During the 19 year period between the end of this thread (2003) and the time that I purchased the car, the previous owner (Matt) located and purchased much of the original drivetrain. You’ll note in this thread that Matt had a lead on the Yenko installed 427 back in 2002. Matt is a great guy and a tenacious researcher. With Matt’s help, I was able to contact the second owner (Bob B). Bob was the owner who removed the original tags and substituted 6 cylinder tags to save on insurance. Amazingly, Bob saved the original tags in his tool box for the next 47 years! Also, during his ownership, Bob removed the original rear and installed an Olds rear (heavy duty for racing). Bob sold (or gave) the original 12 bolt to his cousin who left it in his father’s barn for all of these years.
