hi jeff,
the brothers were david and john D'olivera. they were from taunton massachusetts. the car was originally coded as lemans blue. when it came to the mainland it was white, had no hood and ran fenton solid mags all the way around. i'm trying to get the springs out right now. it rides like crap. the car actually was optioned with air condition and rear defogger. everything had been stripped out before they purchased it. had the 12 bolt with 4.88 gears and bolt on ladder bars. also had a fresh 396 and supposedly ran low 12's. the 2 seem to be quite the bs artists but there seems to be some truth. they stated it was owned and raced by some racer on the island when they purchased it. thanx mike

thanx bill,
definately more of an upper east coast thing. a buddy of mine growing up had a 70 375 hp chevelle with them on and i loved them. between the headers and the oil pan gotta be careful on the ground clearance. mike

-------Yup, got to watch those railroad track crossings. My cousin had a set on his side-oiler 67 GT500 Shelby and had to cut flattened sections out weekly as he couldnt bring himself to raise the front end of a Shelby and couldnt afford to change them out.............Bill S
