Re: 1956 original battery!

Thanks for the great pic. Joe! It reminds me of when I was looking for a car in '65 and a fellow told me about this old farmer who had bought a white '56 2 door post new, factory 3 speed and dual fours. I checked the car out and it was! He was the original owner, had original paperwork, and pictures when new. We talked and I passed on the $600.00 price as it was a little high.

Yeah Mike, even $6000! Then there was the '57 250 HP FI, 4 speed Corvette in '71 for $2,500, the Riverside red/black, 36 1/2 gal, Z-06, PW, 2 bars in '85 for $16,000, et. al.--- 'Not too bright, huh?

There are many Chevy parts and cars that make a Corvette look like a good price

Steve B, How about all the 67,68,69 Camero's with the blown motors left at the dragstrip Monday morning? I would call them from the number on tech card and tell them to get them out and they would say give me a $100 and keep it. I would say "no way". Dale

Dale, I guess we thought they would always be disposable, of no value and no one would want them. 'So much for my foresight.

Michael, I don't know who bought the car. It was for sale in Danville, IN, near Indianapolis. It was late winter when I looked it over. I was impressed because it had no radio and power windows, a configuration I like.

That sounds like the same car. I looked at the car in San Francisco in about 1978 when Parker had it for sale. I didn't buy it but I heard it eventually sold and went east.

I think Jack wanted $5500 or $6500 at that time. It wasn't worth that much and it wasn't real. I still have pic's and the VIN somewhere around here.

The car was missing the Z-06 master cylinder when I saw it.
