CowlTag? How about my SS # too?

[ss427copo]

Some of you guyz crack me up on the authenticity and cowl tag demands you make on member cars. Now...don't get me wrong, some of you have great cars, and some of you are dreamers. The louder cry babys have the best dreams I guess. No problem.....But the fact of the matter is this; as many an article on the 427 Camaro that has been written claiming this and that and that this nut was this way, and that mark was that way..YOU WEREN'T THERE; nor was I. Some articles say we'll never know what rolled out the the plant back then because copious records don't exist. PERIOD.I can tell you that at a Chevy/VettVest show in Philly 10 or so years ago, this "clipboard" guy was hounding all day Saturday for me me to uncover my cowl tag too. He was claiming that because there was no Harrison 4-row" it couldn't be a factory 427. Now, I'm no little guy; and to be honest with you, he was pissing me off with his cavalier, no-it-all attitude. This is all going on while a friend of mine has his Green Yenko parked next to me (he's a member of this board and you can see gorgeous "cover car" in the attach. So, Keith says, "tell him to put up or shut up" I tell the guy if he want to see the tag to doucument his findings, put $250. bucks on the hood. He did "have it on him". So I say, WTF. He looks under the peice of paper over the tag....and kinda got real quite. I thought maybe he passed out or something. Without a muttering a word, he turns and then says "you're right, nice car" . He never bothered me again at any show. His name was Frank Cromeo as I remember; some Camaro expert who was writing a book. (i never read it!) So, as for a photo of the tag...I got another deal for you "doubting Thomas'" Who ever wants to see it, when you post your social security # along with your American Express card and drivers license, I'm ready to to live up to my end of the bargain! Check the next phot too...It's the picture with Keith's Yenko and my 427.
