But the real sought after would be ones #'s matchings for thier ride. (not fun to drive)

In terms of the largest volume of cars that would benefit from a 'date correct' (not saying thats a big benefit) it would probably be an F440 HP or HP2 (as we all know the 2 doesn't matter).

(not fun to drive) It is still a toss up since my numbers 70 hp is missing... do I use a early 70 hp or a later 71 hp one. the later one is warranty non vin stampped block . Or use the earlier one that is stamped 0b with a non matching vin...my car build date was april 69... both are at my disposal Last edited by R/T 70 Coronet; 12/14/08 02:24 PM.
