When Legendary's green 71 was at the auction, I was walking around with Galen and he told me the whole story about how he located the original block and Peter rebuilt it and installed it in the car. I don't see what Galen would have to gain by stating the car had its original motor if in fact it did not? That would seem to be a loosing situation for Galen and his reputation. Peter and David from Legendary also told me the car now had its original motor back in it , and it was represented as such by the auction.
As far as originality , the whole car look restored to me , like it was a rotisserie job. Pretty much making the 7k miles a moot point , as the car looked brand new all over.
As far as my information on other sales, it was reported to be reliable but one can never tell with these Hemi Cuda sales reports. I heard all of the reports at Meadow Brook in the company of the Mopar gurus gathered around the Hemi convertible display. You know, the circle of cars that is worth more than every house in my neighborhood
