Do you guys think there are people jerking the owner over with these email rants..BKH

You would think he would verify the information before posting.

As Reynolds noted, the trim tag rivets are the incorrect generic pop-rivet style, so there's a good chance this tag was not on this car when new.

This sure is a great illustration of how fish stories are created and perpetuated.

One other point - isn't the heater box configuration the small-block variety?

It may be the original trim tag but was removed to paint the firewall. This is a mistake that you see on some older restorations. Looks like they painted everything under the hood with the body color making it look like a Chrysler product. The sellers email address tells a lot -- autobroker yahoo -- woohoo

Did anyone notice the seat belt buckels that are with the standard interour? I think this is a scam tactic to get the bid up on a piece of junk worth maybe 5 grand at the most.
