Thanks Bob, Now I dont have to wonder about it anymore. I guess these were stashed under the back seat as were the later models? Thanks again...

Ronnie,

I've been told the they were behind the seat, behind the door panels etc, also up under the dash behind the speedometer. I just never found one. I restored a 66 396 Chevelle a few years ago and the build sheet was on top of the gas tank.

I pulled one out of a 64 SS 327/300...different than the broadcast posted from the 63...any of you east coast guys seen a 64 Satin silver /Black vinyl 4 spd running around with a stroked 409 anywhere? When I sold it 5-6 years ago I heard it went out east somewhere...

61SS Badges

For those who have not seen the trunk and quarter panel emblems for a 61 SS, I dug these out of my junk pile and will try to get some decent pics posted. I took these off a Jewel Blue and White 61 that had been T-boned in Sacramento when I lived there in about 83. I could have bought the whole car but I thought it was too far gone to fix. No engine or trans but it did have 348 or 409 exhaust manifolds still in the engine compartment. The guy also had a 63 340hp wagon I could have bought for $1500.:doh At least I got the emblems.

You might try doing a search for "completed" items on ebay to find that car. Not sure how long they are kept but worth a shot.

I seen a silver with a black top on a trailer headed east a couple weeks ago and it looked like the same car I had seen parked along side a highway for sale some weeks earlier. However this car I believe had a black painted top. I thought to myself somebody bought that one. Guess I should keep notes as to where I see stuff like this. I see a lot of interesting cars in my travels. Sorry I couldn't be more help.:doh
