I personally don't mind being asked questions about my car, however I don't like been asked what I paid for it. That is one question that I would not answer. I guess when I don't answer that question I can be persceived as a jerk.
It is a replica also can be considered as an ORIGINAL Backdraft.

That is really too bad. All the original car owners we know are really nice. Several of them have even bought cars from us.

I actually bought one of these engines. Story was a '68 GT500KR had a blown motor (short Block), and was replaced with a 427 short block, keeping the 428 CJ heads, intake, and carb. So, this engine was really a 427 CJ.

I now need to put the date matching heads/intake on ebay for sale when I get a chance.
