Capital Chevrolet in Utah

[x44d80]

This car was originally sold at Capital Chev in Ut. I think there was a Capital in Denver.

Here's another photo. This is the car I am working on. It's the possible COPO x44d80. It doesn't look like this now. If you guys would like to see a car most people would scrap I'd be glad to post a "This is what I had to start with photo".

I should have asked this in the last post but wasn't the hood scoop in this photo available at JC Whitney's until a few year's ago? It was a fiberglass scoop mounted on top of the steel ZL-2 hood.

I will post tomorrow. I just figured out my new scanner and the other photo's are out in the shop with the car.

Whitetop, may be able to help you with that scoop---he seems to have a good source of old catalogs--I just have a current JC Whitney catalog.--Post when you get a chance.--JoeG

one was capital chevy. the other one was in Magna,Ut. and that was Gus Paulos chevy. Both dealers sold supercars. and Paulos Chevrolet sold Kevin Sadum's ZL-1 Corvette. And that dealer is still running today. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif Kim/Ironhorse

The owner of Capital was Mr. Streetor, for the life of me I can't remember his first name. I think he has passed away but Gus Paulos is still with us. Do you remember F.G. Ferre and Sons Speed parts on State Street?

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif Hey be lucky. I worked for him in 1981-82, And all I ever knew him as was Mr. Streater. He sold the dealer in 1985-6. and it was later torn-down. And he died in 1986 at the age of 96. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif Boy could I tell some storys about him. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif Kim
