I am almost certain that my 1969 Mako is a John Silva Creation, However I would like to be sure. Is there anyone that can help with Identifying this with ##s also where can I find out the complete build sheet data for this car, Engine opt, trans, gears, Colors, etc. The car currently has no drivetrain in it and I was told it was a Big block origionally. Please Help, Thanks, Anthony

And this picture. They don't make em like that anymore

When you say "They don't make 'em like that anymore", did you mean the car, or what was behind it?  You could poke your eye out with the nose of the Shark OR "those two things behind the car".  ALL very impressive. 

  I was thinking the same thing as chesh......high beam city!

Corvettes need high beams, but I don't think those came with the car as standard equipment.  Although the single guys may have a better chance if they have a Corvette.

I think we have gotten off the true subject here.

Can anyone help our new member simfab with his original question? Anybody know John Silva?
A build sheet will be next to impossible.
You might be able to trace back using the VIN.
Start with your state DMV.
Are you doing a frame off restoration?
Have you looked in the usual places for a build sheet?
Have you searched other sites?

Does anyone else have any ideas?

 In my original mail I sent a link to a MakoII web site which included a lot of info and a forum. I belive this would be a good place to start the research.

I am doing a frame  off  resturation.

I need more places to search for build sheets, I have checked the vin#. I have explored other sites.
