Tom (tom M), Stefano did state the owner showed no proof it was an authentic W31.

no proof its not a real w-31? i don't see a broadcast card.


Stefano stated the following:

"However, I did not see any proof presented that this is indeed an authentic W-31?"

I guess this shows us what an AACA certification is worth. I have always felt that AACA certifications are more about how many times you present the car at their show than it is about the correctness of a car.

For muscle cars in general, an award at MCACN would carry far more weight than an AACA award. AACA awards have never been any indicator that a given car came from the factory exactly as presented at their shows.

Flip side and not siding that this car is real as I don’t care but there is a local Z and it had a factory A/C box installed by the dealer and still has it today. Wanna say it’s an x77 car too. I’ll look and see if I still have photos. Point is, it can be done if someone really wanted to.

An A/C body and a Non A/C body are two different bodies. Not just the firewall.

The car in question is a beautiful car. The new owner may not even care if it is a real W-31.
