----Looks like a really good driver, Tim. Exceptional body. Love the pic of the trunk with the bullets still on the tail lights. Wondering if it's worth chasing down heads that are dated to the block (not the car). Or maybe dated to the car as it's possible that only the short block was replaced at the time and original heads were used up until 66 and then replaced....Bill S

Great minds think alike. Don't think for a minute I haven't been looking for some 461X's. The late 61 castings would support the warranty story, but then it's still a story. My thoughts are if this were to stick around (and then I have to sell SOMETHING else), A good set of worked over 461X's and an LT-1 cam, I'd have a package that would pull 7000 RPM and be an absolute hoot to drive. And not one number in that motor to worry about! Of course the original T-10 may protest that type of behavior.

Regardless of that nonsense, the car is an awesome driver that will turn heads and be a treat to cruise.

Every time I read about you and your Dad, drinking beer and car trading, I'm reminded of the old saying "cut from the same cloth". I'm willing to believe it's not just the same bolt of cloth and the only thing that separates you two is the cut it took to make 2 pieces. Congratulations on having such a wonderful relationship with a Dad that raised a good Son.

Well said there. That’s a rare and very fortunate situation, indeed.

Tim, when you were telling me about this car, I didn’t realize it was white/red. My ideal C1 color scheme. This is definitely my (our) kind of car. The 1962 design is so restrained/refined versus the earlier C1s.

Thanks Mitch. We have always been tight. I see him more as a best friend, than my Dad. As you can imagine, some of our shared interests have occasionally made my Mom and Tracey a little upset with our decision making processes
