Default GR Yenko

Again, there really isn't any 'new' information being presented, all of these points were well discussed many years ago. The Nutmeg car was special ordered, we have the actual order form and related shipping documents. How the car was restored based on the info at that time is between the seller and buyer. Anyone is allowed to take exception, but there's no need to air this out in public when you could just as easily call someone and share what you believe.

Your claim about the GR is a bit off though. That car actually had COPO Connection certification of it being a 427 car, and it was initially restored as a 427 converted car by Gary Holub in IA. The car went through a couple of subsequent owners who all bought it as a certified 427 car until a collector decided to re-restore the car correctly. We all looked at the paper trail of COPO certification, the prior owners of Mitch Moore and Gary Dyer, etc...and it was restored as per the collector's request as he believed it to be a 427 car. Once it was deemed a non-427 car, the collector removed the 427 along with the stripes and installed a 396. It is none of our business how he handled the legal side of things, but neither resto shop in this case certified that car.
