Why would I do that? A true Chevy guy to the core.

A few years later he had the Ncrs guys out to his garage mahal, the 69 Camaro, 67 vette and an import were there. On the wall is a viper intake manifold, I asked what the story was on it, he says, that is scrap and I have a receipt for it from Chrysler

He always had the right answer for any question somebody would ask him

Thanks Kurt, just read the whole story and WOW, what a life he had with GM. By the time he went to Chrysler, I was happy to read he had 16 years of satisfying and rewarding employment with them.
