This pic is from a 1983 car show in Naperville, about 25 miles from Joliet. Could this be the car?

Well, you might think so as it looks like a twin to what I remember, BUT Bob Fuller was the original owner of that car and still owned it after the time i saw the other one.

Oddly I know that owner.

I lived 18 miles from Clinton Iowa and sold a car to Jerry Lampe, a restoration body man that worked for the Fuller brothers in Clinton. The car I sold to Jerry was a LS6 hardtop that I believe he later sold to the Fuller brothers.

That sale was a strange deal as I took a 1965 Griffith on trade that my partner had sold to Jerry about a year earlier.

It is still a small world.

------Knew Bob F well. Was it this year or last that several of us saw his old LS6 vert in Scottsdale??? I bought a 66 red Hemi Satellite 4spd from Jerome Shinkay that he had bought from Bob. It supposedly had won best of show at some Hemi convention. Loved the car but decided to sell it at an auction that Richard sponsored. Bob showed up with a blue 454 T-top 1970 coupe and when I didnt get enough for the Hemi in the auction we ended up trading cars so Bob got his Hemi back that he said he never wanted to sell in the first place. Somehow, all this rubbed Bob the wrong way and he was mad at me for years. I was the one who should of been mad as he slipped the Corvette past me with a very well done one piece nose that I never saw until after we had traded. Oh well. Sold the Vette rather quickly as it was a pretty nice old car even with the Eckler nose.......Bill S

Well, all of this goes back 30+ years for me.
BTW, Jerry Lampe's cousin Joe lived up the river from Clinton and I had bought a 69 Big block Corvette from him durning the same era. During the dealings Joe told me that he had once owned a 63 Chevy with the "mystery motor" ZL11 I believe was the code??

Did the cars have a stench in them from being down the road from ADM or is that something from within the last 10 years?

I can't get the smell out of a car that I bought from there 7 years ago. Heavy doses of ozone didn't help either.

ADM was called Clinton Corn back in those days, and the smell was all over town when the wind was right. I don't ever remember a car being impregnated with it though.
