I’m no expert, but I’d have someone knowledgeable look at the stamp pad. Does not look original to me........ and I’ve looked at a lot of stamp pads on this site over the last 9 years...... again, not making me an expert.
That’s a lot of money for a car with the issues identified. Considering the photos on the registery shows the A.I.R equipment and now it’s gone, it almost makes you think someone was selling expensive components off the car to milk every dollar out. I’d be very careful.
Good luck.

I am looking at a 1971 LT1 and need some help verifying a true LT1
I hope to go to Michigan in a week to view the car and need to know if a NCRS member could help
me verify the authenticity. I am willing to pay for the advice. I don't want to make a 50K mistake.
thanks

the stamp pad: the lettering on the right hand side looks correct, based on font and size, the left hand side, looks like current font and size... just my .02... my original '76 pad has the larger script/font across the entire pad
they also appear to have a difference in metal depth and strike energy, factory appearing pressed, the lettering on the left appears much rougher as though it was hit several times with a hammer to make the mark
now that being said, they look very much in line, and machining on the pad appears to match across the pad, need higher resolution, and multiple angles and better lighting of the pad and we can tell you whats going with it
if you want to get really crazy with the pad, you can flux it to see if the metal has been welded to build it up and mill it back down to match heights... the swirl of the weld puddles will show up with the magnetic fields, but you'd need someone who knows what your trying to do to check this
