Yes, Charley, I do!

At least there is not a YALE in my garage, just a Phoenix!

I just spoke to a Friend that says he thinks the JL8 car is a real one from Simi Valley that he didn't buy years ago. In fact he sold me the crankshaft out of it when I bought a real JL8 Z from him that Jeff Hansbury now has. He also had the steering column and Rosewood wheel out of it. A Kid owned it at the time and was doing a full custom so he didn't need any of the orig stuff. It had no paperwork so he didn't buy it.

I assume you're referring to DH. I sure hope that JL8 was a legit car, especially for the hobby in general. Any idea what the VIN was on that car? Curious to see another LA built JL8.

[Charley Lillard]

Yes it was Dave..I don't know the vin.

Charley,

Do you know if the kid who owed the car works at a Dealership? If so I know who put that car back together. I tried to find that car on Saturday but, I think the guy move it off site. If that is the car I think it is, it will make a grown man cry. By the way I like your Yale and Barrett was packed on Saturday. You could not move.

I found it a bit odd that I could not find the Winters mark on the intake manifold......

Was it a polished crossram?

[Charley Lillard]

No the intake wasn't polished. Probably a Offenhauser with the name ground off then bead blasted.

Charley, several years ago, there was a fella up in Ventura County area that was an old Hollywood actor who purchased a Z28 from a dealer waaaay back when. I met a friend of his who introduced me to him once way back in the early 90's and got him to sell me one of those AC TALL X-Ram air filters(un-opened boxes) he had for my then Azure X33 X-Ram set-up. He had about 20 of them; they were spares to his X-Ram Z28. That was the car he purchased and had then. That car was a Black Z....

There was a black RS/Z that went through B/J back in the mid 1990's that was also a LA built car. That car was also a JL8, crossram car with a lot of options. It was owned by a FL collector that had home up this way. Car didn't have any paperwork either. Any thoughts on who has it now?
