Any info on Mancuso Chev that used to reside in Skokie Ill? I know back in the day they were into performance cars as well. They were heavy into 409's early on and had a 'black '63 Z-11 Chevy raced by Bures Hall, thanks.

They sold Deuces, have an old Deuce ad from them but that's about it.

If I had received this letter two months earlier I'd have a Cortez Silver Deuce in my garage today.

And these came in the same envelope.

Neet stuff Crumbly, I think you had shown it to me before. As others have said, I hope you are not looking for pity for ending up owning a measly Fred Gibb LS-6 instead. Whiner!

Besides, you would not have won nearly as many races as you did back in the 70's (sorry Marlin) and best of all, you and I likely would have never met that fateful day at Chevellabration several years ago when your (then wife) let me tear your car apart and document it without your knowledge which has turned out to be a very special and long term friendship. Think about that for a minute, buddy.........
