Default Re: Was the Gas cap cover placed in trunk of the 427 on some cars?

Is this true?
No, it is not true. ..his may have been changed, though, over the years.

Maybe his car was recently retrofitted with a fuel cell, without his knowledge.

Actually, when the narrator proudly stated that there were only 50 427's produced and that, "sadly", only three remain.... I switched channels.

Perhaps he got that fact as well from Mr. DuPont.

When I flipped back to the show, it had morphed into an E-M infomercial.
