Thanks Steve.

I found out a little more info last night. A fellow named Kevin Burchell raced the car in a number of Muscle Car Shootouts in the mid to late '80's. Best time was 13.0 with street tires and manifolds. The car ran 12.65 @ 110 mph with "sticky tires, Centerlines and headers". Not bad [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img] Jog any memories???

I think I remember a Kevin racing a red 67 L78 at one of the first musclecar shootouts back in the early-mid 80's. I can look through my stack of magazines for the coverage if you want me to.

Thanks Jeff, That's probably the same guy. He also raced a Camaro that was called "The Colonel" and was sponsored by the family's KFC franchises. He said the car was in Car Craft and Hot Rod in addition to the other mag I listed earlier. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

After you sold it to Alan he kept it until last year. He kept it in wa. until a couple years ago and brought it to arizona. A week or so after it was in arizona it got stolen. He got it back (amazing story but i wont get into that) with no real damage to the car. The hicks emblem was missing and the car was dirty. We cleaned it up and I took it to the Pavilions cruise in scottsdale on auction weekend . I think we may taken it there a couple years. Its very cool car. He sold it last year and i believe its in the mid west but not sure

Thanks Plum L78. I appreciate you taking the time to post. It is a very cool car being a 4P car etc. I had heard that Allan had passed away, so it’s good to know he is ok. Someone contacted me last year asking for info on the car. I think I recall them saying that a friend of theirs owned it in Texas and was thinking of selling. I’m sure it will pop up in time…Thanks again!

Thanks. I’m not looking to buy it, I was just was curious where it was given the news (luckily false) that I was given about Allan last year. I found all of my notes from speaking to the previous owners last night when I was looking for my notes on the other red L78. That is what prompted my question about it.

For anyone who knows the whereabouts of any of my old cars, one that I would be interested in buying would be the red/red Cone Chev 67 Z. Also the Bill Heard 67 Z, but I know who owns that one currently.
