I would have to strongly agree. More than one car has been lost out on because it was not taken seriously and followed up on. For every 10 leads, 9 are wild goose chases but the one can more than cover the last 9. Do yourself a favor and look into. No harm done. As I have also found out numerous times upon investigating a car, that the car turned out to be nothing but in the ensuing conversation, I found other cars or parts that I purchased.

What about the in-ability to get an automatic (TH400) with a 427/425 in '68 ? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif[/img]

What dealers doing conversions were within "several hundred miles" of where it was bought? That seems to be an interesting clue. It also seems that some people back then got sold on the idea that the L78 was "just the same as" the 396/425 from late '65. Pretty soon, their 396/375 became as good as a 427/425 in their mind, and, sometimes in conversation. Don't forget, there were some with these two engines who would have swapped air cleaner tops [decals] with each other for opposite reasoning.

Casey the only automatic solid lifter car in 1968 was thanks to Fred Gibb and the 50 copo novas. Kim
