I knew that car well when the original owner had it. Really is a shame that much of its original condition has now been lost
Yes, that car was at the Chevelle Showdown in Schaumburg IL back in the late 80's or early 90's.

Thanks Bill,
I hadn't heard before that it had been wrecked. I took some pics of it while at Chevelle Showdown because of it's low mileage, as well as Bill Bonham's Fathom Blue one. |

I need to find my photos of this car and scan them. This thing was unbelieveable and if I recall, I am thinking the mileage was something like 7900 around 5 years ago. Had I known that the car would some day be torn down and restored I would have tried a little harder to keep it closer to home. This is one car that I feel should have been left unrestored.

Rick I definitely agree with that. There was a black 33K mile LS6 that was sold last year that I was part of. Many people were bothering us to restore this part or that part, but in the end it was cleaned up, original parts reinstalled, and sold as unrestored. They're only original once as we all know. |

I saw this car race at Oswego in the early 70's. I made some duplicate photos of the car that I had taken at the time and gave them to Scott S., one of the subsequent owners.
The only real problem that the car had was some severe paint cracking, maybe that's why they felt the need to restore it.

Here's a picture of the car trying to get a little daylight under the front tires at Oswego Drag Strip back in the day
