Airfare is pretty cheap. You could check it out yourself. That is a decent looking car from the Pics. I think that living in VA you would like a hardtop in the turns.
Could be a 421 bored to 428 as the source of confusion? Nice M/T covers. I agree that there are fishy unanswered questions, but it has a pretty oringal look from the Pics. You could also run a quick PHS on it before you bought it if he'd give you a VIN.
Just a couple of thoughts. There have been a couple of nice '66 389 convertibles & HTs on E-Bay recently. You could always have Central VA Machine build you a nice motor out of one of those.
