Re: Brigance Chevy/Mr Ed 1969 Chevelle 427 Convert.
Frank, think about what Pritchard said about the Nova he bought coming from there and the 427 disguised as an L-78. there is no way to tell an L78 from an L72 in a pic or even up close for that matter, maybe Mr. C did get what he ORDERED. maybe Mr. Ed knew the art of deception was imporatant to his customer base??? a conversion is just that not necessary an advertised swap as Motion and others did. just a thought.
I lived and (god forbid) streetraced in Pottstown, Pa. for many years in the 80's . there is still a chevy dealer there called Dames, all the guys I hung with were true motorheads and 75% Chevy. One slightly older guy said he was with his buddy when he ordered a new Chevelle 427 and he helped his buddy roll his new ,1967 427 Chevelle conversion off the carrier when it came in. Wonder if ?? and what dealer may have done that for them. DAVE
