SC360 Hornet parts wanted

[Nick ALFANO <71amx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Frank,

This was a little wink, wink on my part.  The car is
just a real clean 71 232 3 on the tree Bittersweet
Orange Hornet that we want to spruce up by putting a
401 in it and all of the other SC360 stuff.  The
stripe kit is one of my reproductions with 401 in
place of the 360 with the same font script.  Thought
it would make for some interesting stories on how it
came about.  You know I like a good story from time to
time.  Something like it started out as a limited
production SC race car that was sent to the dealers as
6cyl VIN car for DOT purposes.  Then the dealers put
the 401 in, hood scoop, Hurst options and stripe.  I
heard all in all there were only 3 made for the street
before the government put a stop to it and the other
two have not been seen since 1974.  One was destroyed
during a 8 sec run at a drag strip when the car pulled
a wheelie in second gear and the driver lost control
and hit the guard rail.  This is the only one still
known to exist.

Sorry for the confusion.

BTW, anyone out there interested in a very good
running and quiet low mileage 232 with a 3spd manual
trans?

Nick

Randal AMC made some 401 Hornets and Gremlins, could
it be one of those 
(from Arizona)? Someone could have had a stripe made,
so be careful! 
Does the VIN indicate a 401 came in the car?
