1967 Impala SS427 L-72?

I was under the impression that the judges thought the car was the real deal. The guy who normally judges the fullsize stuff and is truly knowledgeable on those cars couldn't make the show. Had he been there, the judging results would have been much different.

Gosh, is that one fuzzy description. Whoever wrote that prob is a spin doctor in DC.

LOL got that right. I've talked to a couple of people who weren't familiar with the car and after reading the auction description, they thought it was real.

If they know it's a clone, then they should have the description clearly state that. It's their auction, they can or should edit descriptions to make them more clear and less vague if they know the car is a clone.

I bet some of the people bidding on that car at the auction will think it's now a clone.

Interesting that they refer to Chevrolet By the Numbers. I don't have my Colvin book in front of me, but didn't the book say something more like; There were 11 L72 engines built, but no record of any ever being installed.? It seems they might be twisting that a little bit.

Careful wording and someone will buy it and think they got the Holy Grail car..........Just like the 1 of 1 Black Nova............

This car was offered for sale at Mecum's May 2013 auction. It had a high bid of $120,000 with no sale.
