I remember ten or so years ago someone saying, "The Lear Jets are taking off as we speak." (To get to a car that came out of hiding.)

Interesting car. Not knocking it at all, but a few questions come to mind.

How did it go from an L78, M22, 4.56 to an L78, M21, 4.10 car?

Have you tried to get docs for it?

Stopped up and looked the car over. Very much a street racer set up car. It is a BV coded rear. So having lived in that time period, the 1st owner knew what he was ordering. Good street set up, and some tweaking to make it hook and breathe. And some neat add ons. It would have given a COPO Camaro a good run in the day. Cool piece.

Great link Carleen! Definitely the same car. I had no idea it was for sale before. I do know the reason both radiators were out of both cars. The guys son I was told used them for a bad habit. Not confirming that, but what I was told.

bcmiller, no offense taken! It is what it is. I was told M22/4:56. It definitely is not after i received car and checked #'s. Keep in mind owner was recollecting 48 years ago and after talking to him a few times he didnt seem to be much of a "car guy." As far as docs, if they are there I will find them. Can be a tiresome gruelling process, but i actually enjoy the hunt.
