Somebody has his 55 Nomad. Maybe they will snatch the vette up.

That was a killer corvette in its day. I would say $45,000 in US money is pretty close. </div></div>

DAMN, good to know, I'm a PUP at 50! Just when I've been going through mid-life crisis thinking I'm getting old LOL.

It does seem like a nice car,

Kinda stumbled upon this conversation by mistake so I'll add my 2cents . I was lucky to watch both of Pauls cars back in the day at Englishtown &amp; Sanair. I would like to own that Vette to park it in my garage next to his nomad that I am now the caretaker of. That is a steal for the history it has,don't get any better than world champion. I'd hate to tell you what I think the nomad is worth !

Hey congrats and thanks for checking in. So it sounds like you'll be going after the Vette. Good luck.

Any pix of the Nomad you could share?! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

I'm really kinda surprised nobody mentioned Joe Scotto, who was partnered with Paul Blevins on both the 'Vette and the'55. Also, Bill Izykowski, who actually drove the 'Vette for a while. If you look over the door on the 'Vette, you'll see Bill's name listed as driver. I'm pretty good friends with Joe and Bill and we have &quot;bench raced&quot; quite a bit about both cars. A TON of history in both of those race cars.

Both names also appear over the doors on the nomad,When I had it relettered I didn't have them put on,as of yet, Izzy busted my chops about it not being there ! Both Joe &amp; Bill are great guys, On the other hand Paul could be a bit moody at times. Don't know if the vette is sold yet, It needs to be lettered,and have a period correct engine in it.

Had a pretty good conversation yesterday with Joe Scotto about their old Corvette. Shared lots of detailed &amp; interesting facts,&amp; memories of the building &amp; racing history of the car, Made his day for sure to talk about it
