Reggie's Cars at Auction

[NWYENKO]

Dave, are you inferring that I am either a "tire kicker" or "BS'r" or both?? [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/blush.gif[/img] (just kidding). I just found the man to be very uncordial. I asked him for nothing and was not interested in even talking baseball and we were actually at a shoeshine stand in Seattle. As LaDonna said "he was just plain rude!!" Don't want to start a "love/hate" thread about Mr October [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] Jim

You know I love you Jim. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

So, was that cowl-plenum setup available from the factory on a Chevelle? Was it worth a darn performance-wise?

It was an over the parts counter item in the mid 60s. There were a few different versions to fit the different Models.

Well at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale January 2002, Mr. Reggie Jackson was Actually talking to me and Very Friendly--Oh Yea I guess it helped as I was BIDDING on his Orange COPO and he knew it. Ha-ha. We were laughing at 2 guys bidding on a '67 L-89 Corvette and when the guy was the highest bidder Reggie said "Do you know that is an L-89 Corvette NOT an L-88 Corvette?" Maybe I'll see him again this year when we go. Does anyone know the story on the automatic on the floor on his Yenko Chevelle?? Is that Correct?? Mark [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]

I spoke to Mr. Jackson at The Barriett-Jackson in 2002 and was not bidding on his car. I found him to be really nice, and very willing to discuss cars. Midway into our conversation-Mr. Jackson asked me to call him by his first name. Perhaps he is tired of being treated as a "Public item" by so many people, and responds in a negitive way as a result. I just know that after a simple 5 minute conversation he gave me his business card and told me to call him and stop by to see his cars-anytime I was in California. (No I did not take him up on the offer)
