Interesting they detuned the 289 with the 260 intake manifold.
The carb is at least a 1966 model with manual choke.
My best guess without the original engine number is that the engine should
have been painted black.
If I read the new Vin correctly it now ends in LRXFF.???
Details, details.
It does look nice though.

or item# 180462584756 if the link doesn't work.
The ad states it has an 'original factory production patent plate' from
Pressed Steel and a link to a pic.
