Kinda wonder where the original engine parts are now...<img src=images/icon_smile_question.gif border=0 align=middle>

Having a build sheet on this one is meaningless now.

The seller does quite a story on this Kar but unfortunately it is clearly no longer much of a "K" Kar anymore. Although it is not cut up it would still take a lot to bring it back to a somewhat original state. Even then it would still not have the correct original drivetrain... With the rack and pinion steering, wiring, dash cluster and engine mods done in the 21st century, it goes against logic for a "K" Kar.

Gotta agree 100%, Fred. With all of those mods, it would have been better if that car began as anything <i>except</i> a K code.

When I see a car like this for sale I always wonder who ended up with the original engine parts? Machine shop employee, restoration shop, the PO?????

It's a "rare K code" Kar... without all the rare K code parts! Somewhee along the line somebody ended up with a load of rare K code parts. It does make you wonder if the owner still has them or if they got sold off by one of the "restorers."

It's a good-looking car, the owner has what he wanted, a restomod driver. It's a lot of money for a driver... might as well have done it to a "C" code car instead... be worth just as much. Had that money been spent to restore the K code back to original it would be truly be a beauty and it would be the Kar I would want.

Yeah, it's important to have the build sheet... that way everyone can see what it was... and what it should have been... as opposed to what it is!
