I remember seeing this car when it was Bloomington Gold certified and spoke with the who was a really nice guy. My 2 cents is that it is the real deal although that WS looks like a repo. I'd love to know if it has a tank sticker. One thing for sure is that the restoration is beautiful and those redline tires and BO wheels alone are worth 30K. I'll bet it does well.

a few things stand out too me. the NCRS awards are over ten years old. what gingerbread items are still on the car that was used in judging. looks like a lot of attention to detail but yet the car has a auto parts store master cylinder? the carb appears to be painted gold (, look at the scuff marks around the air horn) one exhaust pipe is correct where the other one is not. its a very beautiful car the PV on that car must have been a nightmare. (hope it all still works) if that window sticker checks out @fsc66 because that is one loaded car

A real window sticker would say "390 HP V8 TURBOJET", wouldn't it? And there are other things I'd question.

I'm sure it will do very well in the auction.

I can’t speak to the correctness of this car, but I have spent the last 2 days at the auction sitting within 10 feet of the car and have probably looked at this
car from every possible angle. It is stunning in every respect. Stance, fit, finish. Just a very typical Nabors restoration that you would have expected.
I think that it will cross the block about 2pm today and it should do well, but at an auction, anything is possible.

The car in the auction




while it's a small item but why would you go as fair in detail and for judging and put the wrong one on the car when the correct one is readily available

Yes it would read exactly that. Don't know why Bloomington makes owners display a WS for judging as it just increases the demand for repo docs that add to the confusion but that is another discussion.

Missing the bleed screws? That's one difference I see.

Note the front nose of the master cylinder in the first pic. There is a machined crescent shape on the front top with an embossed "DC", as well as, the bleeders in the first pic. The master cylinder in the subject '67 has a generic replacement MC.
See pic below of what I'm describing.
