[69LM1]

"Did you ask him if it was a clone? Did he do the resto or did he buy it as it sits?"

yes, and his response was that he would not guarantee anything. He *thought* it was a copo. He is sure that he got the car with a numbers matching (the vin on the deck?) 427 in it. Then during the restoration and engine rebuild, the block was "restamped" exactly as it was.

Also, the intake is not an GM aluminum one, but painted gray. He does have a original GM/Winters intake date coded near the car, but it is not on the car (has some issue if I remember?)

He had it restored by a guy in Donaldsonville, Louisiana. From what I understand, for big dollars. I mentioned 50 grand and he smiled and said "Much More".

At that time, he said his cash price was 75k, if I remember correctly, so the reserve is getting close.

Again, great looking car. Not a drop of oil.
