I was offered a Hi Tech shortly before I bought my ERA. The Hi Tech had a real deal dated coded 1965 427 side oiler, to me, the 'holy grail'. A stunning car and very well done to 'period correct' but with one fatal flaw. The live axle 9" rear end, everything else was perfect, but I continued to search. For myself, I simply HAD to have IRS and a side oiler, nothing less would do. My friend bought the Hi Tech and later sold it to another friend. I've now followed that car through THREE owners, all of them loved it! I even work on it from time to time and DO admire it's build quality and accuracy. Now if it just had IRS I might be the most recent owner...
