Wow! and I thought I had seen and knew most every trait to these cars! Joe, can you or I send a copy of this to Mark. He and I have never discussed this emblem and am sure he would love to see it. Can I have it????

Rick, 396/425blr sent me the pic, it is of his car. He would be the one to ask. Provided they are the original emblems, they would be the fourth version of 427 bezels for 1968. I knew I had seen a photo of them on a car somewhere before, so this is not the first i have seen or heard of them, but I've never actually viewed one up close. Pretty neat piece huh?

I live in the town with Bill Heard Chevy. If I run across any old dealership badges I'll let you know if you are interested. John Peacock lives 1 mile from me and has run his own body shop for years. He is one of the local Corvette gurus. Small world.

[/ QUOTE ] Hi Dave, I spoke to John right after I bought the car in Dec '88, very friendly and sharp guy. John Carter from Louisville bought the car from Peacock and then flipped it to me outside of the Kruse Miami Beach Auction, same night that Gary bought his white Yenko Camaro there.... I think Peacock was real tight bud's with Lamar Walden?

Rick, Just got word via e mail from Dennis that its cool to send mark the pic and see if he knows anything about it... he's eager to learn more about them too.

I will invite Mark over here. Good guy. Thanks Joe and Dennis.

--------What a small world, Jim. My 1986 El Camino was bought new by John Carter. I bought it from a bud of his just weeks after he let it go. He has quite a drag-racing history down around there, you know..........Bill S
