I also forgot to mention...that Chevelle is not worth anywhere close to 60K that it has been bid up too in the REAL WORLD. Maybe that much was spent on it (which I can't see that let alone the $300K as stated). I'd like to see financial records to PROVE there is 300K which brings up another point.....if General Motors spent 300K on a 35 year old car at the time...no wonder they are about to go belly up. It has a 350 in it...big deal they are a dime a dozen. I think someone is going to be very disappointed IF they win it unless they have more money than brains. The most I'd pay for that car is $15K and I'd take it apart and redo it.

I have a friend how has one of 4 (maybe 6) produced 1973 Formula Firebird's with an SD455, etc. combination. He's getting older now. Has most everything: engine, trans,. etc. That 300K could go a long way. Get his back to stock...give the rest away. By the way he's a Priest. Started drag racing in the '60s. (his team worked their way up through Pro Stock - now Pro Mod) I do about anything to get him on something like Overhaulin'. Except the car has to run and it's apart. Off the record (I don't think he'll see this post) He's the most dedicated, soft-spoken, knowledgeable guy about the sport I've ever know. He's the Police Chaplain for 30+ years...in a larger city in the Midwest so setting him up for a 'mark' could work out well. I know it won't happen but if anyone has any input on the show there absolutely couldn't be a better candidate. Always God 1st. But this wonderful man has Sunoco 260 running through his veins. Sorry this wasn't about Chevelles but we're all on the same team. SteveZL1 p.s anyone with any ideas please contact me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: Tom Rightler Sent: Sunday, March 29, 2009 9:35 PM To: [email protected], The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Goodmark Chevelle I've seen that car in person...nothing really to get excited about. I expected better quality considering where it came from.
