There have been lots of rumors and claims over the years on cars never documented or that never materialized. Back in January 2010 a coupe appeared on eBay that was red/red leather no-radio, J56, bolt-ons, redlines, PS, PB, PW, full tint, 75326 miles, in Virginia, 00711. The gentleman selling the car was honest and forthright in his ad and on the phone, freely stating there was no paperwork, he had owned it since 1982, was certain the block had been decked and restamped before his ownership and thus he was selling it as having a replacement block. It sold for a reported $87,650. Another mouth-watering car but no way of knowing what it really is.
I believe there only two for sure maybe three with REAL Validate documentation 67 Red/Red L71 Coupe on the planet .

You posted the paperwork for 12421. 12373 is also a red/red 435 coupe that has validated paperwork. It is a N11 car.

Unfortunately I don't know 12373 at all. I wish I did. I know 22410 fairly well since I came close to purchasing it about 10 years ago.

I don't believe it needs a restoration. It's a Bloomington Benchmark car, so that would be a shame.
