Re: Fake Trim Tag?
I have really tried to stay away from car bashing, as I don't believe that is what this site is all about, but do have some serious questions about this car, only because of how it is being represented. Others have already mentioned manifolds, stripes, MC, alt pulley etc. I know Colvin's book lists the 041 head as being POSSIBLE on a 302, just have never seen or heard of an original car that actually has them. Just like Jerry M's book lists the 170 water pump as being possible on a 302, but don't believe anyone has ever found one on an ORIGINAL car. I guess it bothers me when there are so many incorrect details, yet all of the paint marks and supposed chalk marks are put in place.
Claims to have an original build sheet. Would like to see that on a Norwood car. He could have shown at least a partial photo. Maybe my eyes are just that bad, but in the photo just above the trim tag, isn't the gap between the quarter panel and the tail panel filled in with bondo on this car? What is up with that?
Seller was asked for the casting date on the block, and avoided the answer by saying it is in the description. Are my eyes that bad? I can't find the casting date. Wouldn't it have been easier for the seller to just state the date? Why so evasive?
If the tag is a fake, it is certainly one of the better ones. Would like to hear from Mark C. or Kurt on this one.
