MOST of the fake POP's I have seen have non-existent addresses. This address is legit. Someone in that county could check the records to see if Calvin J. White lived there in 1970. That would be a good start. Then, see if he is still alive, etc.

If this is the same car that was at the reunion, then I sat at the table with the owner, along with Kendall T. and some others. Really nice guy. I believe there was also a representative from Legendary there with him as they were still doing some research on detail items to make sure all was correct. It is a gorgeous car. Would be nice to see this settled one way or another.

The name does not come up in a search for property records of Montgomery County, Pa recorder of deeds office. This is where all the deeds are recorded when property is purchased.
I believe the name on the POP it is Calvin L. White..correct??
The actual address could be searched as to who the owner was, but I have not figured how to obtain the tax lot numer...but a phone call to the Tax-assesor's office could accomlish that.
Unfortunately I'm traveling tomorrow Am...bit I will see what i can dig uo when I get back next week.
The problem is that he could have lived there when he bought the car but not actually have owned the property.

Didn't this car have a set of 074 aluminum heads on it when seen at Vette-fest? With factory closed chamber pistons, the compression would not be 11:1, so.........

Possible scenario: If the car has 074 open chamber heads, and if 12.5:1 closed chamber pistons were used would that not put the squeeze around 11:1? I feel if the car is legit then the owner should have no problem with sharing all the internals of the engine. Dates and Part numbers on the heads, Piston compression ratio and part numbers, Is the Deck surface original where the stampings are. Does the vin number on the trans match the same font as the engine deck? Also I agree that if he could get a hold of Calvin ------ of Hatboro PA. he should do everything to get a hold of this original owner. I for one would like to get this myth dispelled once and for all. LETS GET THE FULL STORY!!!!! Theres more to tell than the POP
