 :iagree:  but it's pretty safe to say there's not a lot of BH N96 cars out there :bricks:

Galen has no interest to me; it is only his count.  With a week left at $52k, I see no problem hitting $75k or more.  Me like it.

My next question is,     If this N96 was available in 71 on a BH would it be fair to say that the N96 was available on the 1970 model BH? 

Anyone see where I'm going with this?

The Plymouth dealership data books from 70 and 71 on Hamtramck historical, show that the shaker hood was not available on Barracudas or Gran Coupes. The 70 Barracuda order form also matches the dealer data book.

Edit: 7/27
The 71 salesman pocket guide shows you can get a shaker hood on a Barracuda and Gran coupe with a 383-4bbl only.  :looney:

The car is at 64,100 today and the reserve is not met.

Figures it's like that.  So, not available.  However, this one car? 

Is this a fake?  Anyone able to call it out?

I'm just trying to learn, not bashing the car. 

The build sheet is a pretty mint sheet.  Awesome to have it.
I'm only a little familiar with build sheet codes, mostly the bottom part of the sheet.
Where on the sheet would it say fresh air?  Wouldn't there be a designation of this?
I've yet to have a shaker car so I am unfamiliar with where the coding would be located.

It would have to have N96 on the sheet in the "N" section....Broadcast sheets cab be faked, but it seems like a very odd car to bother faking a sheet about in my opinion... :alan2cents:

I am aware of fake broadcast sheet only by the sentence you and many others have stated in the past.
When things are faked it appears those with control   hide the information.   
I've seen some fake tags and kinda get the "font" game with those as well as certain specific codes present or not present on tag.


This build sheet looks pretty real and hard to fake.  That is only my opinion. 

I'm valuing opinions on this car as this isn't supposed to exist.

The build sheet appears to have a 6 in the correct location,
Conveniently located just underneath the giant cursive B.
