Default Gorries Little Screamer

The first ad is from April 1962 and the second is October 1962. Gorries added the "dealer installed" 360 HP Corvette motor to the "new for 62" Chevy II.

Can you imagine what this would be worth if found with fuel injected motor and documentation.

Pretty hot # for '62!
Gerry Coffey gave his original Gorries &amp; Golden Mile paperwork to Lance a few years before he passed away...[img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]
Also, I expect not these Fuelie cars but believe Gorries ran/sponsored one or more of the early Novas in the Shell Oil sponsored Canada Rallys of the era...62-65?

Ooh, Now that's tasty... and a Black/Red car to boot.

The Hot Rod Thomas &quot;Bomb&quot; article was March '62 with GM part numbers. Someone was spreading this &quot;development&quot; hardware availability info around.
