I heard his heart just wasn't in it anymore. I don't think it was financially motivated, other than the fact that right now is a great time (financially) to blow out a bunch of outstanding musclecars.

A local friend of mine has a 61 409 with the passenger side door lock deleted. It has a false cover without a slot or tumblers. Its a strange item. Was told it was a lightweight race part. But what would be the real savings? I have seen it in person...BKH

Besides a slight weight loss onlyother reason I can think of is one less small peice flying around if you crashed.

Thanks Charley,
I know a guy that has a few of his cars in his collection now. He has ZL-1 #66, The LS-6 El Camino, and the Chrysler 300, among others. All these cars are EXTREMELY fine examples.
Bill

You mean Tommy Lee Austin. He claims to have a bunch of cars. He told me he had 6 Yenkos including a 68 Yenko Chevelle. And he said his brother has a 71 LS6 Chevelle with all the paperwork. He seems to own all the cars that I thought were Myths. Apparently he owned the ElCamino before McGroder did. When he bought it from McGroder it had no paperwork but he apparently had all the paperwork from the first time he owned it. Very friendly guy but that is just too many Mythical cars. The GS Stage 1 convert. he sold was a stunning car. I've been wrong before though.
