That is right. Even though My L72 is a 1 owner car and rare, I will do it the way I want. Headers, aluminum Anson wheels, black wall Cooper tires, solid high lift cam, and roller rockers, with tall Chevrolet chrome valve covers and custom made stainless exhaust out the back. HEI will fire the engine with stock original 11 to 1 pistons and bore. It is a street car not a concourse trophy winning car. Not a frame off, because I did not have to do that. Do not get Me wrong, I do not have a problem with others wanting a perfect car. That is not what I remember being a 60's and 70's Chevrolet technician.My car was not perfect off the assembly line, like so many others. I checked them in and then filled in the new car check sheet. My bucket seat corners were rippled, but that did not bother Me. The engine had 1 quart of oil in it, but it ran because of the solid lifters. I got an unconditional warranty on the engine from GM and My dealer. It burned oil and was reringed at 30,000 miles. I dropped 2 valves, seperate runs, but they replaced them. Fit and finish was perfect on My car, with a perfect paint job. That is the way it will be again, but not laquer. I will get more than 40K if the right buyer sees the value. NICK L72
