I was just reading the info for the Lot(S36) on the WB car. It includes some documentation. Oddly to me is a handwritten log, that shows a quart of oil being added every couple hundred miles from the time it had only 350 some miles on it? Not a problem on the BB from the factory that I'm aware of, and certainly a huge concern!

...and today being Blackhawks’ Day featured Chicago’s legendary US Anthem singer to belt it out to open the show Friday. He was spectacular.

It was pretty nice. It was in Custom Rodder in 1983. Held up well.

Sold for $18k.

Really surprised that 71 LS5 sold for only 37k IF it really did sell.
