That is about the strangest, most disjointed and disorienting item I have ever read!

$21 Million for a 1971 coupe chopped down into a slant nose cabrio. Someone repaired the heaterboxes by welding on new metal and the owner thinks now the entire car is a prototype.

Thanks, needed a laugh this morning.

Those are prototype valve covers. If you look close you can see hand filed marks. I hear these were used to make the first mold for all others.
