I'm looking for any Briggs Chevrolet info I can find.Dealership photos, Dealer emblems, High Performance Parts Catalogs, This dealership catered to the Hgh Performance customer back in the Musclecar days. As you know one of the most famous cars to come out of Briggs was the 1970 Super Stock World Champion LS6 convertible tuned and prepared by Truppi-Kling Competition and driven by Ray Allen. Any info you have is appreciated. Thanks, Kevin

Joe, I did see that while searching the net.That was some kind of cross country race back around the mid 70's. They had several 55 gallon drums of gas in that van so they could drive straight through to the west coast. They had to stop in AZ and get more gas anyway. How crazy and un-safe was that riding around wih all that gas in a chevy van?

Great pic Jeff! What magazine is it from? Looks like the final round at Ontario Motor Speedway, Supernationals in Nov 1970. (Ontario California) Thanks, Kevin

I thought I would be incognito and stealthy with my ebay Id, but now you know. All I hear on the Briggs LS6 1/18 release is Late Fall or October (which I doubt will happen). MIC has not given a release date yet. Rest assured I will be placing my order soon!.......Kevin
