Not a problem for me, I just don't buy it. With all the variants out there, from chevy SBs and auto trans to 800 hp blown 4-speed SOHCs to good, bad and out of business replica builders ... leaving this kind of thing to chance for big $$ is likely not in the cards. Otherwise, I would have to believe that she went out and just happened to hit your 'list of particulars' with no coaching from you.
Under the hood: professionally rebuilt 428FE powerplant with the best of everything, including Crower cam, Edelbrock Performer manifold, 750 cfm Holley, Ceramicoated headers & sidepipes, Aeroquip stainless-steel hoses & fittings throughout, MSD billet distributor, 6AL ignition box. Ford toploader 4-speed gearbox with big input shaft and close-ratio gears and Lakewood bellhousing. Suspension: totally-rebuilt Jag XKE front suspension with torsion bar, Delrin bushings, Wilwood Superlite II 4-piston calipers, heavy duty swaybar and Carrera shocks; rear end: rebuilt 3.31:1 ratio XJ6 IRS positraction, Bulletproof halfshafts and 4 polished Aldan adjustable shocks. Cockpit: original-style Smiths gauges with reverse 180 mph speedometer and dash layout, original-style Lucas switches, hardwood-rimmed Moto–Lita steering wheel, Simpson 5 pt racing harnesses, AC brake and clutch pedals.
Regardless, best of luck with it, whether or not I believe it is of no consequence.
