    V10 in a restomod?

    I wouldn't be so quick to downplay the 3V, considering that is the platform being used on all the 700hp Saleen cars and better yet, it is an aluminum block unlike the newer 4V engine which is Iron.

    v.i.n. question

    My 70 428 was stamped and my friends 69 390 was stamped, so you are incorrect.

    Tokyo Drift 68 Stang on E-bay $45800!

    I think they dropped listing fees and get a percentage of sale. To me, there are still idiots out there willing to pay way too much for a novelty car.

    68 temp gauge-2 questions

    Sounds like one of those great aftermarket or reproduction sensors. They are terribly off. I had the same problem, found an NOS one, and temps are reading as expected.

    67 fastback GTA

    I don't know so much if it is being rare, as much as many people are tired of all the clones. I know when I bring my car to a show, my car gets more looks than a clone. Maybe because it has been rather well restored, back to factory. It really gets a lot of attention when I open the hood. Even...

    How accurate is NADA?

    Never use it as a buying guide. They lag too far behind what the true real world values are. I get a kick out of all the sellers on Ebay showing NADA in hopes of winning the lottery when they sell their car. The only thing I use it for is when I am estimating the agreed value of my insurance.

    Painting in the trunk

    How do you know that the tank wasn't replaced at some point with that tank that you are saying is painted. Unless you can show me a picture of a car that rolled off the factory floor with the gas tank painted black, I will stand by what has been said earlier.

    Yes, the basic report will define if it is a CS or not.

    California Special with an SLC DSO?

    I would have a Marti Report done. I do not see any reason why the car was not a special order out of the SLC district. Can it be a HCH?

    what kind of oil?

    I was just introduced to this stuff by a friend of mine, who is now using it in all the older cars that run through his shop. http://www.bradpennracing.com/

    modified value

    Cars were undercoated back then, they were dealer add ons. My 67 required several hundred hours to get the undercoating off.

    Looking for a good parts source

    For me it rarely boils down to price. If that was the case I would order most of my stuff from CJ's, but unfortunately, they had screwed me enough times that I started using NPD. I have found their inventory second to none, so they now get most of my dollars. From time to time I will also buy...

    Carfax for classic cars?

    Marti Auto Works can get you a report on how it was originally made and where it was sold, but you cannot track the history without serious work on your part.
