Hello
well lets try this again several years ago,I was wondering if anyone from this site could help me out in tracking down the original LS-6,M-22 and rearend from my chevelle or at least find out if it no longer exists,I know this is a REAL LONG SHOT, however I have been in contact with the original owner who stated to me that he street raced this car on fri and sat nites in the McConnelsville area of Ohio for a few years before he was talked into replacing it with a 396 by a mechanic from Crooksville.Now apparently this car was well known, because the owner used to drive it around in that area with drag slicks( this is how I actually located the owner)The car is cranberry red and was sold new at Bill Janes Chev in McConnelsville to a Terry Johnson with the license plates TJS 454. He traded it in for a new corvette at Point Break Chev around 1972, seen it around the area for about 3 more years before it dissapeared. Which makes sense because when i got the car with Calif blue plates, it had a stack of reg stickers that started with 1975 as the first year it was registered in Calif. Any HELP would be much appreciated,would really like to see if I could find plate frames (even one) or dealer decals Thanks in advance Geoff.
