Wow...Thanks Bob! I was able to get Mr. King into the Street Machine Nationals West for free, via the placard that you put inside your car...explaining what the car was...he ended up asking for a "new" one after he got inside...he told the show that he "lost" it . I know...I know...it wasn't right, but it was a really cool Camaro...with a cool owner and a fascinating story and we displayed side by side...him, in his Camaro...and me in my bro Gary's RS/SS!



I'm not near Lake Havasu city...but Stuart Adams is...whaddya need? I could always take a drive out there...

Bob,
If you have any Sports Car Graphic magazine issues, I am desperately looking for a 1971 issue, that has the indepth road test for a 1971 LS6 Corvette. I do not know which months issue it was, however I know it wasn't April 1971. I suspect it was May thru July, however I do not know for sure. Any help in this matter would GREATLY appreciated. I would be more than happy to buy it from you.

Thanks, Warren

Rick,

Thanks, I have that issue, pretting interesting story about the LS7 option for the 1970 Corvette. Paul Van Valkenburg was a Chevrolet engineer and his book he wrote about Chevrolet Racing? is pretty neat.

There were 7 LS7 engines shipped from Tonawanda to Chevrolet Engineering in Warren, MI. Five of these were returned. Terry McManmon, an NCRS '70 to '72 expert asked Duntov one time, if all the test mule LS7 cars were destroyed. Duntov just smiled, and replied that he personally signed the destruct order for these cars.

Didn't they blow the motor on that car during the test?

No. The article talks about Pauls trip back to Detroit from Riverside, Ca where it was tested. The author tells what it was like driving this beast all the way to Detroit,MI.
