here it what people are looking at.
you could NOT get AC with a Ram Air IV engine, SO what happened?
did the factory use an AC body by mistake?
did someone add AC at some point?
did someone change bodies at some point in the life of this car?

NOW, IF someone changed bodies, that means they changed the vin tag on the dash. IF they changed the VIN tag, that is illegal, go to jail, go directly to jail, as that is a felony. crossing state lines they will check the vin before giving you a registration in that state. most times they just check the vin on the dash, but they can check the other stamping also. as long as the vin doesn't come up stolen, you get your paperwork.

if you buy it knowing that it is changed to keep just as a nice driver, it is on you. problem is, if you ever decide to sell it, the new owner can claim you sold a faked car and sue. this is really dicey, like playing musical chairs, last one standing without a chair looses. we used to have a dealer here in Ohio who had a car lot full of LS-6 SS Chevelles, being sold for big money, problem was, as I heard the were not real. all I know for sure is they are not around any more, but heard they were prosecuted for it.

now you really want to screw things up? I have been in muscle cars since the mid 70's when I drove a 1967 SS Chevelle to high school. I collected all the magazines I could get my hands on about old muscle cars from new back then, to bought at car shows now. back in the 70's, several of the biggest well know engine rebuilders, and body shops of the day would come straight out and talk about renumbering blocks to matching number, and rebadging shells that were too wasted. that is the reason guys check and check and check before buying these old cars for big money.

I will say this, I have dealt with Sweet Muscle before with NO problems, everything was up front and as stated. I was injured in Afghanistan and at FT Know KY right now waiting for knee replacement surgery, so I will be out of the game for the next year. if I was closer, and not laid up, I would get rid of a couple of my projects and get this as a driver to play with, and keep till I died.
