Did you ever have any luck tracking down that ZL1 block that you guys had purchased from this area back then...or find your numbers notes?.

I had one of those 76/77 Montes for a while.. One day I came upon a buddy traveling the same direction on the hiway and as per the custom between the boys back then, bopped that big Monte bumper into the back of his '80 Honda Civic at about 70 Mph!. I pulled up beside him in the passing lane laughing as I knew from his swerve after the impact that I'd taken him by surprise...you can imagine how quickly I stopped laughing when I looked into the driver's window and an angry stranger's face!.

On highway 30 between Marshalltown (where I live) and Cedar Rapids there use dto be a Clark station which had an auto garage across the highway. I can remember seeing two winged Mopars which used to sit there.....Today, the only thing which sits outside of this building are some old dumptrucks.That is the vacinity where a Yenko Chevelle is rumored to be rotting in a farmer's ditch-- sans front clip. Haven't been able to lay eyes on it myself, or get the exact directions to it (this is absolutely necessary in our neck of the woods)....but do have a friend who claims to know right where it is. Some friend, huh!It is hard for me to believe that there was so much supercar steel within a 100 mile radius....wish I could travel back in time!
