Couple questions.
Why did you advise him NOT to buy it?
Why did you immediately pull the motor?
Are you still in the Toronto area?
Somebody owns this car and so I do not wish to be negative

Classy answer, I respect that. What a story, it truly is amazing the knowledge and history amongst us.

Oh, and further, I spoke at length with Ronnie Locke, long time high perf salesman at Bob McDonald Chev in Halifax and they never got a B-M Vette. They did however get a BB Camaro from Nickey that Ronnie raced.
Would this be the BB Camaro that Bob McDonald Chev got from Nickey?

No, that was a brand new 396-325 4-spd RS that McDonald loaned to Gil to race. Bob also loaned Gil a brand new blk/red 67 Corvette 435 and one night at the Irving station they swapped the motors. The 435 motor eventually found its way back to the Corvette many years after. Crazy times.

Reading this thread reinforces the view about the incredible knowledge base of muscle car history the members of this site have in their memory banks. It continues to amaze me.
