[SS427]

No, I went out again Saturday and spent another few hours checking the car over. No VIN # on tranny (which is quite common), had Tonowanda stamp, date and engine prefix on engine but no VIN number on pad in front or by oil filter. ALL dates codes of All components (excluding water pump, fan and radiator) matched car within allowable time spans. A week ago, I also had another historian and documentation expert with me and he concurred.

The car is VERY rough and I found absolutely NO reason or clue that the car was/would be a fake. I have been restoring/documenting cars for twenty five years and to the best of my abilities, this is no fake. Its a moot point as he won't sell and possibly won't restore the car.

This car is also manufactured in New York and delivered on the East Coast and might have some history but that has not been verified yet.

One hell of a find and a neat piece of history only a few can appreciate but not at this time. I can only pray it gets back on the road fully restored because of its rare existence.
