    C2 BB hoods...again!

    First, this is absolutely, positively not intended to generate another 200+ thread discussion on SB's having BB hoods.

    I only want to say FYI that at a small cruise at the ice cream stand last night, there was a guy who professed profusely about SB's being given BB hoods toward the end of production in mid-'67. He was so animated and chock full of "supporting facts", I thought the guy might have himself been in the St. Louie plant.

    Like Sgt. Schultz used to say in Hogan's Hero's..."I know nuthin'...I say nuthin'."

    His relatives are the ones who look at your car at a show and say, "My uncle Frank had one just like yours, but it was one of the special ones with the long wheelbase and the steel body".

      Yeah well I've got the next car after Roy Braatz's car. Roys old 67 L-79 was Vin 12345. Mine is Vin. 12346. Same car, Lyndale Blue on Black, Pipes, AS2, M-21, 3:70 Posi, Rallys, U69, and oh yeah 427 BB hood. Produced March 1. (H01) Has Org. Factory Laquer paint. No repaint. Roys was doced in Nolands book. But people WILL take exception. No way I'm changing this hood. SO...who knows. Just nice driver.

                      Jay,

                      You are in a unique position to help this group out tremendously. This thing has been out there forever with no documentation. You may have the evidence to prove or disprove the myth. Please step up and allow us to look at the details. Lets start with pictures. Lots of them , the underside of the hood, the hood support mount areas both sides top and bottom, the trim tag, etc. With all of the discussion over the years of Roys car, how is it that this one has never surfaced before?

                          I agree, BUT I'm gonna go SLOW. I plan on having it judged in the Fall or Spring of 08. Bought from a woman who owned it 23 yrs. I did speak with Roy #182 on this before I posted ANY pics. I did own a 64 Vette Coupe (Rosenberger Styling car.) But was told I was full of it. Sold it cheap, now the car surfaces yrs later as the genuine article. (A 4 seater car) I also owned a 58 Dual quad car at 17yrs old. (In 1969) Now the car is a Duntov car in Conn. But a 230hp car. So little skeptical on judging. So bear with me as I proceed slowley. This is a cool ride. All nos date codes match. Except radiator, water pump, Aug 73 3810 Svs replacement carb.

                            My pleasure! The subject has fascinated me for some time. I have an obvious interest in the 1967 model year. Photo is from a show last Sunday.

                            If Jay takes additional pics I would be happy to post those as well.
