Sully, it's funny how back then guys would take off the SS badging or engine displacement markings to make it a true Granny Sleeper.... Nowadays I guess we are all into "hey it's a true SS396 big block man and it's cool!" http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

I talk to the original owner of my car everyday. Yeah, I'm getting a little senile!! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif Seriously Rob, that is very cool to reconnect with owners/history on your car. I, too, wish I had some of the stuff I took off my car "back in the day".
