Re: looks are deceiving L-71
------In the $29,000 area the car is fairly priced unless the frame is rusted out. You could fluff a lot of small stuff and still be on the money. I did notice it has headers, I think, but even thats not that big a deal.
------Im curious, Chris, how did you get that shot of the pad. Its a good one!.......Bill S

Re: looks are deceiving L-71
Great pic of the pad. You can even see where the stamp bounced.

Re: looks are deceiving L-71
I like the engine pad but I am not up on similar dated pads to see if they used 0 and O on similar. Someone must have some close built engines in their data base. TimG where are you ?

Re: looks are deceiving L-71
The car looks pretty legit to me... Don't know why someone would restamp a car that hasn't been restored and has had headers installed at some point.

Re: looks are deceiving L-71
I don't have a problem with the "O's" or even the inverted "8", I've got plenty of examples of those in my files. The over stamp is a bit unusual and pretty messy. I'd look real hard for 435 signs on this car. No pictures of the tach, oil pressure gauge, four bolt main (big oil cooler plug), or transistor ignition stuff.
These would help verify its 435 heritage. Could it be a 390 horse motor with an over stamp from the factory? Could it have been over stamped later in life? I don't know. Too bad they had to pull the motor and rebuild it, with a strange stamp and no paperwork, you'd love to see the motor in its original, never removed condition. They should have documented the motor before removal if nothing else.
