Don't mean to hijack this thread but what's wrong with bored and/or sleaved?

[Koby]

Think it's because it will cost him more to get to where he wants it to be....

[Koby]

And it is bored 0.060 over.... But the hone marks are still visible, we'll see what the machine shop and the owner of my numbers matching block say....

Here's a then (1987) and now picture....

Deja Vu ... is that the same house behind the car too?

[Koby]

Yep, that's the house I grew up in, could that picture have been taken on purpose.....

I've read the whole story. Amazing Koby. Just plain awesome you got it back.

If they have a program to re-issue old plates like they do here in California maybe you could even get the original style plates and number  for the car.

That's an awesome idea.

The last American owner before me hooked me up with some great stuff today.... Basically everything but a broadcast sheet... Plus a bunch of titles and registrations from previous owners

Braking sheet


Oklahoma inspection done for dealer


Shipping invoice to dealer


Warranty


Owners manual and accompanying propaganda (notice number is same as on shipping invoice

BAHAHAH!  Love it!!!

Also love the pic of your mom with the car - that's just awesome.

Congrats - I'm just getting caught up to this as well (saw the post about you being invited to Carlisle.)  It all happened pretty quick for ya, and I'm glad to see that it did.

Hope to see you at Carlisle!

That is a great story!  I hope it all works out for you.

Whats the deal with the original block.  Is the owner going to give it up?
