That Comfort Custom shot is a 68 Chevelle, not even the same car? Vent windows and grill (hint)

Thats right ! Janne why did you think it was the Convincer ?
Here is another shot from 1981 with the sponsorname on it.

I would like to go to New Jersey to visit Pete Dedella, Dan Rich and Joe Spino, if possible. But Pete has a secret phonenumber so I can´t get hold of him.
Kevin, could you or mabye John(4274speed) try to find out a way to get in contact with Pete ?

Thanks

I'm told Pete DeDella has moved to Florida. His old phone number from NJ is no good. I don't have any other leads at this time.

Here is another pic of the HemiCuda when i still had it´s American sponsorname "Speedwin" on the doors.
Pic was taken by a guy from Linköping who I bought some old magazines from yesterday.

Going through old magazines I found this pic of the Convincer II in Colorod #11 1977. It was taken during the 1979 season after the car had been repainted.

Going back through this thread, I see I missed Kevin's question...the earliest 9562 Chevelle vin# I have is naturally a Yenko car (B34xxxx) while this B379xxx vin is just prior to the earliest non-Yenko COPO Chevelle I have info on...looks like Yenko got 50+ before everyone else got privy to the COPO Chevelles.

[BTW: I've started working on the COPO/Yenko Chevelle database/registry again, so if anyone would like to donate any info, please do!]

I made a typo in my last post . The pic is from Colorod #11 1979. The Convincer II was still in the USA in 1977.
