Maybe he/she/they did and I am unaware, but I don't think there was a thread like that here. I still say that the car is extremely well-known already and IMO, the P-O-P doesn't add a great percentage of monetary value........notice I said MONETARY VALUE.........cool factor? Absolutely, but I just don't see it raising the price of the car that much. </div></div>

I tend to agree with this statement. When I found the car and had is restored, I was in touch with Vinny throughout the process even though his health was failing. Thanks to Ed Alessi, I was able to get a notarized statement and signature from Vinny stating the car was a factory 427/425. The car has other documentation as well and a nice photo history. The POP is not needed to prove its pedigree but I think it should be mated with the car at a nominal fee at best. Great car with great history. I have no idea where the car is now. </div></div>

I'm confused. We did the restoration for Clint Richmond who found the car here in IA. It was white with Yenko stripes being very successfully raced. Your profile name is Tom Callahan. I don't remember you in the mix.
