I know I took pictures of the carb with the air cleaner off but I cannot find them in my stack. The car is not very accessable at the moment so I will get them for you later or possibly at VetteFest.

We would have loved to have run the car at the strip but after having sat for 30 years, we want to make sure the engine is sound before that happens. The plan was to have made a mild pass at SCR06 but with the bad weather and short race time, we opted to let the racers run and do it another time. The engine runs 100% better now then when we brought it home. It was pretty sick until it got loosened up, a major tune up, carb overhaul, new fluids, etc. Big blocks like to drop valves when they have not been run regularly and that is not a good thing so we need to make sure everything is sound first. The past owner said the car was a slug and ran in the mid 15's. I think he was missing something as it has a lot more there than that and the valve covers haven't even been off yet!

Hey Chad you showed me some pretty nice pictures of the car when we were sitting in your trailer at the track. Maybe you could share a couple.

I have a couple of questions.
Who/where was the original selling dealer?
Who is the actual owner of this car? I assume it is the fellow I talked to at the reunion about this car and asked him to e-mail me. In any event would he do so at his convenience?

Dave,
Chad's computer is sick so if you don't mind me answering.........

the original selling dealer from what we have come up with was Van's Chevrolet who was just down the road from Harrell's shop. At this point in time, we do not know the sequence of events surrounding the original purchase as we have not located the original owners name yet.

Chad is the rightful owner of the car. You talked with both of us after the banquet. Chad was the big guy, I was the smaller one, sort of like in the movie "Twins". [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img] Sorry we did not get back to you. I will PM you.
