Hello folks,

Last week I was able to buy this BE rear end for my car. Still has the original heat treated ring and pinion and the correct circle hole spring plates and 16 tooth side gears. The rear end had been in a local race car for the last 30+ years in Lexington, KY. I would like to thank fellow SYC members Van Hurst for the lead and Mike Angelo for the detailed pictures on how to tell the differences between a regular 12 bolt and a COPO. The spring perches will need to be cut off and put back in the factory location but other than that.. it just needs a good cleaning. It's a little late for an 05A car but it's close enough for an old driver! And no.. I will not be drag racing with this rear seeing I've been known to tear up 12 bolts..lol..

Just booked our flight for MCACN! Looking forward to seeing everyone in a few weeks!

This car was sold new from Queen City Chevrolet in Cincinnati. Funny thing is I have driven by their old lot on my way to work for 18 years and didn't even know it. Please check out the "427" markings that were found under the front fenders! The car came from Dick Weinle's personal collection. Dick has owned Edgewater Sports Park since 1979 and held an NHRA record.

The car was definitely raced and has a few battle scars. If anyone remembers this car from it's race days, please let me know.

X44
05A Car
19,000 on the clock
Original sheet metal minus the hood an inner fenders
Original glass
Original drive train gone
Car does have a correct 512 427 block
Brodix heads







Fortunately I've seen that that exact hand written grease pencil 427 a few times myself, same guy did them all!
