    I don't see anything in the shadow except a spot where an ear used to be. Is this just me? :Do No:

    hey, there's only one smart@ss allowed per thread and i'm the current designee. :rant: :grin:

    that was pretty good though. :beer

    i'm a drafter and have a lot of experience with video games and work prints and such so i've probably got a better grasp of the rotation of 2d/3d objects than your average bear but most of this was caused because our ebayer doesn't understand much about perspective or presentation. if he had moved the camera in the original pic even 5 to the left before he took the picture i'm sure we wouldn't have ever had this discussion.

    it is pretty difficult to see and to understand the perspective change between the two pics it does help quite a bit to be used to doing things like that.

    That doesn't look to bad judging from the pictures.
    Shouldn't it have 455 badges on the fenders below the name Centurion?

    If it was a 73, then yes it would have 455 badges. 71 and 72 Centurions had the 455 standard - like the Wildcat..

    Centurion in Alton

    The vin on the Ebay Centurion from Alton indicated a high perf 455 with the bigger valves. Might even have a posi in it.
