Very nice read. Thanks! Do you know how many exist today?

[juliosz]

I believe all still exist. I remember there was one car which was not complete and from the last I heard it still is not. The other interesting fact I recall is that Dick ended up with a surplus of transaxles so he kept a few and sold the rest to Gratiot Auto Supply.

New guy here, recently joined to do some research on some parts I have. Anyway, here is a pic of my first car, a 68 Chevelle L78 SS396. This is the only pic I have of it, circa 1974. When I bought it, it was a race car. Original bench seat 4 speed, manual steering, 4 wheel non power drum brakes, and factory 4.10's, which had been swapped out for 4.56's. Had way cool Tubular Automotive headers that wrapped around the front crossmember, Tarantula intake with the twisted carb, air shocks, ladder bars, line lock, Hurst Ram Rod vertical gate shifter, etc. Way too much car for a 16 yr old driver, combined with the piss poor drum brakes, I spun it out and crunched the left 1/4 pretty good. Ended up buying a 71 Chevelle SS454 LS5 car with a blown motor for $300 and swapping the whole drive train into it. Tried to sell the mint nose off the 68 for a while, finally just sold the shell to a junk yard. What a bummer, wasn't even that bad, needed a 1/4 and a trunk floor extension, had no idea what I had at the time.

I heard some good stories from Mike about that car... I'm sure Mike still wishes he had this car today.
