I am not familiar with the sour grapes car but I would say it is not the car. This car has been painted before but the door jambs and underside of the deck lid still retains its original paint and no sign of ever being another color. My car is known car in the hobby as a real factory 427. I left you a return message in your mailbox along with my phone number please call me at your leasure and we can go into the detail of what makes this car a for sure real deal.

I posted the pic of the "Sour Grapes" car because the vintage pic you posted is the SG car although it looks green in your picture. Here is the same pic where the car looks blue or teal.

I saw your car at the NIA convention in Iowa a few years ago when Scott had it there and it is stunning. Good luck with the sale, someone is going to get a very nice car.

Thanks Chad, I guess I misunderstood Sam when I bought the car I thought the picture he gave me was of my car. Your picture is more clear than the copy I have so much so that I can see the standard steel wheels in the front and there is no way those fit over the big 68 disc brakes so that also rules it out from being my car.

I am glad that this got cleared up as I was also wondering if the pictures were of Mick's car based on the apparent color difference. I remember the "Sour Grapes" car from Minnesota Dragways back in the day.

Beautiful car Mick and I hope it goes to a good home.

I have a correction to make regarding the block casting. I stated in the opening ad it was a 321 but I checked again tonight for someone and it is actually a 439 casting. Both can be correct depending if it is a late or early car this car is an 07D so the 439 is correct for this car.

I'm very excited to say that I bought this car last week from the guy that Mick sold it to last year. I am interested in tracking down any documentation or original engine block and transmission if possible. Any help from all of you is much appreciated.

The VIN number is 154118J315545 if anyone has good leads. Thanks!

Wow and BIG car Congrats!
If this is the car delivered new @ Polar Chevrolet in White Bear Lake, it may be worth checking in w/ CRG member CVKUEBER as he works/worked there.
Also, Jim Hodges from White Bear lake used to drag race a '67 Camaro sponsored by Polar Chevy...no idea if still around but may remember it if he is?

Do you have an email or phone number for CVKUEBER as I am not a member at CRG.

Also, any contact info for Jim Hodges?

I am trying to determine if this car was sold at Polar Chev or if that's only the Sour Grapes car that was sold there? Past owners seem to believe this car came from Polar Chev. Thank you

The CRG profile has no contact info but try adding @msn.com to his user name as this was an email address he's used in the past.
No help w/ Jim Hodges other than a few shots below of his Polar Chevrolet sponsored cars.
Someone @ Polar Chev was into serious performance as here's a link to a '68 L88 Coupe they delivered also check out the old newspaper ad for a '68 Chevelle...w/ dealer installed L72!

Polar delivered '68 L88...
