Hey COPO...and all you other guys...check your old pics...Im sure someone must have a pic of my car with the wheels in the air back in the day!!!!! Thanks!!!

Finally got a pic ready...Im havin a hard time with the resizing....this was the motor before it was built....basically 90% NOS parts...besides the original block and heads...this was in my living room...my exploded view...

Ill try to post more soon...I suck at these pc's....
...the motor is totally built and will be put on the dyno next week God willing!!!! In real curious what the "real" HP will be...

...also FYI the original owner's name is Herman Robinson from Baltimore also...I have had absolutely no luck tracking him down....he would be 70 yrs old now....anyone know/remember this guy???...the car has never been registered, so Im certain he must have raced it early on....

...hopefully the pic works...

great story. Amazing that someone way back then had the $$ to buy one just for fun and never registering it to drive on the street. Quite an expensive car back then..

Not as expensive as you think...although the car listed for over 7k, it sat at the dealers lot for a year before finally being sold for 4800 bucks!!! The dealer took a big hit on that car!!!...
It is really interesting on the docs that I have from Norwood to Gibb, back to Norwood and eventually to Govans Chevrolet...and when it was finally sold, some of the paperwork was filled out as a 70 Camaro, and then crossed out and written in 69, because the car finally sold in June of 1970!!! But still 4800 was a lot back then I guess!!
