Chevelle Heart,

We bought the L78 vert for $167K. It is going to Omaha for a new museum. It looks to be a real car with build sheets and other docs. I haven't crawled all over it yet to see what all the part numbers are but it looks good so far. We also bought the fathom green Yenko Camaro that was Ron Wilhelm's and Stefano's red Yenko Chevelle.

The white L78 Chevelle Conv is the former Jim Bukovic car. Just talked to him today. Orig drivetrain car. I think he sold it for $10k back in the day ...lol.....when we were kids....

I spotted Charlie, Stephano (tell your butt to stop calling me, especially while I'm fending off the homeless) and a few others. Wished I had visted with more of you, spent half a day at the Pavillions and most of my time a Russo Steele.

Saw Charlie at the 'Mecum Preview'- telling his Robosaurus joke to anyone who would listen. Funny thing was, I really didn't know if Charlie was joking or not.

This was the first year I brought my dad. He walked in and said "Is this the Arizona State Fair, or an auction?" Dad had it right- came away with "BJ is a county fair caught cross-breeding with a casino while a car auction videotapes the act."

Dad found a brown '64 Sport Fury at R&S similar to one he "made a few dollars drag-racing with" during his high school days. Overall, time well spent with the old man.

Keep the Hobby Fun!
