I do have another article that the car is featured in from MCR in which the writer says that the Goat was not in running condition and they had to push it around for the pictures.
Also, do you know if Milt actually stroked the original 428 in the late 80's? Just curious because thats what Milt says in his book.
Also, have you contacted Milt about the car or is that a very sore subject for him considering he figured Sherman would have notwithstanding his untimely death either given or at least sold the car to Milt for all he had done?
Thanks,
Don
BTW I saw the youtube video of you driving the Goat and boy it sounds & looks sweet! You can see the pride in Wangers as he walks near the car.

Yes, Don, we all got a little extra exercise that day!
I have a receipt that Mr. Sherman had kept from the initial install of the 428 circa 11/17/67 (signed by Milt). Per Paul Z., Milt and Bill went match racing in the late '80's. "'66GTO Jim" posted some cool pics of same. I have no reason to doubt the specs Milt shared in his book. Would make sense he built it up right around then, too.
I did attempt to contact Milt around the time the car came to me in '05. His son replied echoing your report. Though was fortunately able to meet Milt briefly in Dayton at the Co-Vention.
Thanks! That clip is from the Art Center. All credit for the look and racket due the feller strolling along side for bringing it to us in the first place, and Scott Tiemann for returning it to the way he recalled it in the beginning!
