I can see alphanumerics on the pix of the stamp pad from the lower left of the pad slanting toward the upper right.

Sam, Real hard to tell, but the last letter might be a G, indicating 250hp P/G. The valve covers, carb and distributor are all 1958.

And it's a little hard to tell from the pics, but I think the heads are also '58s (no spark plug cooling passages)

[MYSTERYCHEVELLE]

Yes, I drive by there often and always think the same thing??? How do you get there from here

[Salvatore]

Vern, That place is 10 minutes from Pete. I bet Ronnie has been there!

[Verne_Frantz]

I need to call him tonight, so I'll ask him. I also need to make another trip up there soon, so I just might be able to check out that '61 in person.

[b] My son attends The Hill School up in Pottstown and today was the last day, so I was able to make
a stop back here before picking him up. I was lucky today to be able to meet the owner,
Glenn Borneman a real nice guy. He was happy to show me around and answer any questions I had.
He has owned this lot for quite some time, but has had enough and wants to get out before he is
inundated with traffic from the new shopping center being built down the block. He said he will be
getting no new cars and hopes to be out by the end of the year. Another Shame!!

Verne was correct, the '61 was originally a 6 cyl car that he put a '58 348 in. It's a B title car that
was his teachers car and he has owned it for over 20 years. Its a standard bore 348 all rebuilt
with a hi perf cam. The car has big block springs, new front end work and a new exhaust.
The air cleaner is in the trunk and he has the 6cyl also. He is asking $13800.

Hill School eh? That's impressive to say the least!

[Verne_Frantz]

Dog, Thank you very much for stopping back and providing the numbers (with photos!). Chaulk up another real one for the files!

The "1711" in the VIN is the key to it being a 6cyl car. I sure hope it finds a good owner who respects it's originality. It needs to have the original engine put back in and given a good clean-up. What a survivor! You just don't find original '61 interiors like that anymore....
