Looks cool! Not much info on the site. Original engine? Paperwork? L78 stamped Norwood trim tag or LOS car? Original panels?

Tracker1,
Mecum has still not uploaded all the info. It is a Norwood, L78 stamped car I bought out of Chicago. No paperwork although the NCRS paper is on order.
Car was fully restored when I got it, not sure which if any panels are original. Matching number engine and trans. Smog comes in the trunk.
This is an older restoration. Paint is shiny and looks good but you can see more than one color on the car if you look close. Underneath is clean.
This car is sorted to drive, I rebuilt the engine with a roller cam and roller tipped rockers for cam longevity. Still original compression and correct square port heads, pop-up pistons and steel crank. Correct carb, distributor, etc.

Seattle Sam

GaryS and bayfritz,
I wasn't certain that rule applied to cars going to auction. If you're interested in buying pre-auction, my price is $65,000.
Thanks,
Seattle Sam

This car belonged to Gary Dyer at one point of Dyer Blowers and Mr. Norm's race car fame. He restored it and rebuilt the drive train and showed it at local Chicago Car shows.

Looks Nice Sam, hope it does well at the auction! These cars have always been undervalued IMHO... you rarely ever see one! I've owned mine since 1991 and hadn't seen another one till 2005 when I traveled to the GM Nats in Carlisle.
