Over time he started having trouble replacing any engine accessories/parts because he assumed he had a 396. As soon as he found it it was the aluminum 427 he changed course and kept the car original. The car was not really any better looking than a regular 69, but the story and that engine did it for me. Before the LS motors came out I used to dream of having an aluminum 427!
      I love stories like that. And there are so many of them. My Mom loves to tease my Dad about his '66 Corvette. It was a 4 speed with a 427 and had the factory side pipes on it. He wanted to sell it to buy a boat and my Mom told him he was crazy and that he'd regret it. He sold the thing in 1971 for $2600 and bought some crappy boat that he had nothing but problems with. Today that same car restored would bring over $100,000 at auction.

      Whenever we bring it up my Dad has to leave the room.
