Re: Re-stamping pads

I have been very upfront about the car that I campaigned and received a Duntov and BG award. I had an irrefutable tank sticker, dropped the tank in front of David Burrows. I never represented the car to have the original engine, fiberglass, or frame, but it was a real hp car. It was up to the judges to determine if it was correct or not. Probably would not pass muster today for those awards but 30+ years ago it passed.

Car had a very rough but enjoyable life before I got it. Plowing cornfields at over 100 mph, getting clocked on radar at 156 mph, being painted with the stars and bars paint scheme. Several of the previous owners did what the cars were built for, run the hades out of them.

I know that some that have posted in this thread have heard me tell about the history of the car. It was at Mecum's auction last weekend and did not sell.

The car has bounced around the country since I sold it (I was the fifth owner), MA, WA, CA, IN, back to CA, FL and who knows where the owner today is.

Terry-- Wow!-I thought I am old!-I am 72, and I started in 1967,Because I liked the cars; but even then there were a lot of people who were in it just for the $
By the way- Your 69 L89-Silv/Silv Lea. Pipe car sounds like a drunkard's dream!!
I ordered a 69 new (still have it) (Sil/Blk 350 HP TI PS Pipes)
If I had chance to do it again, I would certainly have ordered a car like yours, (or maybe an L88?)
When someone "builds" a car into something that it never was, is sad ,in my opinion, because that de-values the car that is still the way it was built

Gentleman in Chicago was stamping pads before the '80's using characters bought from the OEM supplier to GM

To me, these "well-seasoned" cars are every bit as interesting as somebody's trailer queen or a true "survivor"....

The gentleman I got my stamps from bought his from the Geo. T. Schmidt Company and selected the different variations that showed up over the years. Only cars I ever stamped were 250 hp engines and one Chevelle. I sold my stamps probably 30 years ago to another member here. There is another member of the forum that is the best there is to restamp a block. I have referred several people to him over the years.
