I've seen enough episodes of Pawn Stars to know that documentation doesn't always necessarily mean authenticity....

i know i need to check deeper into it it comes with pics of the car and shows the pan. shure looks like it to me,in all the detail matches... one guy has the engine and drive trane, the other has the car, neither one wants to sell their parts, but wont come togeather to build it...i ended up with a chance to get the pan.. ,the one guy want to part out the engine....any ideas on how to make sure it is wht it is...

I was just getting ready to call you on that:sideways tongue:. Either way, and even if it wasn't a DL piece its still cool. It appears to be from that era and shows what pioneers those guys were. They didnt have mail order internet or summit/jegs on call 24/7 to supply them with whatever milodon pans they needed. They made the stuff themselves. That oil pan is just a hint of the kids of mods made. That is some cool history right there. Of course some mountain william could have made that thing last week for all I know, in which case it sucks

That would look great on the wall with the picture next to it! Maybe even put a light over it , like they do in museums!

Yeah, but you know, crude stuff like that is why we have cool stuff like Milodon now. That was serious innovation. They couldn't just call up Summit and have the UPS man pull up the next day. They had to make it. lol

talking with the guy that has the engine to see if he has other paper or pic when he got the engine,sound weird but holding it i can kinda feel the nostalgia,plus have a craving for a cigar:toothy5:

exactly, when these guys had an idea, they went and made it happen. they hand built those race cars and components a piece at a time. vintage aftermarket LOL very cool

my friends asking 150 to me for it....

 

[63dodge440]

talk to the guy that has the DL hemi, story is spot on...oilpan is from the DL hemi mike landy has verified all is legit, cool never the less...

 

[super-bee_ski]

LOL!
Good find!

 

[RustyRatRod]

If it's legit for 150 and you pass.....well.......you're not very intelligent. LOL
