Just a little extra compression there.

-You can see how the engine barely turns over a couple times and then explodes into ignition mode.

My white survivor '68 Z28 came out of Reedman too. Dealer is still there but it has grown a lot bigger today. One of the dealer malls. They have a test track for road tests.

Sold a ton of performance cars there in the 1960s!

I suspect this Chevelle ran Super Stock at one time and maybe even Stock? Back in the late 1960s, Super Stock class would only allow you to run rear slicks that fit in the rear wheel wells. Looks like no mods were done back there. Cool car!

I'm only a minute from Reedman auto. Actually it was bought out by Bruce Toll from Toll Brothers "housing developer" It is now called Reedman-Toll. I have a good friend who's wife has been there for a while, She knows so much that she was kept on after the buy out, and is a big wig in the company. I know people have been trying to get paper work from there for a while. THE PAPER WORK IS STILL AROUND, I've been working on it for about a year know. As part of the buy out they had to get rid of all the old "crap" that was in one of the buildings. I have been told alot off the old paper work is in storage place with alot of office furniture they kept. There is still 2 salesmen that work there still from the 60's. Just my 2 cents.
