Steve, remember mine??? (see attachment) You probably remember it when it was red before I tubbed it. Of course, mine wasn't a real SS but I modified it so much it didn't really matter. Sold it in 95 and lost track of it. Was somewhere in NY last I knew. Blown 454, Doug Nash 5 speed, 9" Ford rear. Been trying to track it down just to see what happened to it.

Holy Cow! Is that you Mark? I just went over to the thread on the "ZL1 and Yenkos at B-J" and saw your response on the Armstrong Show photos. Too cool dude!

So how have you been?

Hung out at the shop this morning. He's made some progress on the car. The owner wanted him to remove the roll bar (yes, everything taken off has been carefully packaged up for storage and is not for sale).

He finished the brakes, replacing the shoes and wheel cylinders at each corner, as well as the master cylinder (he's sending the original out for a rebuild so this one is the temporary replacement). He flushed out the tank and lines which still had a few gallons of well-preserved racing fuel that was crystal clear and smelled pretty good.



Valvetrain, still nice and shiny. I heard the monster run a few weeks ago. Sounds very angry!



The original slicks still hold air nicely.



The interior. The owner has pealed the palomino fabric off the doors. Needs a bit of cleaning inside...and no, it's not for sale - the "for sale" sign was a practical joke.



The underside. very dusty but rust-free.
