Remember when Charley started up the Rolls Royce Merlin in the 55 Chevy and blew the pictures off the wall? Amazingly loud and you could feel it in your chest.

That was a great event. Glad I was in town to be able to attend and Steve was a great host. Anyone recall what year that was?

Thanks for this! I did own a 69 COPO 427 Chevelle engine and the car came from the Kansas City plant! I am still looking for this car as the engine was removed in '72 when the owner traded the Chevelle for a 1972 Corvette! I bought the engine from his garage where he had stored it for 40+ years!

The Paynes are good friends and Stefano has dealt with them for many years. (great people).

Real deal known car and I will also be at Mecum Indy.

Debbie & Dennis are indeed wonderful people. The Black Fremont COPO Chevelle did belong to Bob Gagliano. It was at one of the early MCACN events and the Payne's fell in lust with it. It has been in their collection since.
