[amuseme]

If I ever finish it? Somebody ask Dennis how long his '57 has been down!?!

Knew a guy in So. Ill. circa '79-'80 w/'69 Blue/Black vinyl, black bench, 4spd, taxi mat Nova which was a supposed L-89 . Never saw paper on it. Most of us didn't chase that stuff so much back then. But not a lot of folks referenced L-89's much then, either. Car had black rims w/no caps, Hookers and an L-88 cam. No dog. Jeff Gibula (sp?) was the fellow's name, worked w/a guy named Jim, as I recall, who had a few cool Chevy's he scored from Classic Motors of Hinsdale and a pretty nice '64 Goat I'd seen at auction at O'Hare Expo Center a few years prior. Haven't come across a '70 COPO 427 Nova, yet.

Tenney,

-----Pretty sure the Goat was red with black vinyl top and interior. It was a pretty fair car, although I didnt appreciate it at the time. Used it as my driver for a bit. What Chevys did this fella buy from us??? Would be interested in knowing. Please dont mind if I dont get back on here for a week or so as I am going to Dallas tomorrow to deliver a car.........Bill S

I recognized the Goat as a Classic Motors car, Bill. He pointed out a few '09's, as well. A red '61 SS. A light blue '62 Impala non-SS. A Black '64 340 horse low-miler w/white guts and red carpets/non-padded dash. Kind of a bronze '61 Biscayne. It was all for sale. And he spoke of the green LS-6 I'd seen in the showroom in Hinsdale, though didn't have it "in stock".

Btw, Jeff's "L-89" Nova was out of Tinley, should anyone recall it. We were all down south for some higher learning, at the time.

--------My buddy, Bob S, who works over at Chicago Corvette for Al F will bust a nut when he hears that the 64 still exists. We had all heard that the car had been totalled back in the day. Can you find out if it can be bought? Bob still talks about that thing about every time we are together and if I could tell him how to get it at least he might shut up, LOL!!! I really think he would go after it if it was available. He##, Id go after it. The car was a nice piece........Bill S

A friend, Carl B, bought the '64. Again, this was around '79-'80. Swapped it back a year or so later to the fellow in So. Ill. (Jim?) for the blue '62, which he still owns. Haven't heard of the '64, or it's whereabouts, since. Car was totally original (around 30K on the clock, I think) and drove like new. If it's anything like it was, can see how it'd be worth tracking down.
