chevelle motor
 

If the motor came from Connecticut it could have been the car that came from Austin Chevy in Norwalk Connecticut a Blue Yenko.Story goes the car rolled back in time was destroyed.

Yes I acquired the engine in Trumbull, CT & the car was sold new at W.R. Austin, it was initially delivered to Cowgill Chevrolet-Buick-Olds-Pontiac in Caldwell, OH. The engine has been rebuilt by Ray Mancini from Danbury, CT, he moved to TN in 2008, I just recently talked to Ray. I also talked to Brian P at the Camaro Natl's, & he told me the same story about the bank was going to repossess the Chevelle & the owner pulled the engine & buried the car.

I went to Trumbull, CT to look at a 1969 Camaro that an older gentleman has had for over 35 years, it was sold new at Seymour Chevrolet in Greenwich, CT. If anyone remembers this car, please contact me, I would like to find the original owners name, he is deceased & his daughter sold the car to Tony C., & yes, I bought the car & the Yenko engine, the car has been a drag car most of its life, all original sheetmetal except the hood, original deluxe interior is in excellent condition, along with a mint steering wheel with the grain on the rim.
The car is an:
X44 D80
10 10 black car
712 black deluxe interior
AM/FM stereo
4,551 miles

Yes it is a running driving car, the BB was removed and there is a SB in it now with 12-1 pistons, solid lifter cam, 492 angle plug heads w/stud girdles, I will be selling the complete engine, muncie & 5.13 12 bolt soon, I have a video of the engine running if anyone may have interest.
