Besides, Trevor will be busy just getting the specific VIN listed with each period picture including the location and date.
Well, I didn't really want to go into specifics and feel like a dirty little post whore. But I do think, at least from a marketing position, that having as many details regarding what is "correct" (paint, dash layouts, street -vs- S/C -vs- competition, and other basic appearance & mechanical items) would make the book a good reference to anyone building or buying a 427. It appears, to me anyway, that many people jump into building and/or buying these cars without necessarily much interest to their history or stories in the beginning. What I think they do hunger for first is accuarate reference material, then they'll delve into the history etc., once a plan has been set on course. Lord knows, I've seen horrible atrocites commited during builds that owners & buyers often later regret and have to do everything all over again simply because there just wasn't a good reference available that could knock any good sense into them. So, just basic stuff. Make sense, or is this just the scotch talking?
