68 SS 427 NOVA??????

[MotownMadman]

I talked with the owner, his brother-in-law had a few of the details wrong. The car is not an SS. It is a plain Jane rubber floor mat Medium blue(Lemans?)automatic car. He bought the car for racing, the dealer in North Carolina ordered him the car from another dealer. The original engine is currently not in the car but he does have it. The car has never been registered on the street, drag raced from day one and parked in the mid seventies. Original faded paint, fenderwells cut for tires. The guy insists, and sounds sincere and not dumb) that the car is a 427/425. Told me he has all the original paperwork from the North Carolina dealer from new. Said it took almost two months to have the car delivered from another dealer and had several hundred miles on it when he bought it. Told me he didnt understand why we were having the conversation as his family knows it is not for sale. True drag racer, could care less about original, rare, history, restorations, or money, only cares that cars go fast, said it was one of his first and has sentimental value. Who do we have here in NC?
