Default Re: Old Newspaper Ads

I don't think so Mark. I remember back in the eighties I saw the same thing in my local Mpls Star and Tribune. I looked at literally hundreds of these cars and those advertised with 427's for them most part indeed had them. Many a car was purchased solely for the 427 engine and then another engine was swapped in and the car was sold. At one time I had many 427 engines and cars. I only wish I had kept some of those engines. One was yellow painted 425 hp 427 with a low rise 2x4 with some neat history. Unfortunately I heard the cha ching before I listened to the history so off it went. That was in 1981.
