So, I'm scrolling through the Mecum listings for Kissimmee...

And the listings are a complete shitshow. I’ve found cars listed as:

- Having a 427 in the headline, and the detail says 390

- Headline says automatic (weird in a 421-powered ‘63 Catalina), then detail says 4-speed manual (it’s a manual, duh)

- Listing for a ‘69 442 convertible that has a 350 in it. WTF???

EDIT - and now I see a ‘57 Chevy ‘210' that’s trimmed out as a 150 - based on the interior shots, I think it really is a 150, unless someone put a lot of effort into ‘cloning’ a 150.

If you think you can trust them when they say ‘number matching’, bless your heart.

Caveat emptor

And yet people will bid tens of thousands of dollars on these cars, without having test driven them...

Later I found a “ PHS documented” 1965 GTO with a 421 engine. It’s possible that’s technically true - but I GUARANTEE that the PHS docs don’t show a 421...
