I don't want any heat from the guys for hijacking Jack's thread. I bought my car from a guy out of Maine and had it shipped to Texas. He did mention Jim Whalen's name. He did not know much about the history of the car. It did have a faint SS/L on the rear quarter windows when I got it. It still has a 1994 inspection sticker on it from Lebonan Valley.I sure would like to know more about it if you know anything. Pictures would be great, engine combos, etc. I run a 327/275, but starting to put pieces together for a 283/220 combo. Thanks ED
