The car doesn't need much--just a little engine compartment detailing. I also ordered new cragars and red-line tires for it. Nice color combination and sounds like its ready to race!! Mark [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Mark, congratulations sounds like a great car. How many documented 68 BM cars are known? I can only think of a few.

Re: It will turn at least 120mph in 11.50 or better!
Got a ride in Hassett's SS-427 L-88 Phase III Motion on Saturday. I would describe the ride as "violent". We were still in the driveway as I was attempting to get the seatbelt on when Mark touched the gas... WOW. The car really sticks hard, and the MP "Superbite Suspention" really lives up to its name. Once on the street, it became clear that the car is really barely streetable, and needs ocassional throttle application to prevent loadup. Feels much faster than a stock ZL-1 or Yenko 427 SC. I think this can be justified by the way the car transfers the weight and power to the rear. If you are in the car it really whips you around-Hard.
Mark, better hire Bruce Larson to drive it at the track.... [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img] Phil
