I was right on my assumtion of the build plant and based on "L" on the cowl tag it appears to be an SS though that is only speculation at this time. If this car has been unmolested as it appears and based on the build date I would bet there are at least 3 sheets in that car. One in the front seat back (push on the seat back and you may feel it on the drivers side), one in the bottom rear seat and one in the passengers front fender and there may be more as I have found them in other places on Leeds cars as well. It is VERY rare that they are not in these locations on the Leeds cars around that date.

As someone else just asked the same question recently.. why do you think it is we often tell people .. Build Sheets were not intended to be left in cars... and more often than not tossed in the trash.. yet we can also point to certain places were Build Sheets are almost guaranteed to be found? and often are..with some cars/plants. I do the same thing.

I would be more than happy to give Ron a call, if you would like to private message me your phone number I’ll give him a call. When I got the car, the guy said it had a blower on it at one time. He said the blower and heads were taken off before he got the car. The story is he go the car and it just sat, never moved. I recognized in picture of the car, the forest preserve; I used to go there when I was a kid, I think it was called Bussey Woods? The car actually looks good since I cleaned, a few minor dents and dings, all original sheet metal. The interior of the car really looks good, where those plastic seat covers put on by Ron? Also did Ron by parts from Nickey Chevrolet, because I found the business card in there? Looks like it has had a lot of engine work done, the motor looks like it was stamped ACE Machine… Looks like it is somewhere around 500 cubic inches. From what information I have, Ron bought it about 7 years after it was new. Kind of cool, it must have got a pretty good penny for it back in its day with all the work that was done.

I just talked to Ron a little bit ago. He has tons of pictures of when he owned the car and used to hang out at Bussey Woods. He painted the inner fender wells gold and found one of the several build sheets that were on the car. This one was behind the inner fender well; he also assured me that the plastic on the seat covers was there since the day he bought it. The reason he was able to track the car down years ago, was because he was using the vin number off of the build sheet he still has!!! How awesome. It’s all because of this Yenko website, which made it easier to locate owners.

Yes it is called Busse Woods. We hung there a lot. I sent you his number so your questions will be met from him directly. The plastic on the seats where there when he bought it. He never wanted to take them off. Now that I am in the reminising state I will share some pics with you all. I am going to make a page on "Ron's cars". I will leave a link shortly. Renee
