I misunderstood you, I should have read your post closer. I've been in the Auto sales business my entire life, over half with Ford and was ready to challenge what was read....my error. S & C was were the last remaining unsold 427 was purchased, it had been in inventory for over a year. If my memory serves me right it was also where one of the two twin supercharged 427's that that were built was sold and quickly wrecked. It was then returned to S & C and stored under a tarp in damaged condition for quite sometime.
