Thanks for following up on all the cool information on the cars in this thread.
Not to be a wet blanket, but I did want to mention, our cars are certainly cool and collectible, but what I see our cars lacking is racing history. That ZL-1 #65, went from showroom to track and made a name for itself. Our cars went from showroom to collectors garages. I'm hoping I'm wrong, so does anyone know where a GMMG car went to a team to compete? That's where I see the reasoning behind the current "Soft market" for our cars. I'm sure they'll increase in value as collector cars, but as storied race cars...???
Matt was happy to hear when I told him my car had almost 60000 miles on it. He said he was hoping to build a car that was going to be driven. He expressed he was hoping to emulate the Nickey's and Yenko's of the 60's by having his customers taking their cars and campaigning them at the track. Doesn't deem like a lot of that happened. (Feel free to move this to another thread is necessary)

A few photos from the archives......... I assume this is BY #2?
It's the only 'real' BY coupe I find in my photos.
@ Indy
Any idea when & where this photo was taken? Other Car #'s?

The Facebook idea sounds great. Would someone that knows what they are doing like to start something? I don't know FB very well. Thanks for the ideas. Jim
