All:  For those of you who care, the June Muscle Car Review has two article of interest, but only if you are a car person vs a Corvair person, related to two people with Corvairs in the resumes.  One article is about Don Yenko's effort to market '67 Camaro's as a SCCA A-sedan/Trans-Am turn key race cars.  Only two cars were done so far as anyone knows, both lost to history.   

The other is about the barn find of Bill Thomas's "Super Cheetah."  This car, intended to be powered by a 427 cid Chevy was never completed and thought to be lost in the fire which essentially shut Thomas down some years after GM pulled the backdoor funding.  Interesting historical cross reference with the Late Carroll Shelby's Cobra Daytona Super Coupe, which was also never completed back in the day.   

Historically Yours,
			James Rice
