Default 74 75 Question

Has anyone heard of late production run 74 Vettes having 75 front noses installed on them from the factory....I have heard that some 1967 small block Vettes had big block hoods from the factory when they ran out of small block hoods....

Both are myths.

That car was for sale here on CF a couple years ago (twice) by the previous owner, but he got all huffy about something and pulled the ad. It's the exact color combo and drivetrain that is #2 on my wish list, but it would be expensive to make it correct again. For someone who wouldn't be bothered by that, it appears to be a really nice car.

I'll give you three guesses and the first two don't count.
