Without VIN, is it really a proven Boss...folks have been know to add decals and paint schemes to duplicate.  But if it is the real deal, there is one less remaining in the world. Fire damage alone makes heat stressed body metal pretty worthless. 

All turn signals work with full brightness & timing?   Lamp bulbs in tail lights and front turn signals are all incandescent?  For sake of clarification, did you check both flashers...the turn signal and the emergency 4-way flashers? It's possible the flasher is bad out of the...

I've used dental floss for years to remove emblems held on with pins with barrel nuts.  Also can be used to remove the barrel nut - which in the case of refinishing / repainting - should also come out.  It's a bit tricky to catch the edge of the flange, but it can be done.

I typically start in the middle and work my way out - alternating right and left - to the ends.  Start snug, then torque.

I would recommend Remflex header gaskets   http://catalog.remflex.com/category_s/99.htm Best to call them to get best gasket for your setup.  I use them with my Hedman shorties on my 302 with the Holley EFI.

I find it so frustrating that so many hobbyists always assume the dash plate HAS to be original to a car.  After decades of UV exposure and other abuse, many original dash pads dry out, split, and become something no one wants in the car.   Replacing it with something from a junkyard or picked...

As I watched the car go thru the bidding, I kept thinking "that rear spoiler does not look like it's mounted correctly".   Maybe it was the angle the camera  was at.  I would appreciate someone confirming it's in the right location as shown. $170K has to be high water mark for 71-73 years.  ...

I've always found this method to work..

Like Stanglover, I've built wood shipping cases to ship (FedEx) cast iron intakes and such.  Wood  materials are inexpensive, but you need to have some basic construction skills & tools as well as some respect for the parts themselves and the shipping trauma they will endure.

In reference to placement in car show, I've never put much credence to those claims unless its a national level MCA or similar venue (AACA).  If MCA, the judging sheets are the thing to have. I also agree very highly priced for so many missing original B351 components.  IMO, mid $30's US would...

I'm in agreement with one supplement:  If you have the C4 / C6 3 spd auto, stick with the 3.25.  AOD or better, go with 3.50.

I can see a shop reverting to shims if they stripped the lower eccentric bolt.   Also, in agree with potential reasons cited by OMS and timacone.

An extremely attractive package with all the goodies you could ask for in a vert.  IMO, it would be hard not to drive and enjoy what it has to offer. I should think about buying a lottery ticket now and then.....

If it's secured with barrel fasteners, dental floss is worth a try.

Your fuel leak is one issue, the idle is another.  Your description is a fairly strong indication of a vacuum leak.   Since you mention you are using a different carb in lieu of one being rebuilt, it could have a crack in the base plate or be warped enough to create vacuum leak. It might be...

If the flaps are not working - i.e. rattle noise - there's a good chance the internal diaphragm inside the activators is shot,  Which could mean a vacuum leak. Something to keep in mind.  

The new guy decided to leave some room for negotiation.....

'Dum Dum' = 3M Strip Caulk.  Essential for any resto project.

They should remain for factory appearance if that's what you are aiming for.  Whatever you do, don't try to use them to lift the engine.  After the engine has been in operation for awhile (and by now that's many years), the cast iron exhaust manifolds become brittle. If you try to use the...

EFI systems need certain critical  inputs to the ECU and if the system does not have all the information (i.e TPS, 02, timing, etc, etc) it isn't going to cooperate.  Period. I've been running EFI since 2006 on my 69 vert and the learning curve transition from carburetor to EFI has been a steep...
