LMC - their work speaks for itself. Truly Awesome.

[@TechForceFoundation]

Wow!!! Now who ya gonna call to keep that beauty running? A certified technician. #WhenTechsRockAmericaRolls #TechForce #techniciancareers #scholarships

[@jeffrogers3876]

I actually would've expected a little more if that's the LMC restored car that I saw the CZcams video about. There were so many rare and odd things that separated it from any other 66' SC car

[@StevedaGreek]

I thought it would be a lot more, so many replicas around but very few originals and it's massively popular

[@stevefowler2112]

actually believe the early 427's came with side oilers...later they had some center oilers and then the 428's near the end of production.

NICE CAR 🚘🚗🚘

[@rdh5961]

I'd love to know what the restoration cost

[@stevefowler2112]

The group that did the restoration has said the owner gave them an unlimited budget that he wanted the most original car to start with and that he wanted the most stock restoration possible. He stated they even reused all the original rivets in the car. He didn't say the cost but I would swag the restoration not counting the cost of buying the car itself would be over $400K

One badass car, and I’m first

[@BradThePitts]

The strange irony is this wide flare car looks like a bad kit car! The stance is terrible, and the whole thing looks disproportional. It looks strange without the iconic hood scoop, single rollbar, and side pipes.
I admit it might be because I'm constantly looking at my two replicas - one is a Superformance MK3, considered accurate and "licensed" by Shelby American, the other is a Factory Five who's body is a 3D digital scan of Dick Smith's famous 198mph car.
If your opinion is different I will respect that, but I think this is a very ugly and awkward looking car.
It is of course an important and valuable piece of history and I'd love to own it!
