<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: mrays</div><div class="ubbcode-body">It has one of the longest writeups I've ever seen and is quite an entertaining read. For all the facts pointing out why it's real, the TH400 code on the Trim Tag, the repainted tach yellow &amp; red lines and the TH400 transmission crossmember brackets are never mentioned. </div></div>

What comes to mind for me is the old adage &quot;if you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bull$hit&quot;.

Pure BS fraud cars are not the same as cars w/ facts being debated by the genuine enthusiasts and it's just plain wrong how innocent names get dragged into these stories and schemes.

The car would have been better off being driven to my Daughter's high school every once in awhile.

That has GOT to be one of the worst written &quot;for-sale ad&quot; I've ever read. I think I've said this before but when you make people's head hurt wile reading your description, it really does take away from it's credibility. I think it may have been written by the owner of the '69 L-72 SS 4-spd I was chasing!

Geez... that ad!

A whole lot of his &quot;undisputed facts&quot; sure do get &quot;disputed&quot; by the REAL experts that know the car is a fraud! LOL

Yep, That was Bill Mc Call's car. It was a beautiful car, but not real. Supposedly Dealer installed heads. He also did a real 1968 Gotto Blue L72 4speed Biscayne that sold in Kissimmee about 6 years ago for almost 200K. Check out the current discussion over at Impalass427.com on the 67 car. Pretty interesting.

Funny how these 1 of 1 cars gain Credibility by some &quot;Drum Beating&quot; by those with vested interests.......And the story go's on for another to pop up at some time in the future........

You will be able to see it on TV crossing the block at Mecum Indy in May.

Among the tidbits from the description:

&quot;Per Chevrolet By The Numbers, there were 11 ID-suffix Special High Performance L72 427/425 HP engines built for the 1967 Passenger Car. The only example known to exist. Gold award at MCACN 2011, score of 992/1000
MCACN judges, including chief judge Bill Braun, state that this engine casting is late 1966, correct for this car&quot;

https://www.mecum.com/lots/SC0517-28...vrolet-ss-427/

Seems like he is using the MCACN judging to push the idea that car is real....
