My buddy got this for me at an auction at Mid America Corvette in Effingham IL . They are going out of business . This is a piece of cardboard that was part of a display . It measures about 18 inches tall by 4 foot wide . I thought it was kind of interesting . Does anyone know anything about this ?

John did You read My post? I wonder who bought that engine? Maybe the Yagers still own it. I was 17 years old at the 1964 Worlds Fair. G.M. had an awesome display. NICK L72

Mid-America has been around since the mid-70s. Maybe they are winding down because the founders have reached the twilight years. Sad to see a well-established & reputable supplier go. Maybe they are willing to sell but aren't getting attractive offers. Who knows?

Oh My God! I saw that engine at the New York Worlds Fair. Thought it was going to be a truck engine like the Big Block 348 and 409. No idea that I would purchase one in 1968. Remember Staring at it for a while. I liked 327 small blocks at the time, still do. NICK L72
