This world today will just jump on every bit of history to try and make a buck. What I don't understand is how did that cloan sell for $176000 !
It said in the link that ctjackster posted that that car was a 4 speed.

Jim, I completely agree - I was dumbfounded as to why this car fetched so much money - it is not presented in its correct Shriner SB form, and certainly not with its orginal L79; and so what if it has had a 427 dropped in configured as an unstreetable L88?

It's kind of like dropping a hemi in any old Chrysler product and getting big bucks for it. Crazy.

I did not read the whole log here as I have this morning. Thanks to GL and cyjackster for the updates.

It is the fraud of this car that appears on nation wide TV that bothers me greatly. This country needs a big vacumn cleaner. MONEY.... MONEY....... MONEY.
