Re: Pictures of Zora Duntov Home

George , I went for a good ride with the top down.
And a fill-up on gas 13 gal @ $8 for 110 octane turbo blue $100 in gas , burned the complete tank in 90 miles , but it was worth it

How many of us bought Sunoco 260 ? Those were the
good old days when Sunoco was blue. It was the best gas money could buy. Heck it was 36 cents a gallon. ( before OPEC and FEDS screwed America) Save the Wave.>George

Re: Pictures of Zora Duntov Home

Aaaaaahhhhh, yes, the good old days and Sunoco 260.........38 cents a gallon in 1970!!! Burned it all the time in my '66 L79. Once in a while 250 when I felt cheap, but only rarely. I suppose 250 was adequate (after all the L79 was only 11 to 1, not 12.5 to 1), but I tried to treat it right.

Tom:

My dad and I kept a log of ethyl ("fill it with ethyl") prices for our '59:

1960: 36.9
1963: 37.9
1967: 38.9

I know some of that would have been Sunoco 260.

In 1972 I was a contract worker for the phone company servicing line trucks and vans. The main garage had an old curved top Gulf gas pump (40's vintage?, 50's vintage?) behind it that I used to top off the trucks before the morning shift. The pump said 25 cents.

Re: Pictures of Zora Duntov Home

Wasn't gas only 45 to 50 cents in the mid 70's after the Iran thing calmed down?

BTW - Zora's old house is still forsale...

I'm not sure but I remember gas at 79 cents in the 70's. However, this may have been during the embargo.

Re: Pictures of Zora Duntov Home

Just back from NCM. Here is another picture of Zora Duntov Home, with Zora and his 74 bigblock posed in front. Apparently painted by Elfi in 1992. There was lots of info on Zora's vette, but not one word about the portrait.

Re: Pictures of Zora Duntov Home

The total points have more like 900 to 1000 houses for sale, Zora's is only one of 5 nice houses on that street alone. The real problem lies with those that bought in the 2000 - 2005 time frame, they can't get out from underneath for half of what they paid.
