The car I'm getting from Roger Bolick in Austin will look the same. I haven't decided if I want the windscreen as it's not practical for passengers but.....

No.
The dry sump system was an option for the 427 Comp cars. Only a few actually had it factory installed. |

I don't mean to be unkind, but when I first saw that episode on My Classic Car I was thinking that car was too good to be owned by a tool like that.
