Wow. You need to get in touch with that kid in Fresno that had the one off mystery bird that he wanted 10 million dollars for. Conspiracy theorist abound. I'd guess someone just reworked the car with what they had on hand. Do you have first hand knowledge/history on the car? Thing is anything could have been done to these cars in the last 50 years. Doesn't have to be some big dark mystery. But if it makes ya feel better then continue on. Whatever makes you happy!
