Has anyone seen this car?

Not arguing that point at all.

Here's what I am saying. If it was indeed installed at a dealer, ugly or not, "incorrect" by some peoples' opinions or not, if judged in a car show, it would have to count as original and correct as it was installed be a certified dealer. Regardless of opinion, that is the fact.

If a dealer did install it, it is as correct as can be.
Problem is, the owner only has "word-of-mouth" verification about this. NO paperwork at all. The previous owner told her the story. They bought the car a few years ago from a flipper at Carlisle. I'm not believing the "dealer installed" thing at all.

I had a guy in high school who bought a '71 Satellite with a 318 in 1976. It was a city fleet vehicle. By the end of the school year he had the story down to that it was a former Hemi car used by the police as a unmarked radar car. #-o That is about as plausible as that "dealer installed" story........
