    Summer 2011 RESTORER, what a paradox!

    Well, well, well,
    On the rear cover we have two of maybe six ST LOUIS FACTORY ASSEMBLY LINE BUILT SR1s, which for many years, NCRS ABSOLUTELY refused to acknowledge because they were "not" true factory built cars. Thus, John's and Larry's SR1s never received the true recognition they deserved as part of the Corvette's early performance development. But finally (and I suspect grudgingly by some nay sayers), they have been accepted into the fold of "legitimate, correct, factory built cars" (anyone remember the days of nay sayers and the Airbox cars?).
    Then, on the other hand (which NCRS has always been opposed to) the installation of an engine type (LS1) into a (69) Corvette that was never built with that type of engine.
    It's a real shame that the puritanical NCRS organization has finally begun to recognize and accept that there are Corvettes in this world besides exact examples of what rolled out the back door of St. Louis.
    Thanks for finally getting off your high horses and smelling the roses!

        When did the latest Restorer hit the mail? I got a driveline a month or so back that came in solo (I thought they were being sent together) and was wondering if it was a mailing mistake.............. still haven't seen the Restorer.

          Norris...last Driveline was solo...just the Driveline...this issue is mailed together...that happens four times a year...January, March, July and September...the other two times the Driveline is mailed...(May and November) it comes alone...and to finally answer your question...it went in the mail around the 15th of the month...hopefully you'll be getting both in the package...

            Do you want to do an article on my buddy's 1960? Won't do well in flight judging but according to the general public at all the shows, it's waaaaay better than a stock one.

              Back to the 60s!

              Does he run it anymore? Our local track wouldn't let him run (without a rollbar) under 14.00 as a convert, or under 12.00 even if he bolted on a hardtop.

              If I'd had lots more money and time back then, my '59 might look just like that (without silver coves).

                      The car was just finished this spring. It was purposely built as a retro gasser. He bought a bare frame and body to build it so no TF car was ruined in the making of this one. Nothing sounds better than a 700+ HP blown big block with "Purple Horny" mufflers (anyone remember those?).
