<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: livettes</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Bob has been nice enough to invite me to display this car in his Barnfind Showcase at MCACN! I have shown cars several times at this event but never in the Barnfind Showcase which is always one of my favorites.
I would hope anyone who has interest in the story on this car would come by and take a good look. I would appreciate any opinions or advice.
I am glad to have the opportunity to expose the car before the restoration starts so there will be no questions about what it is. What's there what's not. It is what it is.
As for the question of the vin plate showing up on another car. IMHO I think that is very unlikely. If the vin plate had been sold or moved to another car for any reason than it is only logical that the trim tag would have been moved as well. It is obvious that this car was a race car and the firewall and cowl were cut for the down bars on the roll cage. The dash would have had to be cut or removed as well. The dash that is in the car has not been cut and there is every indication it has been replaced.
So it seems very logical to me that when the car was put back on the street the cut up or missing dash was replaced with a salvage one and the vin plate removed because it did not match the car or title.
This is only my theory but it is the only one that makes sense to me. I am out of town until tomorrow night but I will post the photos of the holes in the firewall and cowl that pointed me in this direction.

Gee...do you think this one will get any attention at the MCACN show? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]

Thanks for accepting the invite Jamie, and get ready...your jaw is going to be tired from talking about this awesome discovery!

Yep...yet another reason that the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals show is an <span style="font-style: italic">absolute must do</span> event!
