I experienced just such a hatchet job on my friend's original 289 in the late sixties. We took his car to a muffler shop to replace the mufflers. When we came back, the mufflers that the "mechanic" tried to fit were too big, so he simply sawed pieces out of the frame! We were sick. Could not believe it, but it was too late.
Same car was later stolen so it may have ended up in an even worse state. My friend was able to purchase CSX 2372 thereafter with the insurance money.
