Default Duntov saves the new little Chevy

I'm sure some of you've seen this and know it well.. others will enjoy it as much as I did when I came across it recently and read how our favority vehicle was saved by this gentleman.

Here's a link to the story and original GM memo sent by Mr. Arkus-Duntov.

Haven't seen the article. thanks for sharring. I'll check it out.
Duntov was a guru in the '60s, with the "Duntov 30-30", it was BAD A$$ back then.

Good Lord... the hair on the back of my neck stood up readin' that lil' bit of ever so important history... can you imagine what life would be like if he wasn't successful in convincin' the suits at GM to keep rollin' with the project??... *shudders* I cannot even fathom....

*tips hat to Mr. Arkus-Duntov* You sir, are an unequalled visionary.
