Cars with Cragars

[Day2_69Z]

Barry,
do you have that still or was it traded off?
My Dad, in 70, bought a rolled over LS6 from a Viet Nam Vet,,,,a week before his mom cosigned 1/2 the loan just as he got home from Nam....no insurance and out of cash, he sold it wrecked.
As a pre-teen my uncle showed me how to "cut up a car" with an acetylene torch... Just in the last few years I sold off the engine & trans (M22/LS6 combo)
The bench seat shifter sold at Carlisle, the ZL2 COWL INDUCTION air cleaner ,I still have.
Astonishing,,,,, a week later Dad bought another 70 Cowl hood car that a discharged Nam Vet had run off the road into ambutment (Silver / Black) LS5 ,,,,,I have that AC as well.
Word got around and don't you know a Daytona Yellow Z/28 and an L88 Corvette was acquired in similar cases. All wrecked before the first payments were made,all un-insured and by service men home from Nam.
At one time that summer and fall , I think there were as many as 7 wrecked/totaled Chevy Hi perf cars in our driveway and back yard.
Interesting enough we still have parts & pieces left from those. .. I was 11 and the second coolest kid in our neighborhood.
