68 428 CJ Fastback (Real or Not?)

By Ken - 06/20/2001 10:19:05 AM; IP 12.13.226.18

I will be looking at a 68 Fastback 428CJ 4 speed car in a couple of days that is for sale. Except for car shows, I have never looked at one in the past.
Knowing that VIN tags can be changed.

My questions are: How can I make sure that this is really a 428CJ car and not a clone?

How can I tell if this is the original engine?

What should I check on the heads that would let me know they are indeed CJ heads?

I have been told that the car looks like it just came off the showroom floor, has dual quads & ran an 11.50 in the 1/4. (Dual quads & 11.50 don't sound stock, what do you think?)

This thread, so far...
