i 'think' they were talking about (R) Arlington cars being red-oxide underside ...
it was hard to tell what anyone meant specifically on that matter. imo

Also folks should note the placement of engine VIN on this Atlanta built car.
They were doing that in 69 and 70 , perhaps more.
Not the typical timing cover parallel position
- Framingham did this some as well (non-typical location)

I am a little surprised it has a 28273 carb at the point it was built.
Maybe Atlanta didn't build their estimated allotment of Pattern Cars and had some of the early stuff still lagging in inventory.
Casting dates on block/heads/intake would be good to know.

VERY cool car
but don't think it had as much time stored in garages & barns as indicated.
Looks like it spent a LOT of time outside in the past.
