General Discussion / Re: '69 396 SS/RS for sale on FB
« on: September 04, 2024, 02:54:54 AM »
The car is not a barn find. Back in 2017, it had a fake 10-10 X66 tag on it. Now a fake 69-69 X22 tag.

Based on GM data. Some options get broken down, but some times they don't.
L34 - sorry, got tired of crunching the numbers.

The host doesn't provide much information, but after the site went down for a day, the forum is much faster. I'd say back to normal. BTW, down to 198 guests.

I'm still seeing issues. I've raised the problem with the hosting service. They are supposed to be working on it.

67-69 MC's were black. It was a cheap paint on an unmachined surface - it didn't hold up hence why natural was thought to be correct.
If you look at a well-stored Corvair, the MC is protected in the front trunk and will be black.

Yes, and the car has a POP too. Sounds like it's been modified over the last few years....

Something isn't right with those numbers.
7N184946 was built about 3/3/67. It can't have the original engine that is built 2 weeks later.

Those aren't castings, those are forgings. Very different process.
> When something is cast, the material is heated above its melting temperature and poured into a mold where it solidifies.
> When something is forged it is physically forced into a shape (in a die) while remaining in a solid state – although it is frequently heated.
