Anyone’s email with the name “Phyllismuthami11” in it and using gmail on top of that is a scammer even if the emails match.

No doubt about the caps.

Why is it slathered in (the wrong color) engine paint?

Red flag.

Going to wash it, insure it, register it and start driving it again. :)

Might even go crazy and buy a car cover for it, it’s a garage queen that never sits outside.

Standard bore size is 4.09375” for the 421.

4.120” is standard bore for the 428.
