I will repeat what Fxstcc11 stated, which is the Nutmeg car was NEVER intended to be converted.
Also, I just spoke to Warren by phone to confirm that he did in fact install a 427 he built from spare late model stock car parts for Dave Neeley after Dave blew up the born with L78. Absolutely no connection to Yenko beyond Warren being the service manager there. Hopefully this helps clarify the history.
I also am personal friends with the original owner family of the red car discussed earlier, (Gary Dyers car), which was also a Henderson stated Supercar, but was later proven to be untrue.
The brown car history has been updated in the registry... end of story. What you provided was just a restatement of what has been discussed.

Regarding the GR car it was purported to be a converted car by previous owners and then COPO Connection certified by previous owners. It was restored by a previous owner as a 427 converted car based on information known at the time, as stated above. It was again restored as a 427 converted car by SCW and once new information was discovered was returned to unconverted by the SCW.

As I stated previously take your issues along with your buddy Tim's directly to the person. Posting on this site is a privilege!
