Not a Z24. Even rarer. L36, T400 w/ 2:73 gears. The only item missing from the born with everything in the car was the engine block heater. Probably the most original, unrestored, near perfect 67 there is.

It's now back in Canada where she was born at the Oshawa Plant in a collection.

Here are some pictures I took of the car in question at Mecum Indy in 2013. I'm no full size expert, but I thought 2Z was the code for the M40 TH400 and 2L would be the code for an M21 or M22 4 speed. I don't know what the 4R is. I believe 5Y was deluxe seat belts.

Your absolutely right. 2Z is for an automatic. 4R is for a rear window defog I believe. It's a shame it's a fake car. I always wanted to believe they made a 425hp car. Awesome color too. My car has the infamous 4D on the tag which is bulletproof for the Z24 option.

4R is fender skirts.

Car still has the 2nd set of crossmember mounts for the TH400 trans!

Car still fooled the MCACN judges that year it was shown. lol

The guy who had the 67 L72 experimental car was John Hinckley, aka JohnZ. It's nice to at least correctly attribute it to the right person.

I almost bought that car at the auction because my Daughter was with me and she thought it looked like the car in the TV show &quot;Supernatural&quot;. She thought it would be fun to drive to high school.
