Hey Larry, I see you were able to sneak one past our guys in and around Chi-town. They must be losing their touch. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

Larry is secretive about the location where he got the car and I don't blame him. The Dealer was in Indiana. Larry was at my house on Wed night. He snuck back Thurs afternoon to the dealership to show me the car and it is cool. Needs some TLC but he will fix er up im sure. Cool thing was there was still the original orange overspray on the intake manifold from 1969! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

Glad to meet you and your Friend Larry! I hope to see you at the Reunion in Sept! Mr. Clary you need to work on him to bring that Motion Vette for us to see! I think I laid the ground work but I need some help! I told him not to fix her up at all just show us the car in it's original state. I for one see to many restored cars. It would be neat to see a supercar in it's raw original form. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

*Were you able to get the entire Smog System that came with this engine originaly?

You are right on the color I havn't learned them yet. Remember I am more a Vette guy.

I am still punchy from the fast trip with a 15 gal gas tank Pickup. (ugh) Man I think we must have stopped at every other gas station on the way back to OKLA.

I doubt that I will be back up in the Chicago area for a while. I have way too much work to get started on with these cars.

I plan to build on a "Charlie Lillard" size building on the back of my home to house my collection. It makes me nervious to have this many valuable cars and not be where they are stored. Not to mention that I can't work on them neary as offten as I want to when they are across town.

Ed - 55 chev is comming over today and I will be doing a inventory of just what I have and don't have. I know the gas tank is gone. I got a extra trunk and new in the box bumper with it. I know the carb is not the correct one. Clutch and flywheel were not there either. There are 4 wheels so the spare is missing. The grill is not perfect and for some reason the headlight bezzels are not the same. One is chrome and the other is painted? Go figgure.

I do have the original motor, 4 speed with shifter, and they all have the proper S/N and part numbers still on them. I was realy lucky to have found the Broadcast sheet for this car that shows the L-78. It was a 3:36 posi rearend.

I will post some more pic of it for the enjoyment of those that are interested.
