|  Re: 1966 Berger Chevelle SS 427/435 
			
			Is the insurance co. arranging repairs or can you take a settlement and car back instead? Either way it's probably best keep negative personal comments in check and instead offer more ca$h for the paperwork if something you still hope to procure from the guy? Was the car converted to a 427 before the original purchaser took delivery or later? Best of luck w/ everything! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img] ~ Pete

			The other guys insurance co is repairing this car. I didn't give them a choice. I told them to either find me a 1966 Berger 427 Chevelle or fix mine. They are fixing the car!! I do not have any evidence that Berger installed a 427 in the car. From what I have learned they put 396/435 HP Corvette heads and intake on the 396 that was in the car. I talked to the second owner of the car and he told me a lot about the original owner and what he did with the car. We do know the car was sold new form Berger Chevrolet and drag raced most of it's life. |

			 No, the Yenko is a clone. It is well done and can be seen on my website: www.longbeachcustosm.com. Check it out there.

			 [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img] had to ask... BTW Beautiful Chevelle, my dad graduated in 66 and lusted over a Lemonwood Yellow  360 HP 4 spd sitting in the showroom at Padgett Chevrolet. I've heard about the car so many times eventually it may show up in his garage...   [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

|  Re: 1966 Berger Chevelle SS 427/435 I'm still working on the Chevelle. It's going to paint in July with hopes of having the car back by fall. Will see how it goes.   |

			Please see the pictures below. The car has been repaired and we are putting it back together. It's been a long slow journey but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.  We hope to have the car completed by early Spring 2019.
