That blow-up Mr. Chevyman needs a whoopy cushion sound Fx, with a hidden camera to record the reactions. See I'm thinking all grown up now , right ?

Best I could find for your new costume, Mr. Chevyman

Would a '62 "Bubble Top" 409 fit under the tree?

I think the tree would fit in the trunk just fine, but being that "lightweight" '62 Chevy 409's go for $150,000+, are Santa's pockets deep enough?

So, wouldn't that explain, why they weren't selling it, and it is parked over by the windows ?? It's perfect, looks like someone took the key out in 1963 and it's still waiting for them to come back and run that 1/4 mile. It's got a name,....lightweight, with 600hp does that seem right to you ??

Lets see if I've been paying attention, that would make it about 10% as rare as the BBC ? Or do you think we could find more than ten of them ??

Well let's see, the BBC is only 1 of 4 triple black '67 SS 427 convertibles built and the only one with an automatic, 3 known survivors.

There were 18 "Lightweight" '62 409's built with only 4 known survivors, I'd call it close a tie wouldn't you?

Would I give my eye teeth for a Lightweight 409 and throw in the SS too, in a heartbeat, if I wasn't honor bound to remain the '67's caretaker until I can no longer drive it...then it goes into the North Carolina Transportation Museum.

Wow, and I actually touched one, I didn't know I was in the presence of bowtie royalty. Guess i should have snapped a shot, Now I'm curious if it is one of them. Its' about 20 blocks from Griot's headquarters, I need to replenish my stock , after my Nephew was here. Does that sound like a good excuse to go to Griots ??

Sounds like a great excuse, take a camera, and do you have a bib so you won't drool on the paint?
