Why did you immediately pull the motor?
Are you still in the Toronto area?

Somebody owns this car and so I do not wish to be negative

Classy answer, I respect that. What a story, it truly is amazing the knowledge and history amongst us.

Would this be the BB Camaro that Bob McDonald Chev got from Nickey?

No, that was a brand new 396-325 4-spd RS that McDonald loaned to Gil to race. Bob also loaned Gil a brand new blk/red 67 Corvette 435 and one night at the Irving station they swapped the motors. The 435 motor eventually found its way back to the Corvette many years after. Crazy times.

Reading this thread reinforces the view about the incredible knowledge base of muscle car history the members of this site have in their memory banks. It continues to amaze me.

All true but better yet, members here know info is best shared...before it's too late/truths lost/no one left who cares?

Love the Bob McDonald/Gil Tremblay stuff also anything of the Eastern Canada action of the glory years.
Here's a few pics, more in my old confuser I'll dig out and post later.
