Day 2 ZL1

[Pantera]

I am glad that you were not upset by my suggestions. They are some that I learned the hard way myself. My only problem is that that was back in 1972 and the pic of my 70 Baldwin motion vette are too far away and I used a polaroid which don't offer much to show the car and now I would give anything to find better pic of my cars from back then. If only I had been able to learn this from a forum like this then I would not have a pic like this one that you can just barely tell what the car is. Live and learn. I just wanted to try to help you not make the mistakes I made way back then. Glad you took it in a good way. Digital cameras offer the ability to get better pic that ever before. I am looking forward to seeing the new pic you take.

Great Car!!!! Is that white with gold?

[Pantera]

Yes it is. I am working on a new web page for it so that I can share it with everybody. I bought it in Mar of 74 and it only has 15,200 mi on it now. Motor has a rod tapping from running FTD at Hallett Motor raceway at a SCCA autocross. This is a bad pic of it but here it is toping the hill coming on the back straight. Should not have put such sticky tires on it. Ran it out of oil I guess? It had a LS-6 in it when I got it after the 2nd owner overheated the original LS-7 that Joel sold it with. Those motors don't like Dallas traffic. Either I had not put enought miles on it to have it broke in good or it ran out of oil.

I want to build it back with a LS-7 but the LS-6 that is in it now is more than enough to satisify anybody.

Larry,

Love the small picture of your Vette's rear quarter under your name block! Love the mail-slot tail lights. -Bill

[Pantera]

That is pure Motion workmanship. I took that pic back in '78. I love that car. Actually I love both of them equally. Here is a bigger pic of it.

Hey Larry, the shifter in that thing.. Did you add that or was it in there when you bought it? Never seen a curved Hurst bar like that in a Vette.

[Pantera]

That is the way it came. I had a few come through Super Cars when I ran the lot but most were the short straight one's. never paid much attention to it but I like it better than the staight ones. Less chance of missing 3 rd.

Don't you know that it is kinda hard to lean forward to shift to 3rd in that rocket ship.
