Russo and Steele tent pics and BJ pics Friday!

We drove by the Russo and Steele auction area today on the way to Barrett-Jackson..so I snapped some pics from the freeway...

I talked to Stefano and Jacquie today...and they still don't know the outcome of any of their cars there.

There are certainly lots of rumors flying about...which doesn't help https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

Holly and I went to Barrett-Jackson and met up with Paul Martin...and a name that Ken Kwhizz should know, Greg Weld! We sat for hours watching the auction...so I only have a few pics....I know that Rick from Maryland (and soon to be AZ) should have a lot more!

We also were able to meet up with Grady, Mike Angelo, Charley, Stefano, Bob Ashton, Mike Guarise, Sam Griffith and Ed Montini.

Stan Harvill, Bob Anderson and Dave Oscher were there as well! It was great to see all of you! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

I think it sold for $62,000. I was just looking at pictures of my old L78 which was Norwood built and my old car's engine stampings look quite different from this car.

Re: Russo and Steele tent pics and BJ pics Thursday!

In the first picture of this set was a 69 camaro with flames in the stripes. Can anybody tell what it sold for?

Re: Russo and Steele tent pics and BJ pics Thursday!

The engine compartment in that R/T Charger is just mind-numbing in details! Absolutely incredible! But yeah, that 1970 L-78 Camaro does have a strange deck stamp. Look at how close to the cylinder head the Tonawanda stamp is. It's WAY to close to the cylinder head and I know that there's no way that was stamped while assembled as a long block. That short block was stamped first and then the heads were installed and that's not how Tonawanda did it.

But that is how Tonawanda stamped all big blocks. Due to the plug in the end of the BB head.

That is typical location for BB stamping and Kurt is correct.

The story is the cars history doesn't add up.
