Tangled web aside, what was Tom B's Unconverted 9737 like before the resto?.
Was there a major reason to not leave it as a 5800 mile survivor?.

I heard it was pretty solid, with most of its original parts still intact. But unfortuantly when restored, these parts were replaced, which was noted when the car was judged at Chevy Vettefest, thus did not score well.

Also, seems at the time of restoration there was some drama surronding the engine(s) for the car.

Of note, the ad says a dealer trade from Yenko To Kenny Ross. There is no disputing the car was bought new from Kenny Ross Chevrolet, but as far as I know, no records backing up the claim of a dealer trade. Possible, as most folks believe that Yenko was the only dealer to get COPOs in '68, but the car may have never been at Yenko. .
