That may be true, but I know of a dozen orig 410 L78's cars that did not have a curve neck. It might have been a substitute that was used on 410 cars when inventory of the standard l78 radiator were low.

hhhh man...the originality even smells good from here!.

Survivor cars like this w/ their imperfections and history intact are a treat to see...way more than the 'correct' cars that've had their's wiped away during the resto process!.

Welcome Jim...you belong here!.
