I have been told by an expert that the canister on E-bay is not an original, or at least the picture is. The little faint line that is just south (below) of the crimped edge is the key. Originals don't have that and repos do. He told me that most of the alum tags that go around the dist had a red dye/anodize coating that turns pink with age. The Red was put on there to protect the alum band from the aging process. Real nice price for a very nice car.

Nice piece of Detroit - err Bowling Green - muscle for sure. I wonder if the original owner wished he would have kept it all these years seeing what it sold for...
Not a Bowling Green either. The correct answer is St. Louis.

I remember this thread and saw this car coming to auction. Wonder what it will bring.

The Mecum's Spring Classic Auction is the best musclecar exhibition I have ever attended. It will be held May 15-20, 2012 at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in downtown Indianapolis.

Hey, I have one of those 850's, NHRA says it goes on my '67 Shelby. If the Vette is worth $610K my carb should be worth at least $2K. LOL
