Just for my reference....in terms of this auction, does "matching numbers" mean they are saying original, born-with drivetrain or a re-stamp or anything in between? Seems like many are matching numbers. The 71 LS6 vert 'vette seemed low to me.

No it does not mean original born with components. While it could or may be original, the language in the auction contract does not dictate that it is necesarily original to the car.

Most auctions also do not guarantee the sellers claims of originality and or authenticity. Many provide for a period of time, for example, 24 hours for you to inspect the numbers and paperwork. This is why all of this/inspection/research needs done prior to bidding, that is if you care about authenticity.

I thought the 71 Camino was ridiculous at 100k+fees. Look under the hood, where's the brake booster? Among other things.
