I’ve seen the car in person & love the way it was restored with its patched inner fenders and dash pinstriping preserved because it represents the car’s history, character, and individuality. As far as the block goes, it gets a pass from me because this car was a racecar it’s whole life and the OEM block was sacrificed to the horsepower gods to build the 409 legend that still endures today. If I were building a GM musclecar collection, it would be bookended with this car in the beginning and a 1974 SD455 Pontiac at the opposite end.
