I love the Ty's, fellas! Those V6's deserve more credit than they EVER recieved. The Ty's/Sy's and GN's are among my list of cars that I am VERY leary of when I'm at the track...with those turbos you just never know!

GaryH: I've got a sickening story about a certain 327/365 'Vette my dad *used* to own...

Yep, there is noting like a turbo V6 . I might let her go this year. To many toys right now. You can message me or post your story if you like. I might get tears in my eyes if it's a sad one though. I bought mine when I was 19. Kept it for 22 years.

This is the newest addition it is a L78 m-21 410 posi car with all original drivetrain and a bunch of cool options. It will get a frame off resto in the near future.

John, is this the Z11 you were talking about from my town: Flemington, NJ? Did Al put you in touch with the original dealer people? Any time you want to return it to its hometown I'm interested. What's another mortgage between friends Here's a photo of my Z11 in Flemington -Steve

Hi Steve, Yes your friend Al was able to help out, he put me in touch with a Sam Risley from Frenchtown NJ who was the New car manager at Taylor Chevy where the car was sold new. Sam remembers driving the car in a parade in Frenchtown he believes it was a town anniversary. Sam said Taylor Chevy ordered many L78 cars they liked the HP cars. The owner of Taylor is somewhere in Florida but he didnt know where. The car was bought by the registered owner before me in 1971 at Smith Ford in Washington NJ Sam said that dealer is still around and I should try and get ahold of them they could still have some records of the previous owner. I havent tried since that was over 30 years ago and wouldnt know where to start.
I also was checking up on the idea of it being the pace car for Flemington Speedway and 2 people said in 69 the Pace car was a 69 Indy pace car. Thanks for the help.

Gary,
Thanks, I wish the garage was bigger (I'd like a "small addition" about the size of Charley's buildings)
The Gold one is a factory 402/4 speed .
I also have a 71 SS454 (still in the garage) which will be my next frame off...and another gold 70 402 with A/T, behind the garage ( which I'm begining to consider converting into a convertible)
I've been into the Montes for some time too...
the brown 72 was my first car, my folks owned it since 73.
The 4 speed 70 is the first car I bought and paid for.
I've had it for 17 years now (not a bad buy for a 17 year old kid at $1200)
