There were quite a few of these thru the years.
This is Dave and Grumpy with an earlier car. I was in Grumpy's shop many times. |

Very interesting piece of history. Mecum's description is worth the read: https://www.mecum.com/lots/FL0117-2697 ... pala-z11-old-reliable-iv/ The estimate is $750,000 to $850,000. I'll be surprised if it sells at around that price, if only because race car prices always seem soft—even for the best examples. |

I'm not going to Kissimmee. I'd get in trouble there for sure. Nice Impala. Besides I only have $750. We had a 63 283 by the way, back in the 80's.

rarity and provenance... remember, this was a FACTORY built hot rod. Not a normal race car converted from a street car. Real race cars are valuable... think Cobra, Ferrari, Porsche... those sports racers are seriously valuable. |

Yep. Guess I should have bought one of those from Dave, probably about $1,000 back then. But, I also should have bought this when it was offered to me for $1,800. |
