Yes we Vintage Certified the car in 2004. The car did achieve our Legend award. The car has complete original drivetrain. The owner should have the judging sheets I would contact him. If he's agreeable I can release them as well. There aren't too many COPO's in this condition. I will say over the years the many owners attempted to enhance its condition.

For that kind of money, I would have to have it re-certified. Many things could have happened to that paint, if its had more than one care taker since judging. If something happens to a car (storage, in and off trailers, etc), you never know if it was made to look like the original survivor state, and if that is the case, you made a big mistake if found later. I think running this car back through judging, would cover that base for me, for that kind of money.

It is a car that anyone would like to have, no doubt.

He wants more than twice what the starting bid is.

I agree and after seeing the photo that Chuck posted, I would say that the motor compartment has been restored. Still a neat car though.
