Title: From the files of “They NEVER built it”.
Post by: David K on April 25, 2022, 09:18:42 PM: I’ve seen it, worked on it, given advice on how to preserve it, pushed him to show it in public for people to see it. His name is Lee and back in the 50’ thru the 70’s, his father in law was a big wig at Chevrolet in Engineering. Lee and his wife got her father’s demo. Back window is original, the grill and gas cap emblem were restamped, it’s got some “experimental parts on it”.

Post by: firstgenaddict on April 26, 2022, 01:16:41 PM: If not mistaken the one on the 68 RS/SS pictured with the custom 68 C10 from the hotrod article and NY autoshow was custom lettered.

I think the letters are from the CHEVELLE letters on a mid 60's Chevelle.
I first though they were Corvette letters from the tail of a C3. however the base of the corvette letters stand out from the body further because of the curve in the rear tail panel.
