Bill, how funny. I was there to see Steve, he's a bit out of the picture. He was actually standing still and got hit from behind. He's a good racer, I'll be there in a week to see him go for his third National Championship in a row. He has the SCCA record at Road America and a few other tracks.

Tim,

That is funny! You know both Tom O'Grady & Steve Forer, 2 guys I sold cars to! What a small world. While I was delivering the Chevelle up to Steve's house in White Fish Bay Wisconsin, Steve was ahead of me leading the way, and we stopped off at his "Mechanic" to look at his Corvette being repaired after a crash in the summer of 2007. Do you know if he still has my old Black 1967 SS Chevelle? I knew when I sold it to him it would have a good home.

Bill

Steve sold it, he had a business crunch in 2010. I bought his 427 Cobra and wanted to also buy the Chevelle, but the Cobra was all I could swing at the time. He's bounced back now, was on lake Michigan in his Donzi in July (BRIC weekend), he does nothing half speed.

We swam together at University of Wisconsin in the 70's, he's a good guy and one of my best friends for 36 years.

I gave him the thumbs up on the Chevelle as I saw it at Phesant Run and called him about it.

That's to bad. Do you know where it ended up going? I always like keeping track of where all my cars are. I remember him telling me a group of his friends came up from Texas in a Mototorhome and called him about my Chevelle when it was at Phesant Run back in 2007. That must of been you and your Buddys. Tell Steve hello for me when you see him . That sure was a fun car to drive. Not as much fun as when I had the LS-7 in it. Thanks for the update Tim. Ahh.... Memories, almost as much fun as finding them and restoring them.

Bill

That group was us in good old Paul D's motor home, rest his soul. I called you and we visited by phone about the car prior to Steve buying it. It sold to a fellow in Pennsylvania, a friend of the guy that handles his race car.

How funny, I never knew it was your car.
