I've been waiting for someone to Post that the seller is nun-udder than Tony Boccaccio, Tony is the gentleman who had/has the "Canadian-built", apparently, 57 CRL D501 2-dr HT. Tony did show me some documentation, IIRC, to support the Special-Order status, on that car, AND, I've seen that the CAN Paint/Trim plate DOES have a light-stamping, on its "Body" area, on that plate: "KDS-501", but , we are NOT discussing that car, which was sold to Charlie Marshall, of Frisco-area. Charlie told me that he is having Tony complete the resto on that car. The engine number, on "Charlie's" car is KD501-1019, which is a very-early engine-number (the 1st one bearing [either; they were "stamped" in both 'prefixes] KD501-1001, or D501-1001. The last one was reportedly xxx-1102. Tony, IIRC, has referred to engine # KD501-1090(??), which is a "late" stamping. IIRC(ii), that engine may have been bought FROM Charlie, as I 'recognize' that engine as the one which has 'floated' around the country, from the PA area, I obtained a recorded statement from that engine's original owner, years ago. The engine HAD been installed in an all-black Coro convie D501, but it had been (lightly!!) wrecked (driven into a ditch, damaging its rt/ft area), and then, dismantled/discarded...but the engine was pulled and saved. In looking @ Tony's "auction" pics, I see no evidence of former "police" usage/duty. I wrote to him, anonymously, asking for P/T plate, & 'police' info, but never got a response from him. I'm going to PM Charlie Marshall with this message.
