Cuda Guy..
you recall correct...somewhat. There was alot of controversy regarding this car for a while, and A LOT of misunderstandings. As I say, I personally know both the owner, and the restorer, and I can give you the word of a total stranger on an internet chat forum, that this car IS for real.
As for MM, they didn't so much print a retraction, as someone from out West wrote in with a few things to say, but his word could not be verified as fact, so MM simply removed themselves from the situation, indicating thatthere MAY be a problem with the authenticity. They didn't so much say if it was or wasn't authentic, but there was questionable statements to the contrary.
Since then, it has been verified that the car is the real deal, but naturally, there hasn't been anything printed about THAT.
Kinda like when someone gets arrested for a crime, it's front page news, but when exhonerrated for the crime he didn't commit, the story gets buried on page 50.
The owner knows what he has, and that's good enuff for him, but I feel bad for the negative publicity that was brought to him as a result of some jag-off in Saskatchewan with a grudge and a chip on his shoulder.
