He claims one of 50 documented dealer installed 427's.

Are there any accepted cases of dealer installed 427's?

I bet there are 50 1967s that now have 427s just not dealer installed. ;D

The seller has that info screwed up just like other things in his description. The 50 cars comes from what Mel Burns Ford had for pie in the sky proposed builds of his supersnake cars. As for dealer installed I know scores of phony's and bogus paperwork. This latest one is just one more phony.  A few years back none had shown up yet . Dave Mathews may have updated info on that now. I saw one legitimate 427 dealer installed about 15 years ago where the owner was entering it in concours. He had genuine paperwork the only problem was the install was done in 1975 if I remember correctly.He wasn't allowed to enter it in concours competition because it was done after the car was delivered new to the first customer.

As some may recall, there was a time when everyone that had one claimed it was FACTORY installed. Well, at least until all the Ford records and SAAC invoices appeared.

The second phase was some diehards changed their stories to dealer installed. Most changed to owner installed.

Now we are in the third phase, copying artwork from dealer postcards and typing your own documentation.

Its not the first time someone has lifted documents from my website, thats why they have minor alterations, from the originals.

As an honest guy it always boggles my mind the levels at which folks go to fake stuff.

A great thing to watch if its available in the states is a program on wine fakery. This chines/japanese guy came on the wine scene and became the number one expert. he was buying an selling crazy priced wine like it was going out of style. Instantly became the go to guy for wine collectors with his knowledge

He was however busted. His factory was his mothers kitchen!!! made all the labels and aged them himself. Made up the history on the wines as well (where found/bought/sold) it was insane

just shows, where there it money folks will go to great lengths to get it.

I have come up short a few times by honoring my word or doing the right thing.

Yeah, it sucks sometimes. But is still the right thing to do.

Lead guy doing that was busted cold because he made a label for a very valuable wine,..for a year the vineyard never actually made it. I think I saw it on a 60 minutes type show. Was very interesting.
