Yep, that’s Tom’s car. Very nice car. Fully restored, original engine, original fender tags, original sheetmetal, and original broadcast sheets as far as I know, although I don’t know if any formal inspection has ever been done. No clouds that I’m aware of. The billboard stripe and wing have been added. Of the ~122 ‘71 Hemicudas built roughly 75% are known to exist today. Of the existing ones 6 of them were white, 2 autos and 4 4-speeds. As far as I know this is the only white 4-speed that still has its original motor, but to be fair there’s not too much info about 2 of the 4. I believe one of these two MIA white 4-speeds is the ex-racecar in France pictured at the bottom of the article Diego wrote a few years ago, and being an ex-racecar I consider it likely to have lost its original motor at some point:

Overall I’d say about half of these known ‘71 Hemicudas still have their original motors, although as Tom suggests in his ad this attrition rate is probably much higher in A34 Super Track Pak equipped 4-speeds like his.
