It's a topic that's been well covered before but sadly in today's world, 'numbers matching' means just that...nothing about it being THE original motor. .

Reading ads these days, it's often best to forget what it says and just look for what's not said? .

My favourite is the 'correct restamp' term...what a great oxymoron! .

I think it's excellent how the seller has been up front immediately when asked and not tried to sidestep the issue...personally I'd prefer situations like this w/ the 'correct' motor but unstamped. .

Muscle semantics in todays world:

Whenever I now read an ad and it contains the terms "correct" or "numbers matching" I automatically interpret them to represent a car that does not retain it's "born in " driveline
