If it's all what the ad said, it would be a good one to keep close to stock. The one thing is that it's a soild lifter motor so, that's extra maintainence (and needs extra inspection). C2 are a good buy right now but when you're spending that kinda coin, you really need to know what you're getting even to the point of paying a C2 guy to inspect the car before you buy it.

Note: Matching numbers is more that most guys think, not just the serial number on the block & trans.

Grand Imperial Pooh-Bah San Pedro, CA 20859 Posts Member since: 2005/9/7 0:00	Agreed... don't do this to a matching numbers car unless there is a real GOOD reason - like everything is rusted or busted. Otherwise, restore. Matching numbers means: VIN --> Engine --> Trans --> Diff --> Frame --> Drivers Door.

Realistically, most apply the measure I have stated above. The parts you are referring to are consumables. Even t-stat housings, they have a tendency to break at the bolt holes!

The parts you are referring to are consumables. Even t-stat housings, they have a tendency to break at the bolt holes! I consider them rebuildables. Yea, NCRS but "matching numbers" is thrown around too much. Some one calling a car matching with fender flairs, different interior, etc is not correct,IMO. If my car didn't have the correct accessories, I maybe would go away from stock. I'm not doing total NCRS anyway mostly because of the paint (frame & body). T-stat housing's break because of the high percentage of wrench twisters out there that always think tighter is better. This one is 43 years old. Attach file: 2006-04-29 23-37-01_0008.JPG (0.00 KB)
