Re: 1958 Corvette SS Bill Mitchell Car on Ebay

We did a feature article on the black car in the July, 2007 issue of "Corvette Enthusiast" magazine.

I had a LONG conversation with the guy listing the auction about a month ago (he called me) and advised him how NOT to describe the car as a "long-lost experimental GM race car" when he re-listed it.

John, I still have the issue, as I do all of my magazines. That is how I got their email address and alot of great info from them. I am glad you guys did that article. It was very interesting. A year and a half ago---time flying too fast!

Thanks!

Steve

In reality probably the same guy bidding or maybe a friend of his trying to run up the price. Hopefully he "won" it himself.

Did anyone else besides me notice anything unusual about the cast date on the block? What's up with that?

Probably for the best - you'd still be upside down after you restored that thing.
