I had a 69 Pace Car up in Rantoul, Il -- it came out of Wisconsin. Body was pretty bad and engine was even worse. Put quarters and rear panel on it -- replaced the 350 with a 396 I had under the bench. Painted it with acrylic enamel, installed a new top and had the lettering painted on the doors by a local sign painter. Sold it to a lawyer in Urbana -- I think his kid was driving it. Lost track of it later. TAZ [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

I had one that's not on that list, in the early 80,s dave tinnell restored a ZL1 for carl dwiggens and the sub frame wasn't exceptable for dave to use. carl sent dave a garnet l78 x66 that had rusty floors and trunk was weak. dave pulled the eng and trans out and sent it back to carl and changed out the sub frames . I ended up with the roller. it had the correct fuel line but I never saw the engine and trans. I sold it to a friend whom still owns it. been trying to buy it back for years.

With a repro trim tag and questionable paperwork I wouldn't put this one on the list.

Some one did a lot of work on this one , but didnt do there homework. Trim tag says Ivory hounds tooth but the only convertibles that had houndstooth was the pace car.
