The car was in Westford MA in 1984 and was said to be in Littleton MA before that. Do you recall a Ron's speed shop in RI?

The Chevelle was traded in to Scuncio in 1971, but I have no history on what happened to it afterwards. I have traced the Chevelle back to 1982 through previous owners, but the owner in 1982 (in Littleton, MA) had bought the Chevelle off a used car lot so he didn't know the previous owner. I haven't been able to fill in the gap from 1971 to 1982.

Can you post that clip you have?

Relative to the picture, I would not think that is the same type of badging of a 427 under the SS is the same as that restored black example presented.

I don't know whether my Chevelle wore 427 badges after it left Norwood Motors?
Yes, it had factory disc brakes.

I would think for $6400, there would be some 427 badging showing. Odds are the original owner would remember that?

This Chevelle sounds like Helmut's car as described by the original owner.

I've bombarded him with a lot of questions, including that same question... but he simply hasn't answered all my questions yet.
