So, is the 390 still in this car? I assume someone (Smith?) did yank them and put in 428s before they were sold to the public?

I do wish they would video document and share all the cool stuff they are going to find with this car!

These types of cars were never sold to public. I did get a 428CJ and it was donated to a school

Kurt Knoll (mention in video) found the car in a lot owned by the school in 1980 something and bought it from them for $6500

I was able to speak to his sister several times.

 Should'nt donations cars to schools have commitment to salvaged them at resales ?

so, lots of questions - I guess some of which will be revealed hopefully.

I assume Mr. Knoll is a "public" figure who ended up owning this car?  ;D

Not sure if I understand. Kurt approached them and the College decided it could sell him the car. Kurt has since passed away.

Generally in the past they were gifted without any restrictions. We bought several cars from Chaffey College race car program - the best was Paul Newman's Ford Escort for $2,000. They raced it until they ran out of spares then sold it off.

Just how a college is able to decide that a car that was supposed to never have been sold to the public ends up being sold to the public - and thank God they could/did!

Fascinating part of the story, to me at least...

Once restored can it be registered and driven on the street?
