Andy...I'll go further out on the limb and bet the Vette is out there but already has it's matching # engine.  [/ QUOTE ] But probably not as an L-89 only as a standard L-71.... Some lucky SOB is gonna start crying.

Re: Never give up searching !
I have a little more info on the early history of this car and I thought maybe this would stir a memory that could lead me deeper. Second owner/owners of this HO sYc Chevelle, Blk top/stripes, auto, were some sort of partners out of Mercer,Pa. who drag raced the car, stock appearing except for centerline styled alum wheels, ladder bars, summer bros axles with long studs, possibly a different hood with scoop (unsure on this item), estimated years 1974-1977. These partners may have had a garage or body shop business. Anybody western PA or Youngstown, Ohio lend more info to this search ? Thank You !

Check December Muscle Car Review... [/ QUOTE ] I can read, but, you know how magazines can be. I'd rather get the details from the owner's mouth.

Re: Never give up searching !
Kevin,Mike The Magazine article is all wrong on My old Z28. I told Kevin that before and there is no proof of the car being built by jenkins! When I talked to him after I bought it,He mentioned that he and his kid rebuilt the engine in 72 after they blew it at atco. He never once said anything about jenkins building the car! He said the never had a chance to run it again. Then it sat for 15 years and the wife sold it to Harry Lutz,A local racer who was going to tub it and put in a automatic! He didnt have the heart and put it in a local trader mag and I bought it from him. I rebuilt the whole car from top to bottom and I made that car what it is today!And when the article says the motor hasnt been apart in years and nobody knows what in it is a joke.I built the engine in the car not jenkins. I know every part thats in it. One thing they got right is it is a running son of a bitch. Im sorry I sold it. Mike Wilkenson [aka dajudge]who I sold the car to is going to post the pics I gave him of me restoring the car. Tune In! I hope nobody gets upset over this but the truth should be known.
 Kevin,If you want the pics I have I will make copys for you if you ever need them. I dont believe anything mags say about cars anymore after the article.
