YDR, it just might - I'm a green freak. My first car was a 73SS Nova that was Frost Green. A Greek guy named Gus painted the car and when I picked it up he told me it was Forest Green. I was 19 and never questioned it until just recently I saw a picture of a 73SS Nova the same color. The caption said it was Frost Green. It was then I realized the guy had such a heavy accent he was trying to say Frost but it sounded like Forest. I loved the color but I wonder how many people over the years rolled their eyes when I said it was Forest Green? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

Marlin, I didn't realize that the single 3/8 fuel line meant it was a 375hp from the factory. I've been bumming since Sunday because I thought all BB's had to have 2 fuel lines. Now the biggest remaining item is why does it have a small block transmission xmember and I may have some insight. Without a doubt the radiator support is a big block. But, it has a small block radiator in it. I noticed when I bought the car the radiator was much too small for the opening in the support - 2 or 3 inches small with the gap being on the driver's side. Anyway, my hunch is that someone took the transmission and radiator out of a 70 Chevelle and put it in my car. I need to get a VIN# off the tranny to see if it matches up to my thoughts. Any special numbers I can use to ID the radiator (I'm going to check Colvin's book anyhow. So the big question remains - why a SB transmission xmember? YDR, super nice cars. Is that second one forest green? I'm dying to see all of Todd's lined up especially with lowmiles old car in there!

yes marlin that plate would look good on my front bumper..beautiful car also..

Re: 69 BB identification
 

I can id the radiator if it still has the tag on it. If it does not have the tag get the two large embossed letters off of the right and left tank. If there are no embossed letters it is probably an aftermarket radiator.
