I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Truppi-Kling-Allen/Briggs Chevrolet 1970 SS454 convertible!

Right on Marty. I believe a couple of years ago that car sold at Barret Jackson for 1.2 Million. Ray lived in Randolph NJ back when I lived in Jersey, only a few miles away from Billy and I both.

My vote would be Sid Sweenes` `69 ZL-1 Camaro from Colorado. Not sure if it ever hit the streets. I saw the car before it ever hit the track when my dad was opening up the wheel wells for the slicks in our garage. As much as I can remember,the car always ran with the aluminum block in it as well. Even Reggie Jackson had an interest in the car but Sid wouldn`t sell.

I have 3 that hit pretty close to home:
1. "The Hemi Countdown" -- '65 A990 Belvedere purchased new by Harry Holton ("Grandpa") and currently owned by SS/AH racer Mark Vieira. To my knowledge, this car has been bought/sold about 7x now and still has yet to leave Stanislaus County (California)! 2. Our current '65 Belvedere. Formerly owned by Robin Pellesier and Barton-powered. Have owned since '96. First A990 in the 8's in legal SS trim. 3. Don Little's yellow Barracuda. World Champ in '99. Top 10 multiple years running. Numerous wins and records. About to begin a new life back in its original plum-crazy with a 440-6 and street trim. The car has been completely restored. Original 6-pack car to boot!

Dave, I realize now why I didn't notice it. I actually scanned all the posts before I made mine, but I was looking for Truppi-Kling - not Briggs Chevrolet.
