Re: Anyone know this car?
The car looked pretty nice in the photos. Too bad there weren't any photos of the P-O-P or close-ups of the engine pad or rear end code to help convince people that it was not an LT-1 "tribute car".- Top

Re: Anyone know this car?
The seller told me that I greatly inconvenienced his wife, because he kept those things in the safety deposit box and she had to retrieve them from the bank. I like you want to see the details and I never did get to see those items. Just as well, it is the little things that make Forrest run.- Top

Re: Anyone know this car?
Seller told me he bought this car as an "investment" I found the Ebay auction of less than a year ago where he bought it for 33K. Trying to make 30% on your money in less than a year is pretty much pie in the sky I think. He also told me he has a Mulsanne Blue 70 LT1 coupe, with a Duntov, which he does not mention is quite a few years old, and it was a body on resto when done by the previous owner. He told me he would let me have that one for 70K. I guess I am missing something here, but I think that is a high premium.- Top

Re: Anyone know this car?
LT1 tributes were being created three years after they were new. It was a very popular game for some in the mid 70's. For the unsuspecting, or maybe did not matter at the time, the best part is the rocker studs pull out pretty quick when you push near the red line - oops - that could happen with a LT1 motor?- Top

Re: Anyone know this car?
Ron,
Just to piggy back on the point you are making: In 1978 I saw a 1970 with A/C and LT1 that the owner was presenting as original at a car show -- a car show where a lot of people should have known better. He had this long story to go with his assertions. Some in the audience were latching on to his story hook, line & sinker. Both fuel lines were still in the frame rail, but he had done a lot of nice work to the rest of the car.Terry- Top
