DANA "427" Camaro found...thanks to Jeff Chlupsa

[olredalert]

------What a story!!! To top it off the parts sellers are not going to make much off the restoration. There dont appear to be any parts missing at all. Long time owner looks like a good guy. Bet he will be making a few trips to the 48 for various shows. Be neat to see him make a pass in his car once or twice.........Bill S

So the engine installed by Dana was an no Vin '69 big car LS suffix L72/M40?.

Compared to that other carport LS6,it's remarkably solid for having been(relatively)exposed to the elements since the Nixon admin..still wearing it's black plates too!

a 270 casting 427 block is an early 69 casting..... must have waited a few months to do the conversion

SS mentions that in his original post, an April '69 conversion.

.....Included in the paperwork that Bert got when he bought the car was a 2-page detailed Dana Chevrolet work order/invoice that listed all the conversion parts and labor done to the car in April, 1969....

Wow....the car could not have found a better home with Steve....and SCW will only turn it into "Top Gun" award winner.

Congrats to you all.

It has to come to SCR10.....before and after....SCR11.
