When Tom was in Russia buying a car. The Vette went to Lopers and had a 4:56 gear installed. Sure did wake it up. Id say Penske and Barrett knew what the real number produced was.

It is possable the Black ZR-1 you mention is one of the 2 or 3 (one does not have documentation) that I mentioned. Im trying to remember but one of the ones here in Fla. was repainted black back when the original color didnt matter to collectors. I dont remember which one it was but because of the collector car market the paint was changed back to the original color when it was restored. I could call and find out when I can get to it. The 2 guys I know with them are great guys to talk to.

We would be BSing and telling each other "lies" all day.........LOL Nothing would ever get done! Im checking out 3 lots tommorow morning. One is 4 1/2 acres, one is 5.6 acres and the 3rd is 8 acres. 2 have water and elec. already run in. Cant wait to get started. There isnt much of anything right in Indian Town. I was thinking you wanted to be close to Palm Beach Raceway? I didnt know you had a Harley ! I thought you only rode Oldsmobiles.

Not to mention those damn "Love Bugs"

Black 04 American Ironhorse Texas Chopper . Had this one about 8 or 9 years. Had em all my life till last wife. Now she's gone and the hog is back, along with all my junk.-------:-) A cooler full of beer 50-60's on the radio a couple local well preserved divorces' cooking some steaks on the grill and we wouldn't care if we got anything done. ..... Would be curious to know what those places are going for though.

I don't know what you are talking about when you say ZR - 1. I know that the 69 Vette Barrett bought from Penske was a ZL-1 and virtually a new car.

That was a "mis- type" on my part. I meant to type ZL-1. All Alum engined Corvette in 1969.

Heh Heh Sounds good. My "Nasty Nurse" would love that. Let you know how much when I get back and what they are like. Have to be careful not to buy swamp land.
