...It's kind of funny how there are so many pictures of doors and the photos are cropped right at the jam. A conspiracy theorist might argue that no one has an elegant solution and everyone is intentionally hiding their hack.
Funny, but I say the same thing every time I watch a televised auction.
I've been wanting to see the tailpipe tips on '70 and '71 Chevelles, and '68 through '71 Corvettes for years. Also the tachometers too.
But every time they swing around for the full shot, they stop at the pipes like they were some ugly appendage not to be seen for fear of lowering the value of the car!
And the tach? They never seem to get close enough.
The reason I'm wanting to see the details is to find out which tips and tachs went with which engine. They had rectangular and round tips. And they had redlines on the tachs that were anywhere from 5500 to 7000 rpm.
I remember the first time I saw a Corvette tach with a 7000 rpm redline and was shocked. Up to that point all American V8's seemed to stop at 5000-5500.
So anyway, it's 40 years later and I still don't know. It's a conspiracy I tell ya!
Of course, I could likely look it up. But where's the fun in that. And that doesn't tell you if someone has faked their big V8 restoration.
