Thats because they know it is a "1 of 4"

What Drew said while the car was on the block was that "Everyone said that a car like this did not exist, so the experts were sent to Legendary Motors to inspect the car. Peter laid out the POP's from other Novas of the same era to compare and the experts were sent home with their tails between their legs"

Daves wording from the Window sheet........

The over 2 1/2 year rotisserie restoration is evident on this #1 Supercar. A 100% numbers matching "born with" drivetrain; all original sheetmetal, body panels,floor and trunk with perfect Tuxedo Black is powered by the 375 hp engine

All components on the car are factory and date code correct



This amazing Nova underwent a nut and bolt restoration to factory specs at Legendary Motorcar of Canada where the car was documented as authentic by Supercar experts during the assembly.



Now!!........I find it Amazing that the "Experts" at Legendary that spent 2 1/2 years restoring the 1 of 1 "Holy Grail" car .......didn't even know that 074 heads were not correct for that application, or the engine shop that assembled the engine didn't question the piston/head/compression issue......"And" these guys are the "Experts" that walk on water........Remember....Dave said he took the factory installed original 074 heads off the engine to "Protect" them......Amazing......Non withstanding the fact that the Engine option was cancelled 5 months before the car was built.......
Not to get into this again.......But......The history and prior ownership of the car is suspiciously swept under the rug......For the rarest Super car that Chevrolet ever built to not have it's background authenticated is a "Clue"....

Hey Ken.....if you talk to Dave, tell him there's another set of 074 heads for sale in the parts for sale section. He may want another "backup" set.

Can someone post a photo of the protecto-plate again. I have been doing research at various courthouses in the area in the deed record/archives rooms. If I recall the owner's address from 1970 was in Eastern Pa. When/if I get to that county, I can check who was the owner of that address back in 1970. I think a confirmation that the name and address on the protecto-plate are accurate as far "as the County records" would go a long way in helping me believe in this car.

..I remember seeing a foto of the protecto-plate somewhere in another thread..I cant seem to find it... thanks max

I searched through the tax records online during one of the other threads. Calvin White did indeed own 418 Corinthean until he sold it in Oct 2004. Something to go on if one were so inclined...
