Im not good at reading and comprehending long articles , but how can these two statements in hotrod magazine article mesh???


1] The little that’s known about the car’s history comes from Tyler. As he wrote in the listing, “I found the car in a small city close to Indy where a retired Air Force pilot had bought it while he was in the service. When we found the car it was apart and a roller, but it came with all the important stuff (original block with the broach marks, transmission, rearend with the factory square traction bar, and very nice original door panels).



2] In 2008 he spotted an online ad for a L78 short-block that was for sale in Seminole, Oklahoma. A year or so later, he was able to “marry” that block with its original pace car home by selling it to Tyler. How the car and engine were separated is one of the mysteries that Dan has yet to unravel.
