"what I did here was present the side that was presented to us...."

No, you told us what was true about the car in a completely biased and pompous way. If you think that you gave the unbiased "facts" for all to evaluate you are a fool.

Only a true idiot strongly supports facts that he cannot verify.

Not trying to raise any hackles but the bottom line is if the guy is trying to prove it's real he dosent have the right info to back up his claim. If he is trying to prove its something that it's not he's on the right track. Really if you wanted to make a fake look real you would think the guy would come up with a more legit story. All a guy would have to do is spend a few days on this board reading threads and he would be able to come up with a more viable story to substaciate his claim. Lets say it is real and give him the benifit of the dought, he dosent have the right info avaiable to a potential buyer to get his price unless he finds a rich rube'. Concensus seems to be the car is not real and unless some new or unfound info hits the site thats not going to change anytime soon. Blownaway i see your just the go between but put yourself in our shoes, would you believe you with so much evidence against and not much for?. Your bringing a car to the guys that live and breath this stuff you should be aware that they might tear you a new one!

The lakewood cage is the typical 3 point kind and it came out in 66-67 era.
I noticed in an old pic the car had a Mr. Gasket Vertical gate. The first style came out in '72 and the second style came out in '74ish. I can't remember if it had the first or second style but the style would help date the car.

The motor in the car is a 427 from a 68 Corvette with a Corvette VIN so there's no way it's the original motor for the car. The rest of the story is interesting but without some solid proof or paperwork it's a crap shoot.

Not sure if this means anything or not but the vertical gate shifter in the car is the later style that came out in 74ish and on up. The first style had a litle round bar off the main handle and they were prone to breakage. It was a poor design. Mr. G then came out with the triangular shaped brace that was very strong. This piece is on the front of the shifter.
