69 X22 on ebay dealer installed 427...REAL?

[Lynn]

Cobbled up car at best with a resale paint job. Heater core bypassed. No wiper motor. Hurst super shifter with the tunnel cut up and a mongo boot to cover the hole. If it were truly a labor of love, someone would have taken care of those things, as well as the "easy fix" back up lights. I am always amazed at the guys that tell you about these "easy fix" deals. If it's so easy, why didn't someone do it?

I don't know about you guys, but I don't know why having a "dealer installed" 427 would make one of these cars more valuable than if the it had an "owner installed" 427 back in the day. I realize some of the first swaps such as Nickey, Motion and Yenko have historical significance. Personally, I wouldn't pay any extra just because a dealer installed an engine.

No telling how beat up and rusty this thing was. How much rust was properly cut out and repaired, and how much was covered up only to rear its ugly head in a few years?

Just my two cents.
