love it love it love it! put a screaming zl1 or l88 and take to cruise nights.

----This Vette may be titled as a 65 but I'm betting it isn't, although it has so many other year parts I cant pin down the actual year. I do realize that its a race car. just pointing out a potential problem......Bill S

[EZ Nova]

Do you guys REALLY think that price is right? I know some of the old race cars are bringing some good money, but I myself have never heard of Paul???

I'm actually in the market for something like this, preferably a 1969, and I've seen very nice, current cars sell for well less COMPLETE.

Just don't know about this one!

EZ, you never heard of Paul Blevins? You must be a young guy. Fastest Chevy racer next to Grump in the early Pro Stock years. Had the fastest G/MP 55 nomad on the planet. Made the 288 inch motor a household name to any Modified Eliminator racer in NHRA. Blevins, Moroso, Truppi, Jesel, Iaconio, Bernie Agaman, Bob Johnson and a few others terrorized the Modified Eliminator ranks for years in Div-1 and all over the Country.

All true plus $60-thou Canadian is only $46,500 US @ today's 1.29 exchange rate.
If anyone here is serious, note the seller's cell # listed w/ his other auction for the Daimler Ferret.

I was looking @ that exchange rate too Pete.

[EZ Nova]

SC, Not sure I would say &quot;young&quot; as I'm 50 now!! LOL And being in Canada it's still 60K rolling to me.

Sure does look nice, and maybe I'm off a bit. I would say it's a 25-30K car US. But that's just my 2 cents, and that's CANADIAN 2 cents , which is basically nothing. Haha

[Salvatore]

still a pup EZ. Too young to know anything about the Modified Eliminator days of drag racing. Best days ever!
That was a killer corvette in its day. I would say $45,000 in US money is pretty close.

[Starship]

Thats a great car. Paul won the US Nationals in that car in 1972. He later sold it to Dick Moroso so it's got some pretty good history. I wouldn't mind having it in my garage.

[Salvatore]

Somebody has his 55 Nomad. Maybe they will snatch the vette up.

And back in those days there was no electronic crap in the cockpit (maybe a line-lock) -- it was all driver and car ... TAZ <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif

DAMN, good to know, I'm a PUP at 50! Just when I've been going through mid-life crisis thinking I'm getting old LOL.

It does seem like a nice car,

[55nomad]

Kinda stumbled upon this conversation by mistake so I'll add my 2cents . I was lucky to watch both of Pauls cars back in the day at Englishtown &amp; Sanair. I would like to own that Vette to park it in my garage next to his nomad that I am now the caretaker of. That is a steal for the history it has,don't get any better than world champion. I'd hate to tell you what I think the nomad is worth !

[mockingbird812]

Hey congrats and thanks for checking in. So it sounds like you'll be going after the Vette. Good luck.

Any pix of the Nomad you could share?! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

[bbbenny]

Is Pauls 65 vette, still for sale? Thanks BBBenny

[DW31S]

I'm really kinda surprised nobody mentioned Joe Scotto, who was partnered with Paul Blevins on both the 'Vette and the'55. Also, Bill Izykowski, who actually drove the 'Vette for a while. If you look over the door on the 'Vette, you'll see Bill's name listed as driver. I'm pretty good friends with Joe and Bill and we have &quot;bench raced&quot; quite a bit about both cars. A TON of history in both of those race cars.

[55nomad]

Both names also appear over the doors on the nomad,When I had it relettered I didn't have them put on,as of yet, Izzy busted my chops about it not being there ! Both Joe &amp; Bill are great guys, On the other hand Paul could be a bit moody at times. Don't know if the vette is sold yet, It needs to be lettered,and have a period correct engine in it.

Had a pretty good conversation yesterday with Joe Scotto about their old Corvette. Shared lots of detailed &amp; interesting facts,&amp; memories of the building &amp; racing history of the car, Made his day for sure to talk about it
