Default Re: Mecum Auction Hemi Fest

Its actually my old car.. I know of a few ZL1 that were found in the same shape with most of the parts missing and restored back to original. I dont think anyone is trying to rep it as a numbers car at least I hope not! Although alot of original pieces were missing.. It was restored with correct parts and done very nicely I might add. The car was pretty clean with the trunk (just the center section) and the upper valance being replaced, probably do to the vinyl top holding water, The car has super nice floors and frame rails its all body color underneath so its not hiding anything. The car does have its original body numbers (Vin, radiator support and cowl).. As for the fender tags, Galen made them and put what options he could find or tell the car came with with visual inspections and talking to previous owners (was restored and that way when I bought it). Galen inspected the car when it was found and also did a visual inspection and full report for me when I had it, Although its not a NUMBERS CAR it is a REAL 71' HEMI 4 speed car and pretty darn rare. And being its not a numbers car you can actually drive it and hammer on it alittle. =)

The car had a folder with every title copy from previous owners including the the first title when new and a copy of the original bill of origin, Magazine articles, Pretty bullet proof docs as to being a real Hemi car.

I wouldnt mind having the car back actually.. it was a pretty decent car if you can get over the fact it not a numbers car.. but the price will definatey reflect that..
