The car looked and sounded great. Congrats! Bob McClurg snapped a shot or two....we'll see how they turned out next week.

Stefano, I had a lot of fun. Sorry we didn't get to talk too much...both of us were very busy. I hope to chat with you at the MCACN Show!

Where will I find the pictures that Bob took that night?

Kurt, I have a Chevelle traction bar from a 1969 Chevelle, 12 bolt rear, it really helped the chevelle's hook up and eliminate wheel hop, they were very popular back then,let me know if you want to try it, pretty easy to install, it just may get you into the mid 12's.
Very nice car, mike

Thanks for the offer Mike but I put some QA1 adjustable shocks on the car and the wheel hop is gone. They're not vintage but it's better than broken parts!

I received a phone call the other day from my engine builder to let me know that they made a mistake on the dyno. He said that the &quot;corrected&quot; setting for the weather was not set. He will be giving me a updated printout with the corrections but he was thinking it will come out around 450hp vs. 421hp. Not that it matters but it sounds good!!! :-)

I have been doing some research on a phone number that Dan Vasic gave me that was on a For Sale sign under the back seat of the Chevelle. As of right now I received a PDF of the Chicago Tribune from September 15, 1977.

The ad reads as follows:

&quot;CHEVELLE '69 SS396 4 sp Body gd cond., 1k. new 402 H.P., tri-power, 12 1/2-1 pistons. Much, much more. Must sell. $1500 or best offer. 252-5964/456-3198.&quot;

Does anyone recognize the numbers or the area around Chicago that they may be in? Also, I blew up the ad and pasted it into a Word document. Is there a way for me to get it onto Photobucket so I can display it?

Thanks, Kurt

Kurt,

Awesome investigation work, you truly are a &quot;Bloodhound&quot;

Wow, no we know for certain that the current paint on this SS396 Post Sedan has been on there since at least September 15th 1977....wow Elvis was dead for a mere 30 days [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif[/img]

This Vega could have belonged to a buddy of mine... it had a header on one side and a stock exhaust manifold on the other side. The rear vanels read....&quot;Suicide is Painless&quot;
