Interesting information Motown. Even if he doesn't want to sell the car, it would be great if somebody could check it out with the paperwork to see what it really is. The historical value of the car is what is interesting now.

Jeff, It is amazing what you can find out by talking to people who have stuff for sale on Ebay, when I am asking about parts or cars I always Email my toll free number so people call...it's hard to get additional off topic info using Emails. I am going to follow up on this if nothing more but to get the details, thats why I was wondering who we have down that way that would like to go on a mission.
Thanks,

Motown, the car would have to be a SS to be a 396 car,Also no Gibb car was lemans blue. It would have to be a dealer transplant. Kim

Kim, This is why I posted this here, to save me the trouble of chasing my tail. It sounds like I dont need to waste my time do follow up on this thing as it doesnt sound correct. I dont know that it is Lemans blue, he had said a medium blue color, I was taking a guess. Drag race guys are a different breed anyway when it comes to the history or car equipment equation. Anybody on this board who owned this car would know every option and code, as well as knowing the color beyond just "Blue". I think I got enough info here to drop this one in the trash can and move on. Thanks for the info guys.

I would have to strongly agree. More than one car has been lost out on because it was not taken seriously and followed up on. For every 10 leads, 9 are wild goose chases but the one can more than cover the last 9. Do yourself a favor and look into. No harm done. As I have also found out numerous times upon investigating a car, that the car turned out to be nothing but in the ensuing conversation, I found other cars or parts that I purchased.
