We believe it`s the original mileage, based on being a drag car for so long.

You`ll have to look close.... we can see: 10 followed by 13427, followed by 1/20.

Dan,
I have a question was the 410 (kk) exclusive on the L78s or could it be ordered on its little brothers.(350/325 horse). My 300 deluxe hardtop has a 355 rear that prolly was available on any big block motored chevelle?

Thanks Mike

Glad to have it out of here, but I still have some pieces to that car like the disc brake rear, the front subframe, and the 301 Turbo motor with trans.
