Oh man....this car, or should I say the two guys who misrepresented and sold this to me continue to haunt me. I accepted my responsibility in missing the re-stamped engine number, but they have never acknowledged that the VERY definitive language they used to describe the car proved to be patently untrue. Glad to see that the current owner is NOT using 'matching numbers' terminology. I had bought and restored the car exclusively because of my belief that it was indeed the car these guys assured me it was....when I learned otherwise I just wanted it out of my garage. If one does not care about the engine re-stamp, it is an exceptional car....I put my heart, soul and wallet into its restoration.
