The owner lived in Showegan Maine. Drove down to Motion's shop in Jan 69 with his brother. Said the car was in the back corner of Motion's shop covered with dust. When they opened the hood he realized it was something different by the unpainted Aluminum Heads. The original Baldwin P-O-P shows it was originally 396/375 L78 motor before the transplant. The new delivery date is 1-29-69 with his name and address on the P-O-P. Said he had it just over a year then traded in for a shelby Mustang in Connecticut. Said that was a mistake. I would agree with him on that one.

Kevin, Those pictures are Priceless and you are lucky to have them!! Thanks for sharing them with us. Again I can't believe how much your car looks like my '68. I thought it was a rally sport and a dark color. Maybe someday we can display them side by side at a show. Maybe someone can take a picture of us doing burn-outs!! Take care, Mark

Actually I am in need of a Hood Tach. Do you or any one out there have one? It should be the same as the one on my Camaro, in that appears to be the same style as the GTO Pontiac Hood Tach, but says Chevrolet on the face.

Mark,

The planning that you put into the restoration of your car was right on the money. You really were true to the L-88 as Motion had completed the car. You should duplicate the old photos today with your L-88.... Dare ya to smoke [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] em up..!

Pete,
I hate to contaminate the site with barge photos but will see what I can do [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] . As I have no scanner, I will have to shoot the photo and post that.
