Those guys that passed on the carb swap must have thought you were pulling a milking scheme on them , or something like that.
I would have taken you up on the offer both times.
Noticed the jack tab in trunk floor for the fullsize spare.
Jack would be under the package shelf with no tab , or sliced off tab remnant in the floor.
The engine in my old car had never been out but did have the timing chain done by previous owner.
At 83k it still ran beautiful and was beautiful under the valve covers.
This one has had the timing cover and oil pan off at minimum.
And that's no sin.
With all the things I can see in the auction pictures , I think the old Registry notes are correct about the previous restoration and mileage.
This car has been deeply restored back when.
Well preserved since and the patina is catching up to it enough to maybe make some folks unsure either way.
I don't care what somebody pays for it , high or low.
The pictures are there on everything for a complete analysis by anyone.
It's a very very well vetted car now and that is historical in itself.
The seller is being very righteous overall.
Your uptick replacements have helped it too.
Good post Steve
