You must be talking about the Jan. issue. There is no such thing in the Dec issue. Nor do I see #51 listed on his site. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

Cool cowl-plenum setup on his Chevelle...was that a factory optino in '69? What a great looking car! Anyone have any more info on this car, like it's history, if it's original/restored, etc?

Rob, that sounds like Carl Dwiggins old Chevelle. He had added the cowl plenum years ago and that is the only Yenko Chevelle that I have ever seen with it. It was featured in the June 1988 Car Craft..............RatPack......................

Just because they are REGGIE cars is their value enhanced? IMO REGGIE is just a dealer, roller that has the funds to try to play the market. I don't really think he knows or gives a rip about these cars!!! I have tried to have casual conversations about these cars with him and found him to be a complete jerk!! All he wanted to know was what I thought they were worth. I honestly don't think of him as a "Car Guy" It might be a powerplay for him, who knows?? Jim [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/confused.gif[/img] I apologize for sounding so negative, but this aura about a "REGGIE" car just bugs me!!

I can't imagine how many tire-kickers and BS'ers he has encountered over the years. I personally had never seen a Reggie car in person, until Holub's new acquisitions. They are all very nice cars. Is it a business, or hobby? Both I would say, not just him, but most of us. I have heard he has in excess of 125 cars. Rumor has it he is selling off some cars due to a new business venture. I just acquired a fathom green, 42k unrestored Copo camaro that he owned for 7 years in the 80's. Heavily documented. Gentleman I purchased the car from has had it stored for 13 years. Is it worth more because it was his? Can't hurt, makes for good conversation. To me, because my business is in the sports industry, and my 4 boys play ball, it is neat. In fact, my 16 year old is going to learn to drive a stick in this very car! Hope the clutch is in good order! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Dave, are you inferring that I am either a "tire kicker" or "BS'r" or both?? [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/blush.gif[/img] (just kidding). I just found the man to be very uncordial. I asked him for nothing and was not interested in even talking baseball and we were actually at a shoeshine stand in Seattle. As LaDonna said "he was just plain rude!!" Don't want to start a "love/hate" thread about Mr October [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] Jim

So, was that cowl-plenum setup available from the factory on a Chevelle? Was it worth a darn performance-wise?
