-----What a string of cars!!! Your Dad had to be an absolute car nut. Do you or your Dad remember if and how he got the fuel injection problems straightened out??? Im from that general area and there were some good injection guys out there. Frost Chevrolet in Wellesley had a good guy, I believe.........Bill S

He ended up meeting John Calley (sp) over at Porter Chevy in Cambridge (raced a black 63 over at Thompson Speedway) and he worked his magic on the cars

Well an amazing update to report .... the two 61 vettes are alive and well ! The RPO 353 is in Florida and believe it or not the RPO 354 is located 25 miles from me .... just insane. I have gathered a bunch of cool day one photos along with some more paperwork and the original owner’s manuals. I think there are a few happy vette owners tonight

The location of these cars were from an anonymous source so please don't ask how they were located - thanks in advance!

Bill - My family is still friends with some of the guys from Porter back in the day so I'll ask and see if they remember anything on the car - you never know

Bruce - The local 61 owner says the car is perfect - can't wait to see it. I have a great picture of my mom in that car day 1 when I meet the owner to get him the paperwork I'm taking my mom and will take a picture of her in it 48 years later should be cool. I have left a message for the owner in Florida but haven't made contact yet but plan on trying again this weekend. I'll post some of the pictures this weekend -

-----"Porter Chevrolet". Theres a dealer name I have been trying to remember. Porter had one of the 201 65 Z16 big-block Chevelles. It was yellow with a black gut and no vinyl top. It was still at the dealer in 66 as I almost bought it. Car was priced pretty cheap but my Mom said "why get a year old car?) so I passed. Wonder what happened to it???.........Bill S
