Has there been a cloud established on the Kar or not?? I am wondering about the drivetrain... is it even a hipo bottom end or not?? A guy needs to know this, can anyone go see the Kar and report his/her findings? For such a nice loooking KAr, the veracity of the equipment [ engine, etc.] needs to be answered, not just " he said she said... pull a valve cover, check the carb, etc. To replace the engine with a correct hipo is not cheap, parts and labor could run it up to what? $6000 or more....it adds up and a good engine builder is not cheap either... A price with the cloud removed would be more likely to bring near the buy it now....but with the cloud, no way....<img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Based upon the limited photos in the ad I highly question if the original HiPo block and C-4 Auto are still there.

It has a regular 289 damper - this is a dead give away that the bottom end is wrong.

Casting number mentioned in the add doesn't help - ALL 289 blocks had the same casting number - without a serial number stamp on the block and tranny there is no way to say it is original.

This one needs a very close visual inspection before any money changes hands. Too many questions and incorrect "restoration" stuff to pay big money for this car.
