This is the car I have been patiently waiting for....If it is truly a Stage 1 4 speed car, I will have documentation to disprove that there were only 7 produced. I will have to start bugging this guy now...

 

He's local to me. I will look at it as soon as he calls me back and confirms the VIN, etc..

 

Eric...Get me all the details you can...Wonder what color it is since the pics are kinda crappy???

 

I hope you get the info you need. How can you tell if the car was originally built as a 4-speed?

 

If it is an original 4 speed there will be numbers stamped on the tranny case to verify it. Also, If he has any Sloan documentation,it will prove it. I f Eric can get me a VIN,and seems like this is truly a 4 speed car, I can get the Sloan info myself to prove it.

OK, the seller's name is Bill Young and he sounds like a super nice guy. He is emailing all the info and pictures to me.

It is NOT an original 4-speed (or I would have already handed him the cash, ha!). It is an original Stage 1.

 

Sorry it's not an original 4-speed. Please post all the info and pictures the seller provides. It looks like a neat car. I'd be tempted to put in an overdrive automatic, since the original auto is gone. Or a 5-speed, if my left knee could still handle a clutch.

 

Still waiting for pics. Here are the basics per the seller:

Original Stage 1 auto car from Kentucky. Has "V" in the VIN.
Body: body panels (1/4's, etc...) professionally replaced by his son
Paint: show quality painted 10 years ago with minor scratches now
Engine: not original block, KB cam, 10 qt oil pan, holley carb
Axle: original 3.42 posi
Frame: original
Car has been stored for last 10 years.

Since there is no longer any need for me to verify the transmission date code I will gladly look at this car in person only if someone is seriously interested.
