Thanks for the info, Rick! While the L88 always got the rep as being the Corvette bad boy (except for the ZL1), I've always felt that while the 435hp engine while lacking a bit on cam lift (~.040"), made up for it on the induction side with the 3x2 carbs...and NHRA must agree to some point, to hang it with a 495 rating? But then again, what do I know!

On the subject of SS/AH cars, around 2 years ago a local feller here brought me a couple of polaroids of an original '68 Hemi 'Cuda in a guy's garage...I'd heard of the car for years (story was guy was a logger/sawmiller, bought the car originally, had it ever since, was known to be involved in shady deals) but never knew if it was real unti the guy showed up with pictures...I checked 'em out, got some info on the car (VIN was a good one), and was trying to figure out how to scrape up the 50-large + finders fee for it...but I drug my feet, I saw the thing on Ebay but don't think it got over like $30k and didn't meet reserve...the car was in western Kentucky...was wearing a red/white/blue paint scheme...anyone know if someone snatched it up, or do I need to take a drive?
