My restoration shop bakes all of their bodies and frames. The trim tags have to be removed to do this. This car was literally being finished as it was going on the trailer to AZ. I about "%$#&" when I got to Scottsdale two years ago and I saw those rivets! I pointed them out to the buyer after the car ran through the auction, but since I was able to give him the name and numbers of all of the owners he was ok. The rivets are how I knew it had to be the same car. As far as the tach is concerned, it had the proper tach in it when I sold it...don't know. Absolutely an original born with drivetrain car and original sheet metal car. I did not realize it had been talked about here before.

The documentation I had was only owner history. However, each owner agreed to sign affadavits for the car stating its history and originality. I also shared the pics of the car with my favorite Chevelle Judge. I was trying to buy the car back last summer, because I was going to pay to get it certified. The guy did not post any pics of the pad stamp, but it is absolutely the original engine with the original broach marks.
By the way, the guy at the resto shop that used those rivets was promptly fired.

I just spoke with the current owner and the original tach was changed because it wasn't working. I notified him that it is the improper tach.
