I just learned the car is being discussed again (at least twice previously)regarding the 5K redline. This car is a very nice honest low mileage car. We certified it in our Vintage program a couple of years ago. Infact when it was originally for sale I was second in line and really wanted the car, but you know how that goes.
I along with the other judges felt the tach looked as though it was original to the car(based on securing hardware and other factors), and we assumed/concluded it was a factory mistake. We did not do carbon dating
to confirm it was original to the car.
The car has provenance and pedigree and we stand behind our findings as noted on the judging sheets. BTW the car was seen by many including Legend Second Gen Judges and was available for inspection the whole weekend.
Anomalies are nothing new to these mass produced cars. If someone is interested in the car just PM me and I will pull the judging sheets.
I would advise anyone interested to take a look and drive the car, rather than just speculate from afar.
Hope this clears up any questions.
